How can I help my child with eczema?

It's important to keep the skin moisturized and avoid triggers. Have you identified any specific triggers for your child?

Yes, we think dust mites and certain soaps might be causing flare-ups.

That's a good observation. Consider using hypoallergenic soaps and regularly washing bedding in hot water to reduce dust mites.

What kind of moisturizer should I use?

Look for thick creams or ointments that are fragrance-free. Products with ceramides can be particularly helpful.

How often should I apply the moisturizer?

Apply it at least twice a day, and immediately after bathing to lock in moisture.
