Description

There could be a relatively simple way to prevent eczema in children, and it starts at just a few weeks old.

A new study has compared infants who received daily moisturisation with infants who didn’t.

It seemed to lower the rate of eczema, which is also a risk factor for children developing food allergy and asthma.
