Eczema
Eczema is a common skin condition that usually begins before your child is one year old. The affected skin is dry, red and itchy. Sometimes, these areas of skin can become cracked, weepy and then scab over. Unfortunately, there is no cure for eczema.
However, there are many ways to control eczema and help your child feel more comfortable. Eczema is not contagious.
