Infant eczema is also referred to clinically as infantile atopic dermatitis, which is an allergic skin disease caused by a variety of internal and external factors such as genes and environment. Generally, it starts from the face and gradually spreads to other parts of the body, appearing in pieces, most of which are symmetrically distributed. The skin is red and rough, scaling, accompanied by severe itching and even cracks, water seepage, and finally scabs. Due to the itchy nature of eczema, eczema may be manifested as rubbing of the body in younger babies, while older babies may actively scratch their bodies.

In this episode, we will discuss about the types of infant eczema; how to identify them and tips on how to manage eczema.
