Eczema

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a skin condition that affects about 10% of children, with 60% having symptoms in their first year and 90% showing signs before the age of 5. Itchy, red, flaky dry skin is common, along with small bumps that break open with scratching, which can cause infection. Eczema typically runs in families and can be managed with lifestyle and medical treatments.

Hives

Hives are an allergic reaction that causes red, swollen, itchy patches of skin that appear either in one area of the body or all over. Generally, the reaction is to an allergen like food or medication. Foods that commonly cause hives in children include nuts, eggs, and milk. Bug bites, viral infections and sun exposure can be triggers as well, but some hives appear and disappear without a known cause.
