Childhood Eczema

Click here for a practical guide to childhood eczema to help stop the itch and control the rashes.

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.
