How to Prevent Eczema

- Breastfeeding
- Exposing your child to pets at an early age
- Having your child eat fish at an early age (before nine months)
As the understanding of the condition grows, your doctor may have more information regarding steps for reducing your risk of eczema.
If you have eczema, you may be able to control the onset of an eczema outbreak by controlling certain triggers. For tips on controlling outbreaks, see Lifestyle Treatments for Managing Eczema.
