Eczema and psoriasis: how to moisturise your child's skin If your child has eczema or psoriasis, moisturizing their skin requires your attention every day. With patience (and a few tips), you can help your child to use the treatment every day in complete peace of mind.
Eczema and psoriasis have an impact on your little one's quality of life. When the skin is dried out, it causes tightness and itching. This is particularly true for atopic eczema. The result is insomnia and stress for your child... But also for you.
