The types of infantile eczema can be divided into several categories.
Infant eczema can be divided into three types based on skin lesions. 1. Seborrheic type, commonly seen in infants aged one to three months, often on the forehead, cheeks, and between the eyebrows. The skin appears reddened and covered with yellow, greasy scales, with possibly thicker yellow serous crusts at the top. 2. Exudative type, often found in chubby infants aged three to six months, typically presenting symmetrically with small, millet-grain-sized red papules on the cheeks, accompanied by small vesicles and erythema. There can be patchy erosion with exudate, and thick yellow serous crusts. If not treated promptly, it can easily lead to secondary infections. 3. Dry type, more common in children aged six months to one year, characterized by papules, redness, hard bran-like scales, and crusts without exudation, also known as dry eczema.
