Understand my skin

Everything there is to know about your child's atopic skin

As soon as anyone mentions atopic dermatitis (more commonly called atopic eczema), it's surprising to hear how many parents deal with it. In developed countries, it is estimated that 10 to 20% of children will develop signs of atopic dermatitis at some point in their life.

Solutions & treatments

Daily treatments and care

It's hard to stay calm and lucid when eczema is constantly flaring up. Your baby cries a lot, isn't getting enough sleep – and neither are you!

Dr Magali Bourrel-Bouttaz, Dermatologist.

An atopic eczema flare-up is never a random occurrence. You are always able to overcome it, but it's also important to recognise the situations in everyday life that encourage flare-ups. Dr Bourrel-Bouttaz uses a simple comparison to make her point: "If there's a fire in your house, you spray water on it. If it starts again two weeks later, you spray water again. And you keep doing this until you understand what is starting the fire!" Thanks to her explanations below, discover the trigger factors, understand why it causes flare-ups, reduce the number of risk factors and space crisis out as widely as possible.
