Swimming with eczema

Hello! I'm keen to take my little girl swimming but I've been holding off as she has bad eczema on her body....has anyone taken their baby swimming with eczema? Does it make it flare? Thanks in advance!

My baby has eczema. It’s not on her body but it’s on her face and the back of her head. We go swimming once a week and I just ensure I keep her moisturised and it’s not caused any additional flare ups. We use epiderm cream and or oilatum. X

Thank u 💕 and helpful to know about the creams, we've been using aproderm without much success!

Dermatology actually recommend regular swimming with eczema to avoid infection - it works the same as a bleach bath x

I’ve been taking my lb swimming since he was 3 months old the old. He has Terrible eczema but I just make sure I rinse him off after and home for a proper bath, we use oilatum and epiderm cream twice a day too.

Amazing @Melissa thank u!

Thanks @Terri 💕
