A parent's eczema care guide to soothe the itch and calm your child
Eczema affects 1 in 5 children, causing itchy, sensitive, easily-damaged skin that flares-up painfully. The Calm Skin Guide offers an overview of all the treatment approaches on offer, giving you everything you need to formulate your own management plan for your child, and the tools to adapt when things change. It includes clear guidance on:
- Eczema and the itch-scratch cycle
- Doctor and pharmacy-based treatments, including emollients, steroids and antihistamines
- Alternative treatments, how to assess them and how to use them
- Identifying triggers in the home like dust, humidity, skincare products, detergents and foods
- The relationship between eczema, asthma and allergies, and how to manage these conditions together
- An emergency flare-up chapter - what to do first
With tips on washing and laundry routines, practical ideas for ensuring comfortable, itch-free sleep, and guidance from GPs and dermatologists, here is friendly, research-based advice to help you keep your child's eczema - and the distress resulting from it - calm, soothed and under control.
