Eczema in children is on the increase, and links have now been made between the rise in cases and the way we treat children’s skin in the first few weeks of life.

Professors as Sheffield University have recently conducted research which has found that:

•

Since the 1940s, our genes have not changed but there have been substantial changes in our environment. One of these is the exposure of babies to harsh soap and other detergents that directly interact with changes in several genes, leading to a breakdown of the skin barrier. This allows the penetration of allergens that interact with the immune system and trigger flares of atopic eczema.

• The marketing of cleansing products has resulted in increased and unnecessary washing, using products that contain substances that can irritate the skin. Perfumed products should be avoided.

• Contrary to popular belief, organic or ‘natural’ products may not be any better! Organic products cannot prevent the growth of bacteria, and olive oil has been found to be unsuitable for young skin.

• Aqueous cream, which is commonly prescribed for the ailment, has also been found to be damaging to young skin, and should be avoided.

• Medical moisturisers or emollients may be the best way forward when young children are affected by eczema
