The development of milk eczema (infantile eczema) is somewhat related to genetics. Additionally, individuals with an allergic constitution may develop milk eczema when inadvertently exposed to animal fur or certain chemical substances. When suffering from milk eczema, it is important to first maintain proper skin care by keeping the skin clean and hygienic. At the same time, treatment should be conducted under a doctor's guidance, such as applying medications like vitamin E ointment.
