During your baby’s first few months, you may notice crusty or flaky patches on their skin which could be eczema.

If it is indeed eczema, babies with light skin will have patches of red skin and darker-skinned babies will have purple, brown or greyish patches of skin.

The patches of skin will be dry, rough and itchy, typically appearing on the cheeks and the joints of their arms and legs.

Eczema can affect just about any part of your baby’s body.

Eczema causes red, inflamed skin that is usually extremely itchy.

Psoriasis usually causes well-defined patches of redness and the skin is thicker and more inflamed than with eczema, with more of a burning sensation than just an itch.

Eczema usually appears on parts of the body that bend, like the inner elbow, behind the knees, wrists, ankles or on your neck.

Psoriasis often shows up on the palms of your hands, your elbows, knees, scalp, face, lower back or on the soles of the feet.

Eczema is a condition which causes patches or wider areas of dry, itchy, irritated skin.

It’s really common, especially in children, so you probably know a few people who have eczema if you don’t have it yourself.

Eczema is a chronic condition, which means that it’s a long-term thing that won’t just go away overnight and will sometimes get better or worse.

There are many different types of eczema, but the most common type is atopic eczema, which is also known as atopic dermatitis.
