Patchy Eczema on Baby’s Face, Redness During Crying, Also on Ears and Thighs

Question

What is the situation when my baby’s face appears with red spots, turns redder during crying, and there are similar rashes on their ears and thighs?

Answer

There is no cure for eczema, and it can only be controlled with medication. Common eczema problems in infants usually improve naturally by the age of one and a half years. If the symptoms are severe, you can use creams designed for eczema, such as Eumovate cream, which has fewer side effects on infants and helps relieve itching. Once the rash has improved, you can use zinc oxide cream and Dove soap to apply to your baby daily.
