Eczema is an identifier that’s given to a group of conditions that’s characterized by dry, itchy skin that’s also usually inflamed. Although there are several types of eczema, the most common type that can occur in kids are atopic dermatitis and contact dermatitis.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Can eczema be caused by food taken?” _builder_version=”3.0.59″ open=”off”]

Yes. Although food is not a direct cause of eczema, food allergies can trigger the itches. Hence, it would be good if as a parent you have already identified the food allergies of your child and are always exerting effort to avoid such food.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What example of food allergy can trigger eczema?” _builder_version=”3.0.59″ open=”off”]

One of the most common food allergies that can trigger eczema is an allergy to dairy products. Dairy products include milk, eggs, and other related items. It would be good if you can actively monitor your child’s diet, even in the times when you’re not together.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is eczema caused only by physical reasons or triggers?” _builder_version=”3.0.59″ open=”off”]

Surprisingly, the answer to this question is NO. The triggers of eczema is not limited to the purely physical causes. At the end of the day, your child is a human being with emotions. Thus, your child is going to be affected by certain emotional roller coaster rides. Sometimes, these emotions can be too extreme, and can affect even your child’s physical health. These effects can then take the form of itches and eczema.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Would it be alright to take on creative ways to help my child handle eczema?” _builder_version=”3.0.59″ open=”off”]

Of course. Employing creative means to help your child handle his or her condition will be really beneficial, not just for your child, but for you, too. You can do this by engaging your child in conversation, playing games, and other possibly creative means.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Does it help if I keep reminding my child to stop scratching?” _builder_version=”3.0.59″ open=”off”]

This may also come as a shock to you, but no, it doesn’t help at all. Repeating the reminder to your child only causes more stress, and that only worsens the itch.
