Understanding Eczema in Infants and Children

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a common skin condition that causes red, itchy, and inflamed skin. Infants and children often experience this condition on their cheeks, arms, and legs. It’s crucial to understand the triggers and how to manage them to prevent flare-ups.

Eczema Treatment Guide for Infants & Children

Identifying Eczema Triggers

Identifying triggers is essential in managing eczema. Common triggers include allergens, irritants, and even stress. By avoiding these triggers, you can significantly reduce flare-ups. Keep a journal to track potential triggers and avoid them as much as possible. Learn More: Eczema Triggers

Bathing and Moisturizing

Bathing and moisturizing are key components of an effective eczema treatment routine for infants and children. Use lukewarm water and mild, fragrance-free cleansers. After bathing, pat the skin dry and apply a generous amount of a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer. Moisturize your child’s skin at least twice daily to keep it hydrated.

Choosing the Right Clothing

The right clothing can help manage eczema symptoms. Dress your child in soft, breathable fabrics like cotton. Avoid wool and synthetic materials that can irritate the skin. Ensure that clothes are loose-fitting to minimize friction and sweating, which can trigger eczema.

Diet and Eczema

Diet can influence eczema. Some children may have food sensitivities that trigger their symptoms. Common culprits include dairy, eggs, and nuts. Consider working with a healthcare provider to identify and eliminate potential food triggers from your child’s diet. Learn more: Could Food Trigger Eczema?

Body Cleansing with Goats Milk Soap

Goat’s milk soaps are the perfect cleansing bar for all skin types conditions and ages. Our Goat’s milk soaps gently clean while softening and soothing sensitive skin. Due to the high fat content in milk, goat’s milk soap eliminates itching, irritation, and pain caused by the symptoms of eczema and dry skin.  Our rich lathering soap also treats redness and inflammation. 

We encourage you to stop using commercial soaps and body washes that contain harsh detergents and chemicals that strip the skin of its natural oils and cause irritation to skin that is already sensitive and inflamed. 

Treating Scalp Eczema with a Shampoo

Eczema is a condition that can cause flare-ups of a red, scaly, itchy rash to appear on different parts of your body including your scalp.  Dealing with dry flaky skin on the scalp can be difficult.  Our customers have found relief from the itching and irritation and an elimination in the flakes and dandruff by switching to one of our All-Natural Shampoo Bars. 

Our shampoo bars are available in Fragrance Free, Herb Garden (scented with ultra-calming and soothing essential oils), and our best-selling Neem Tea Tree Shampoo & Body Bar that is formulated as a treatment bar specifically for eczema, plaque psoriasis, and dry skin.  Neem and Tea Tree have therapeutic properties that help heal and repair skin while reducing redness and inflammation.

Effective Natural Moisturizers for Eczema

Moisturizers are beneficial to everyone with eczema and we encourage you to apply them daily.  Children with eczema suffer with very dry skin that needs moisture, especially during the dry winter months or in drier climates.  Drier conditions such as cold weather and dry heat inside homes and buildings can exasperate the condition. 

Moisturizers will not cure eczema, but they keep it under control by hydrating and protecting skin.  Moisturizing helps relive the itching, irritation and pain while reducing the dryness, inflammation, and scaling. 

To get the most from moisturizing, apply immediately after bath or shower while the skin is still moist.  Application is encouraged as needed throughout the day and always before bed. Skin is most receptive to repairing itself from damage caused by daily aggressors at night. 

We offer an all-natural goats milk moisturizing lotions, baby balm, soothing ointment, and our incredible neem cream that are formulated with active ingredients to treat eczema.  Choosing one will depend on the severity of your condition.
