Eccema

Nombres alternativos:

Dermatitis atópica; Eccema infantil

Prevención:

Los estudios han demostrado que los niños que se alimentan con leche materna tienen menos probabilidad de desarrollar eccema. Esto también es válido cuando la madre lactante no ha consumido leche de vaca en su dieta. Otras restricciones en la dieta también pueden incluir los huevos, el pescado, el maní y la soya (soja).

Esta afección tiende a darse en familias. El control del estrés , del nerviosismo, de la ansiedad y de la depresión puede ser beneficioso en algunos casos.
