Baby eczema crusts do tend to develop in a good direction, usually appearing in acute eczema, if there is a secondary infection, the crusts are yellow, if there is no infection the crusts are usually dark brown. Acute eczema appears as vesicles and oozing, and this crust will appear after it has progressed in a good direction. The crusts can be treated with topical zinc oxide ointment borate, applied to a thickness of a dollar coin, kept for half an hour to allow the crusts to soften, and then gently wiped away with a cotton swab. Remember, you can’t swipe it off with force, you have to keep it gentle, swipe it off if you can, keep it off if you can’t. At the same time, you need to take oral antihistamines, such as dexloratadine dry suspension.
