Eczema on the neck region is quite common in babies. The neck skin is sensitive and can remain constantly moist due to saliva, milk residue, or sweat, making eczema prone to settling there.
Neck eczema typically appears as redness, small bumps, and slight flaking. Itching may increase as the baby perspires or the neck becomes wet. In this case, you can:
- Keep the neck dry. After bathing, thoroughly dry the neck folds with a soft cloth.
- If milk or saliva is dripping onto the baby's chin, wipe frequently and apply a thin layer of protective barrier cream (zinc oxide or soothing ingredient).
- Prefer cotton, breathable clothing with wide necklines.
- Keep products containing scent, perfume, or alcohol away from the neck area.
If the redness is spreading, the skin becomes cracked and oozing, or your baby becomes restless and sleep patterns are disrupted, consult your pediatrician.
