Eczema is an allergic condition so the best way is to investigate what is causing the flare up and either avoid or reduce contact. Culprits for flare ups include foods or diet, contact with something e. g soaps, oils, lotions cloth softeners, fabrics e. g synthetic or wool, dust mites, etc. If you can avoid medications the better. The other factor to consider is that babies with eczema have very dry skin, keeping the skin hydrated by using an oil that seals in moisture helps to skin to heal and stay unbroken. You can use sunflower oil mixed with pure glycerine or coconut with pure glycerine. Oil the baby 2-3 times a day
