If your child has eczema, these tips may help manage flare-ups


A good moisturiser helps improve skin barrier function and minimise flare-ups caused by eczema. — Positive Parenting

ECZEMA is a group of conditions (including skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, among others) that cause skin inflammation, leading to itchiness and a rash-like appearance.

Although there is no cure for eczema, it is possible to manage the condition, allowing children to live a relatively normal lifestyle. However, parents do need to take extra precautions in order to prevent flare-ups from happening.
