Symptoms of infant eczema: Infant eczema usually develops 1-3 months after birth, gradually improves after 6 months, and most children gradually recover on their own after 1-2 years old. Some children develop the disease during infancy or childhood. The severity of the disease varies. The rash is common on the head and face, such as the forehead, cheeks, and top of the head, and then gradually spreads to the chin, neck, shoulders, back, buttocks, limbs, and can even spread throughout the body. At the beginning, there are scattered or clustered small red papules or erythema, which gradually increase in number, and small blisters, yellow-white scales and crusts can be seen.
