How to Manage the Itchy, Painful Effects of Infantile Eczema

Infantile Eczema (atopic dermatitis) can show up as dry, scaly patches on a baby's skin, often during their first few months. Babies can get the condition virtually anywhere on their bodies, but most often, it affects their cheeks, chin and joints of their arms and legs. While most babies outgrow atopic dermatitis, it is oftentimes itchy and painful.

Dr. Elizabeth Nieman joins the show today to discuss how pediatricians can help parents keep this condition under control, and at what point a baby should be referred to a specialist.
