Give your child a short lukewarm bath or shower every day or every other day. Use a mild, nonsoap cleanser that&#8217;s labeled fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.<\/p>\n<p>After a bath of 5 to 10 minutes, rinse completely, gently pat your baby dry and apply a fragrance-free cream or ointment such as petroleum jelly (Vaseline) while the skin is still damp. Moisturize at least twice a day, perhaps at diaper changes. When trying a new moisturizer, test it on a small area of the child&#8217;s skin first to make sure it&#8217;s well tolerated. Keep using this skin care routine even if your child&#8217;s skin looks and feels better.<\/p>\n<p>The symptoms of baby eczema also may be eased by avoiding irritants \u2014 such as itchy fabric and harsh soaps \u2014 and extremes in temperature. To prevent your child&#8217;s scratching the rash, it may help to keep your baby&#8217;s nails clipped short or to put on cotton mittens during sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Have your baby examined if the condition persists or the rash is crusty and weepy or has blisters. A child who has a fever and rash also may need to be seen by a healthcare professional. Talk with your child\u2019s healthcare professional about using a medicated cream or ointment or trying bleach baths to ease symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Most children outgrow baby eczema by 3 to 5 years of age.<\/p>\n<p><!--googleoff: all--><\/p>\n<div class=\"contentbox no-border\">\n<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/~\/media\/kcms\/ux\/css\/newslettereh.css\"\/>\n<article>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<p>\n                \u00a0\n            <\/p>\n<div class=\"myc-subscription-form\" data-sending-url=\"https:\/\/s74881809.t.eloqua.com\/e\/f2\" data-name-form=\"MKT.PES.HC.EmailSignup2\" data-last-step=\"true\">\n<div class=\"myc-step-container\">\n<div class=\"myc-subscription-step-wrapper\" id=\"first-step\" aria-describedby=\"formTitle\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"myc-form-comp-wrapper\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"gralError\" aria-describedby=\"errorBanner\" hidden=\"\">\n<p role=\"alert\" id=\"errorBanner\" class=\"myc-error-header\">There is a problem with<br \/>\n                                information submitted for this request.
