This eczema that presents as rashes and patches, it can develop as early as 3 month’s of the child’s age, or the baby’s checks, progress to red patches on the child’s elbows on the ankles and it can cause red weepy lesions, which are very distressing for the child, because it is itchy for the child but also for the child’s parents who see the child is having this Atopic Dermatitis condition. Usually this Atopic Dermatitis has a family history of a present having atopic eczema or asthma or a common allergy which the present shave before the child inherits one of this. This treatment of Atopic Dermatitis is a lot of familial counseling and care because these children have very dry skin and the skin does not have a airier function which mean it breaks down again and again to give you rashes of Atopic Dermatitis. So use of a mild soap for bathing, use of lukewarm water to take bath, quick shower so that the skin doesn’t dry in a bath ad also application of an emollient so that it reduces the amount of Atopic Dermatitis flare-ups. Doctors do advice very eczematous patients, on seeing very oozy lesions, the use of oral antibiotic short courses, topical steroid creams and topical tacrolimus like ointments and usually Atopic Dermatitis reduces in severity as we grow older or the patients grows older. However it a present as small patches in the adult life as well. If you think your child is suffering from Atopic Dermatitis, the best think you can do for them is to meet the dermatologist to understand the possible triggers, either in the diet or environment and avoid them so that the child can lead a better quality of life.
