Dr. Doireann O’Leary explains exactly what eczema is, how we can treat it and why having milton baths will help to restore your skin barrier thus clearly your eczema.
The medical term is atopic dermatitis, which is a very common skin condition, especially in children, although most children will grow out of it. It is a part of a family of atopic conditions like hayfever, food allergies or asthma, so if you have one you are more likely to get another. There is also a genetic connection so if a parent has it then the child is more likely to have it.
Oh no, that is such a myth and a harmful one, as parents and children get themselves worked up about the foods they are eating. It is really clear and I have no doubt about this, food and what we are consuming does not cause eczema. Food does not cause eczema, it does not come from within.Yes, of course. If you over aggressively dry your child after a bath with a towel this could flare up the skin, you should always pat dry. On the other side you need to make sure their hands are fully dried.
