Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is one of the most common pediatric skin conditions, affecting infants and children. It causes red, itchy, and inflamed patches of skin, often appearing on the cheeks, elbows, and knees. Eczema can be triggered by allergens, irritants, or changes in temperature, making management crucial. Treatment typically involves moisturizing the skin, avoiding triggers, and using prescribed topical steroids or other medications to control flare-ups. Early intervention and proper management can help children with eczema lead more comfortable lives and prevent long-term skin damage.
