DERMATITIS

The terms eczema and dermatitis are often used interchangeably to describe the same condition. Dermatitis is characterized by a rash, dryness of skin, itching, and redness of skin. The symptoms of dermatitis occur due to the over production of damaging inflammatory skin cells and continue to worsen as a result of certain factors in the environment.

Babies and Dermatitis

Use caution when appying skin care products on babies. Baby oils and lotions can clog your baby's pores, causing rashes, and should be used with caution, if at all. Fragrances added to products may also be irritating to babies. Hair should be washed with a mild baby shampoo.
