Constitutional eczema in children is common. It itches and has a negative impact on quality of life. Although there are good treatments, in practice many children appear to be undertreated. Possible causes of this are: insufficient knowledge about background and treatment and insufficient cooperation between care providers. In addition, many parents are unjustly afraid of the adverse effects of hormone ointments. Some caregivers are just as afraid of hormone ointments as parents. A comment from one of them can damage the confidence of parents in the effectiveness and safety of these ointments.In our opinion, children with eczema deserve better. That is why we propose to organize regional care, education and cooperation for children with eczema. Not only general practitioners and dermatologists should participate; pharmacists and pharmacy assistants, youth health care physicians and nurses and paediatricians should also join. Information material must be uniform.
