Is infantile eczema contagious?
Infant eczema is not contagious because it is the most common skin disease among children, especially babies and young children, also known as atopic dermatitis. It primarily presents as local proliferative and exudative changes, and it is not an infectious disease, so it is not contagious.
Therefore, infant eczema is ultimately caused by intrinsic reasons. Consequently, when a child comes into contact with another child who has eczema, they will not contract eczema. Parents should note this; it is only a skin condition and is not contagious because it is not an infectious disease. Therefore, when a child has eczema, we must treat it actively, primarily focusing on moisturizing and using mild topical corticosteroid creams.
(The use of medications should be under the guidance of a doctor.)
