Oil on troubled dermas

Article Abstract:

It is essential for parents to know the triggers which may affect their child's atopic eczema. There are several different triggers, such as pet fur, synthetic fibres and heat. Bathing in specially prepared oils will help reduce dryness of the skin and prevent inflammation, while steroid creams may be prescribed to severe cases. Children may be affected from a very young age and it is important to control the spread of infection and reduce discomfort.

Parents need to know they have the support and confidence of nursing staff, as they have to administer treatments on a daily basis.
