|  |  | | About 20 percent of infants and young children have eczema. It usually starts in infancy, with 65 percent of patients developing symptoms in the first year of life and 90 percent developing symptoms before age 5. About 60 percent of cases persist into adulthood, although many babies with the condition improve by the age of 2.

your baby's eczema. | | Try to keep your baby's skin from becoming too dry. | | Allow baby's skin to breathe with natural fabrics, like cotton. | | Switch to mild, fragrance-free cleansers and shampoos. | | Use the softest sheets possible in the crib. | | Keep your baby's nails short to avoid accidently scratching themselves | | During a flare-up, try applying cool compresses to the area. | | Rapid changes in temperature can make eczema worse. | | | |  | | Have advice you'll like to share? We want to hear from you! |  | | |  |  | | The formula with ACTIVE NATURALS® ingredient colloidal oatmeal found in our new line of Eczema baby care products, is proven to combat redness and calm irritation.
