How to treat an eczema in a 5 month old baby?
Patient: I took my 5 month old baby to the doctors today for a follow up appointment concerning eczema. I have recently noticed bumps on his neck (at the base of his skull). The Pedi. said this is due to the eczema. I have been trying to research the correlation but I am not coming up with anything. My question to you is what is the correlation? Doctor: Hi...eczema while irritating the skin will cause some irritation in the immune system and this is the reason for the bumps which you are noticing. Actually they are lymph nodes which are enlarged. Nothing to worry about. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
