Atopic eczema treatment: skin cure

Atopic eczema(childhood eczema) is a common chronic condition in children. It significantly impacts the daily activities of the child and the parents.

The condition is typified by periods of worsening symptoms (exacerbations), sometimes resulting in lack of sleep, school absences or hospitalisation.

Good, preventative skincare can substantially reduce the frequency and severity of these exacerbations and improve the quality of life of these young patients.
