XZEMA - A Children's Guide to Happy Skin by Tracee Blackburn

About the Book

This is a fun educational story about a very common skin concern; Eczema. Follow Emma as she tries to “X” out “X-zema”. It is caused by inflammation in the skin, which can be caused by multiple factors; such as the environment, stress, and changes in skin barrier function. Atopic Dermatitis is one of the most common types of eczema and is most common in infants and young children.

Adolescents and adults also suffer from eczema as well. Please follow some of the guidelines that are outlined in the book to start the journey to healthy and happy skin.
