Does your child have eczema but you’d like to take them swimming? Here are some useful tips.

QUESTION: Can my child with atopic dermatitis (eczema) swim in a chlorinated pool?
Answer: We think that it’s very important children with atopic dermatitis be allowed to participate in normal child activities, and certainly swimming is one of them.
Chlorine as a chemical can be drying and irritating to the skin of our children with atopic dermatitis.
So it’s important to remember that, after swimming, these children should take a bath or shower
and use a gentle cleanser to help remove the chemical. And this should then be followed by applying an appropriate moisturizer to the skin.
