Video Transcript

"If you're choosing a rug for your home or anything like that where your child is going to spending a lot of time sitting or playing on it, wool is probably not the best option. Try to find a fabric that is soft, that is possibly ecco friendly that your child will not have a problem sitting on and she will not have a reaction just because she's playing on the carpet. With eczema, it's important to use products that are going to be very, very comfortable for the skin that will not cause a reaction. This means that a lot of the products that someone that has eczema will be fragrant free, they'll be very emollient, and they'll be very gentle to the skin. I've discovered that, with my daughter, she's unable to use anything with fragrance in the bathtub. So, instead of using the typical baby shampoo or anything like that, we've discovered that using an emollient cleanser is a great product for her skin, all over her body, including her face. It's great for babies for gentle skin, or even adults. I personally use this to wash my face because I have sensitive skin as well."
