Explanation:

Atopic dermatitis (eczema):

It is defined as a condition that results in the inflammation, redness and itchiness of the skin.  It is a chronic condition and usually children suffer from it. It is recommended to keep your skin moisturized by using the creams or ointments prescribed by the doctor.

In our case, the nurse has given the instruction to parents to apply the emollient immediately after the bath to avoid the dryness of skin otherwise it can cause the itchiness of the skin. Similarly mild soap also keep your skin soft and fresh as the ingredients like Aloe Vera, olive oil etc. The trimmed nails prevent you to make rashes on your skin because you can make new rashes on skin in the case of itching.
