For Parents

The pain and constant itch of eczema can distress children and disturb their sleep. It can interfere with school, cause low self-esteem, and make them feel self-conscious about their appearance. Some children even avoid social situations because of it.

You can help your child cope with their condition by helping them understand the importance of a daily routine to keep their eczema under control. Smaller children and toddlers will also benefit from good skin care practices and the right treatment.
