Eczema is a common dry skin condition that occurs when the skin is unable to produce sufficient fat and oil and cannot retain water. This results in a weakened protective barrier, causing gaps between skin cells. Mild eczema presents as dry, red, scaly, and itchy skin, while severe cases may involve weeping and bleeding.
Managing Eczema Flare-Ups
Flare-ups can be triggered by various uncontrollable factors. However, you can control the clothing your child wears. Opt for 100% cotton or 100% silk materials, as they are gentle on sensitive skin. Avoid scratchy or irritating fabrics. When washing clothes, use detergents designed for sensitive skin and rinse thoroughly to minimize skin irritation. Ensure creams and soaps are free of colouring and fragrances.
Preventing Itching and Scratching
Eczema can cause significant discomfort, and children may scratch to find relief, leading to further skin damage. During the day, keep their nails short and use mittens to prevent scratching. At night, baby sleeping bags can help by preventing your child from scratching their body.
