    There are numerous types of eczema, what kind does the child have?

    Also note:

    Superficial inflammatory skin conditions commonly appear different in dark skin because of exaggeration of normal cutaneous reaction patterns.

    Dyspigmentation from skin inflammation or injury may result in permanent color changes. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management can modify adverse cosmetic outcomes from pigment changes.

    Several skin conditions are more common in children who have dark skin, and common disorders such as atopic dermatitis and pityriasis rosea may have different presentations.

    All patients who have dark skin should be counseled about the potential pigmentary changes that can occur with all classes of topical steroids. However, conditions that produce intense inflammation should be treated with appropriate-strength steroid to attempt to minimize long-lasting pigmentary changes.
