  • Title: The management of eczema in children.
    Author: Robinson J.
    Journal: Community Pract; 2015 Sep; 88(9):33-5. PubMed ID: 26489250.
    Abstract:
    Eczema is very common in children and impacts significantly on the quality of life of children and their families and carers. Poor adherence remains the main cause of treatment failure. Rigorous and consistent use of treatments is key to relieving symptoms, but many parents experience significant barriers to application. Community practitioners are ideally placed to educate parents in the use of emollients, and where necessary topical corticosteroids, identify and discuss problems and help parents to develop strategies to overcome difficulties. Food allergy is associated with eczema, particularly in infants and the risk increases with severity. Community practitioners need to be confident in its recognition and management.
