How To Prevent an Eczema Crisis | Professor Harper, Pediatric Dermatologist | La Roche-Posay

Parents ask Professor Harper, a Pediatric Dermatologist, how to prevent their child, Tamara, from an eczema crisis. Shop the La Roche-Posay Lipikar Range: www.laroche-posay.co.uk/lipikar MUM: In general with Tamara, in the evening we have a really lovely routine: we come home from work, give Tamara her bath, she has some milk, brushes her teeth and it’s time for bed. However the one part of the evening that’s quite unpleasant is the post-bath routine, when we actually lather her with her cream. It’s late in the evening and she’s quite irritable, but I know that if I don’t do this her skin might flare-up. How do I prevent an eczema crisis? How can you prevent an Eczema crisis? Prof. Harper: What you’re describing is one of the challenges of treating eczema, and these post-bath regimes are really important. The way to manage eczema is really in two parts. Firstly, it’s important to actively treat any red scaly patches with the treatment cream that’s prescribed by your doctor. Secondly, to prevent eczema, there needs to be a daily skin regimen, which includes bathing with an oily bath additive, and to apply a moisturiser to all of the skin, even if the baby has no eczema. And gradually, as her skin becomes more comfortable, I think she’ll probably tolerate it better.
