What are the symptoms of eczema in children?

The main symptoms of neonatal eczema are erythema, rice-grain papules, blisters, erosions, exudate and crusts on the skin surface, obvious inflammatory reaction, and burning and itching sensation on the local skin.

It usually occurs on the baby's head, cheeks, external ears, and can even spread to the entire face and neck. In severe cases, it can be seen on the hands, feet, chest and abdomen.

Eczema is bright red at first, slightly edematous, with clear boundaries and a moist surface, and then becomes the main symptom.

Infant eczema, commonly known as milk rash, is caused by the fact that children are more sensitive to certain substances such as milk, eggs, fish and shrimp than normal babies. Sometimes they may also have allergies by inhaling dust and pollen, or eating tomatoes and oranges.

If a mother eats these allergenic foods, the child may develop eczema through breast milk. Infant eczema is common in infants aged 1-3 months. It gradually improves after 6 months and can heal itself after 1 year old. At the beginning, eczema is mainly concentrated on the face. As the disease worsens, it gradually spreads to the neck, limbs and even the whole body.
