With eczema (atopic dermatitis), your baby develops frequent rashes and red patches. The rash might look like dry, thickened, scaly skin.
Sometimes the rash will blister or ooze. It’s uncomfortable and itchy, so babies scratch, sometimes resulting in infection.
The face and neck are often affected first, and it may spread to the body, and the inside of the elbows and knees. There are many possible causes for rashes, and young children do have sensitive skin, so it’s a good idea to get a diagnosis from your doctor.
