Nummular eczema infant is a type of nummular eczema that usually is present on children as it manifests itself by 
inflammations that will eventually cause extreme itch. The term “nummular” is a Latin word which means a small coin which is describes what the shape of its patches is. These patches are severely itchy and it will really make a kid scratch it making the infection to worsen. Although there are some times when the symptoms are not evident there will be some outbreaks where symptoms will suddenly appear. You should not take this lightly because the patches will not only be dry but it will also manifest a very unbearable itch.
Although it is a normal thing that children will just out grow eczema but there are some cases that they will suffer the disease for the rest of their lives and you should not let this situation to happen at any cost.
Pin pointing the definite cause of nummular eczema is not possible. But there have been studies that showed 75% of the children who suffer this kind of skin disorder have other kinds of allergies as well which will make sense if we say that their eczema was just an allergic reaction. Children with eczema usually have hay fever, asthma, and other kinds of allergy related sickness.
