Eczema is a common skin condition that often starts before age 2 and causes dry, inflamed, and very itchy skin. While there’s no cure, a consistent skincare routine can make a big difference.
👶 Watch for red, irritated patches—especially on the cheeks, elbows, knees, and wrists.
🌱 Triggers may include allergens (like pollen or food), soaps, chlorine, or certain fabrics.
🛁 Baths with gentle, fragrance-free cleansers + thick moisturizers (within 3 minutes of drying!) are key.
🧤 Avoid scratching and keep nails trimmed short.
If flare-ups don’t improve with daily moisturizing, or skin looks infected, it’s time to check in with your pediatrician.
