There are 3 really important steps when caring for your child with eczema.
Moisturiser
The more often you use it, the better.
Bathing
This can be really helpful. Bathing once a day cleans the skin and prepares the skin for creams after the bath.
Steroids
If your child's skin has red, itchy and active eczema, please see your doctor or nurse.
These are really important if your child's skin has active eczema and is red and itchy. Steroids can help to soothe the skin and allow it to heal and become comfortable again.
Always remember, if your child still has red, itchy and active eczema, please see your doctor or nurse.
