First, a bit of background on the skin condition. So, what does baby eczema look like? Skin affected by baby eczema (also called Atopic Dermatitis) can be red, inflamed, dry, and usually shows within the first six months for a newborn. Eczema is a chronic condition that may disappear as a child grows older, although some children will have flare ups into adulthood.
Baby eczema causes skin to become uncomfortably itchy. In fact, itchiness can cause 83% of children with baby eczema to have trouble sleeping. This is bad news for their skin barrier, which becomes weaker when your baby scratches, causing more moisture loss and exposure to irritants. Needless to say, this cycle is often stressful on parents and can affect the whole family’s quality of life.
