Does your child complain of itchy, dry skin? It could be eczema.
Eczema is a general term used to describe a number of different skin conditions.
It usually appears as reddened skin that is dry and peeling or may start oozing, occasionally resulting in small, fluid-filled bumps.
When eczema becomes chronic (persists for a long time), the skin tends to thicken, dry out, and become scaly with coarse lines.
