Leading pediatric eczema care

Pediatric Eczema Care at National Jewish Health

Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin disease. It causes intense itching, with red or dry skin, and usually starts in childhood. That’s why you often hear it called “baby eczema” or “pediatric eczema.”

In Denver, Colorado, and around the country, National Jewish Health is the leader in caring for childhood eczema. The National Jewish Health for Kids pediatric eczema team brings together physicians, nurses, dietitians, psychiatrists and psychologists. These experts work together to create an individualized treatment plan for your child and often succeed where others have not.

• Diagnostics not available anywhere else

• In-depth, one-on-one teaching, including training in self-care
• Continued follow-up to treat your child’s changing needs
