Eczema can be troublesome and widespread especially in infancy. Allergies are common in eczema, especially when severe. Understanding environmental and dietary allergies in eczema can help to improve the condition.
However, it is rarely possible to remove all the allergic triggers from your child’s eczema, and modifications to diet and your household rarely provide a cure, although they can improve matters considerably.
Daily application of moisturisers is the key to gaining control of symptoms, along with use of medicated creams as directed by your doctor.
