What causes my child’s eczema and is there a cure?

Dr Ranj explains: Eczema is a condition where the skin becomes inflamed, dry, and itchy - it usually starts in childhood, and there may be times when it's worse than others. There is no single cause, and there's probably a number of different factors that play a part, including genetics, changes in climate, allergies, and diet, and different people can have different triggers. There is no cure for eczema, but the right treatment can help ease and control your symptoms. Emollients like Cetraben are the most common form of treatment, but some children do require stronger or specialist medications. Fortunately, 2 out of 3 children will grow out of it by the age of 16.
