We first noticed Kyle\u2019s eczema when he was around 3 years old. As a first-time mother, I didn\u2019t know what it was, so I made an appointment with our family doctor.\u00a0 She then referred me to a dermatologist who advised us that Kyle suffers from a mild form of eczema.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to eczemahelp.ca, Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition, characterized by dry skin, with red patches that are extremely itchy. For some people, having eczema really impacts their quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, Kyle\u2019s flare-ups are rare and far and few in between since he was first diagnosed with eczema (also known as atopic dermatitis). What we did notice is that his flare-ups occur mostly in the summer. We often find red, dry, itchy patches on the bottom of his chin, arm bends, and the back of his knees. I believe that part of the reason is that he sweats more in the summer when he\u2019s playing ball hockey and baseball. Typically, excessive sweating is a trigger for eczema flare ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While mild, Kyle\u2019s eczema still causes him a lot of pain and discomfort. So much so that he often has a hard time falling asleep. However, for most people, living with eczema is a burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found that following a treatment plan helps alleviate Kyle\u2019s itching. We are working on being more consistent in following his treatment plan daily during the summer months. As a chronic condition, eczema requires ongoing management. Flare-ups can still occur even when you are diligently taking care of your skin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Those who suffer from Atopic dermatitis (\u2018AD\u2019) deal with it by treating recurrent flares. While there\u2019s no cure, a treatment plan can help manage eczema symptoms. Speak to your doctor about setting up a personalized management plan for AD that works for you and a proper skincare routine can keep your skin hydrated and moisturized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
