Baby eczema symptoms?

Baby eczema (atopic dermatitis) most often starts with dry, red, slightly bumpy areas on the cheeks, elbows, and outer surfaces of the knees. The skin in these areas feels rough, itching increases over time, and flaking may be seen. In advanced cases, skin can crack, weep, or form crusts. It typically becomes more noticeable around 2-3 months, with the first 1-2 years being the most intense period. Itching is the most defining feature of eczema — if the baby is restless and sleep quality is reduced, this is even more significant. If redness is only in one area and itching is not noticeable, it could be another skin condition; consulting your pediatrician for a definitive diagnosis would be helpful.
