Understanding Childhood Diabetes: Prevention, Symptoms, and Management

Recognizing Eczema Symptoms

Dry, itchy, red patches on the skin are key eczema symptoms parents should monitor closely.

Moisturize Regularly

Keep your child’s skin hydrated by using a fragrance-free, rich moisturizer multiple times daily.

Use Gentle Cleansers

Avoid harsh soaps and opt for mild, fragrance-free cleansers to prevent further skin irritation.

Avoid Eczema Triggers

Identify and reduce triggers such as allergens, rough fabrics, and harsh cleaning products.

Keep Skin Cool and Dry

Overheating can worsen eczema. Dress your child in lightweight, breathable cotton clothing.

Manage Scratching

Prevent scratching by keeping nails short and using soft mittens to avoid skin damage.

Seek Professional Help

Consult a dermatologist for personalized treatment plans if symptoms persist or worsen.
