  • Title: Know how treatment for childhood eczema.
    Author: Layton A.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 94(41):30-1. PubMed ID: 9832864.
    Abstract:
    Eczema cannot be cured, but much can be done both to prevent and alleviate its symptoms in children. Emollients--available as bath oils, soap substitutes and moisturisers--have a vital role in treating dry, scaly skin and tackling the scratch/itch cycle. They should be used daily, and can be administered alongside topical steroids and other treatments.
