The first thing to ensure in a period of remission is that you wash the baby regularly. Use an adapted product and shower the baby as opposed to bathing him. After the shower, the next thing is to hydrate the baby’s often dry skin, with an ointment. The second situation is when there is an attack of eczema. As soon as there is redness and itching you need to use the cortisone cream.

Normally the cortisone cream should be enough to diminish the symptoms. However, if the symptoms remain after having used the cortisone cream then you should consult your doctor.
