Yes, eczema can occur in babies as young as 4 months old. The main treatment for eczema is to keep the skin well hydrated with a moisturizing cream like Aveeno or Glaxal Base, applied at least 2 to 3 times a day. After bathing, it's important to gently pat the skin dry instead of rubbing it, and then apply the moisturizing cream. In more severe cases, a low-potency hydrocortisone cream may be recommended by a pharmacist. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask for more help.
