Eczema is not contagious. Infants are more likely to develop eczema if family members have a history of eczema, hay fever, or asthma.

While these conditions don’t cause one another, infants are more likely to develop hay fever or asthma if they already have baby eczema. Scientists believe eczema results from an immune-system dysfunction that affects the skin barrier and its ability to hold in moisture.Eczema is a general term to describe a number of inflammatory skin conditions. Aside from atopic dermatitis, other types of eczema that commonly affect children include contact dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema (foot-and-hand eczema), and seborrheic dermatitis, or scalp eczema (known as cradle cap in infants).

Treatment focuses on managing skin dryness to prevent flare-ups and on reducing skin inflammation.Doctors recommend the following strategies to parents whose babies have eczema: Avoid giving your baby long hot baths (use cool or lukewarm water instead) or rubbing your baby’s skin too much, especially with rough washcloths, loofahs, or towels.Consider twice-weekly diluted-bleach baths, which can help babies older than three months whose eczema gets infected frequently; discuss with your doctor. Moisturize your baby’s skin frequently with fragrance- and dye-free ointments, creams, and lotions, especially right after a bath.

Dress your baby in soft cotton clothing that “breathes.”Avoid using scented products.Keep your baby’s fingernails short to prevent scratching, which can damage the skin and lead to further inflammation and infection.Remove irritants and known allergens from the household as much as possible.Keep your baby cool to avoid excessive sweating, possibly by using cool compresses (a wet, cool washcloth), especially on irritated areas.Consider using mittens on your small child’s hands if you need to leave the child alone for a short period of time, such as when you’re using the bathroom. This will help prevent the child from scratching their skin when you are out of sight.Your doctor may also recommend other eczema treatments for your child, including: Topical corticosteroidsAntihistaminesAntibiotic, antiviral, or antifungal drugs for skin infectionsOral medication that suppresses the immune systemTopical calcineurin inhibitors, which are nonsteroidal drugs that control inflammation NEWSLETTERS <h3>Sign up for our Healthy Skin Newsletter </h3>SubscribeBy subscribing you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. <h2>Editorial Sources and Fact-Checking</h2>Silverberg J, Simpson E.
