Abstract
In order to control allergic infantile eczema, as well as to diminish the chances of progression to asthma, search for specific excitants by means of hypoallergic diets, environmental control measures, and, at times, allergic skin testing is mandatory. The treatment of choice for pollen eczema is hyposensitization. The symptomatic treatment of allergic eczema is discussed. Since the etiology of seborrheic infantile eczema is unknown, but is not allergic, no specific search for excitants is indicated. The symptomatic treatment of seborrheic eczema is the most important consideration and is discussed. © 1958 The C. V. Mosby Company.
