At the time babies are born their immune system is in a stage of growth in which it is incessantly growing and conforming to each of the germs that the babies come into contact with. This implies that their immune system is low and does not have the full capability to defend things off. Different things can be warded off while others seem to touch the majority of newborns and young toddlers. One such problem is baby eczema.

Baby eczema is a skin condition in which dry and abrasive patches will start to appear on the surface of the babie's skin. These patches of skin are most normally found on the babie's face - but it is feasible for it to impact larger sections including their scalp. It can also be discovered on the arms, neck, legs, knees, and hands.

This particular skin problem will commonly develop when the baby is less than a year old - but it is feasible to start later in life. Health reports show that 1 in 5 children will be diagnosed with this skin problem at some point in their life.

The good thing is, it is feasible for your child to outgrow baby eczema and if they are lucky they may only have mild eczema symptoms.

  • Pet dander
  • Excessive dryness
