common form. Doctors don't know exactly what causes atopic baby eczema treatment,
also called atopic dermatitis (pronounced: der-muh-tie-tis), but they
think it's caused by a difference in the way a person's immune system
reacts to things. Skin allergies may be involved in some forms of

baby eczema treatment.

as hay fever. In some people with baby eczema treatment, food allergies (such as
