Proactive treatment of dry skin and eczema in newborns

Infants with dry skin or eczema are at a higher risk of developing food allergies and environmental allergies. The SEAL Study is investigating whether proactive treatment of dry skin and eczema can prevent later development of these conditions.

About the SEAL study

The SEAL Study will compare whether proactive skin care (applying creams to your child every day instead of waiting for skin problems to appear) is better than routine reactive skin care (waiting for eczema flares before applying standard treatments) in preventing and/or minimising eczema - also called atopic dermatitis (AD).


From previous studies, we know that infants with eczema are at a higher risk of developing food allergies. The goal of this research study is to see if a proactive approach to skin treatment in early infancy can reduce food allergies by reducing the amount and severity of eczema.
