Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is baby eczema?
Eczema is a common skin condition affecting more than 31 million people in the U.S., including about 10-20% of infants, who may develop it within their first year of life.2,3 Like eczema in people of all ages, symptoms of baby eczema can include a dry, itchy, bumpy, or flaky rash with an inflamed or leathery appearance.
While there is no cure, almost half of infants who have baby eczema will see a significant improvement as they age, and some may even grow out of it altogether.2 In the meantime, you can curate an effective care routine with an eczema cream for babies, like CeraVe Baby Eczema Relief Cream. For further advice, speak to your pediatrician.
-
What does baby eczema look like?
Similar to other skin conditions and blemishes, eczema can manifest differently from person to person (and baby to baby). That said, skin tone can affect the appearance of eczema in babies. For instance, baby eczema can look pink, red, or even purple on lighter skin, while it may take on a purple, gray, or brown hue on darker skin. Other telltale signs of eczema can be dry, itchy, bumpy, or flaky skin, or scaly, leathery, or crusty skin.2
-
What causes baby eczema?
It’s tempting to look for a single reason for anything that causes your little one discomfort—mysterious or known baby rashes included. But there’s no single culprit behind baby eczema. Rather, it’s a complex condition that involves a combination of genetics and an overzealous immune response to environmental triggers, such as certain soaps, ingredients, and high temperatures. And around half of those with eczema have an inherited variance in a skin protein called “filaggrin.”2
-
Do babies grow out of eczema?
While there’s never any guarantee when it comes to baby eczema, many—almost half—of infants with eczema will eventually grow out of it or have a significant improvement in the condition as they age.2
-
How else can I help manage baby eczema?
Whether or not your infant’s eczema is fleeting or sticking around for a while, there are effective ways you can help your little one’s skin feel calmer and more comfortable.2,3
- Liberally moisturizing their skin at least twice a day with an eczema cream for babies, such as the one on this very page (which is suitable for infants as young as 1-month-old), can help soothe and calm skin.
- Baby lotion is another great way to do this, as it helps protect the skin barrier. Try the CerVe Baby Moisturizing Lotion. It’s designed to lock in hydration throughout the day. It’s non-greasy and delivers three essential ceramides throughout the day that help maintain the skin barrier. It is enhanced with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E; our fragrance-free and paraben-free baby lotion delivers soothing and moisturizing benefits for baby’s skin while providing long-lasting hydration throughout the day.
- Give five- to 10-minute baths in lukewarm water, and avoid scrubbing. Also, use gentle cleansers, like CeraVe Baby Wash & Shampoo. Formulated with pediatric dermatologists, this mild, tear-free multitasker will soothe and refresh your baby’s skin and hair while helping to maintain its delicate skin barrier.
- Identify and eliminate elements in your environment that may be causing baby eczema flare-ups, such as dry air, pet dander, or pollen. The same goes for potential irritants in everyday products, such as fragranced soaps and shampoos, laundry detergents, and fabric softeners. Also, keep an eye out for triggers coming from your baby themselves. These may include saliva, sweat, and scratches from their nails.
- Don’t struggle to get eczema under control; you can do it all on your own. Speak to your pediatrician for advice personalized to your baby’s skin.
