Unisex Child Shirt Round Neck Short Sleeves - Age: 3-4 years (110 cm)

DermaSilk Unisex Child Round Neck Short Sleeve Shirt — Eczema & Sensitive Skin

Medical-grade silk clothing for children with eczema, atopic dermatitis, and allergic skin conditions

The DermaSilk Unisex Child Round Neck Short Sleeve Shirt is a clinically tested therapeutic garment designed to help manage eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and other allergic skin conditions in children. Made from specially treated medical-grade silk, it works directly on the skin to maintain moisture balance, reduce itching, and support the skin's natural healing process — day and night.

Why Dermasilk for Children with Skin Conditions?

Children with eczema are often caught in a cycle of itching and scratching that worsens the skin barrier and interrupts sleep. Standard fabrics — including conventional cotton — can trap heat, cause friction, or fail to support moisture regulation. DermaSilk is different. It's engineered specifically for sensitive and compromised skin, acting as a breathable second skin that soothes rather than irritates.

In a clinical trial, 83% of children with atopic dermatitis who wore DermaSilk showed measurable improvement in their condition.

Key Features

• Medical-grade silk construction — knitted from OKEO-TEX certified silk that has been degummed (outer sericin coating removed) to eliminate the proteins most likely to trigger skin reactions
• AEM 5772.5 Microbe Shield technology — an antimicrobial treatment bonded into the fabric that inhibits bacterial and fungal growth, the same technology used in hospital operating theatre gowns for over 30 years. No chemicals or nanoparticles are released onto the skin.
• Moisture-balancing fabric — retains up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling damp, keeping the skin hydrated and reducing dryness-driven itch
• Breathable construction — promotes airflow and temperature regulation to support faster healing
• External seams — seams are positioned on the outside of the garment to eliminate chafing and friction on inflamed or broken skin
• Soft, flat-knit finish — lightweight and comfortable against even the most reactive skin
• Unisex design — suitable for boys and girls

How it helps

The short sleeve round neck design provides targeted coverage for the torso and upper arms — common areas for eczema flare-ups in children. Worn directly against the skin, the shirt helps:

• Reduce scratching by creating a smooth, non-irritating barrier
• Maintain skin hydration through moisture retention
• Support topical treatment effectiveness when worn over emollients or prescribed creams (wet wrapping compatible)
• Improve sleep comfort by regulating body temperature and minimising night-time irritation

Refer to the size chart images above. When between sizes, size up for more comfortable coverage.

Washing and Care

To preserve the antimicrobial properties and softness of DermaSilk:

• Hand wash with a non-biological (enzyme-free), fragrance-free detergent suitable for sensitive skin
• Rinse thoroughly and air dry — do not tumble dry
• Every 10 washes, soak overnight in a solution of 2 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda per litre of water, then wash as above — this helps maintain fabric softness and extends garment life

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DermaSilk made from? DermaSilk is made from medical-grade knitted silk that has been degummed to remove the sericin protein — the component most likely to cause reactions in people with silk sensitivity. It is then treated with AEM 5772.5 Microbe Shield, an antimicrobial agent that inhibits bacteria and fungi without releasing chemicals onto the skin.

Is DermaSilk safe for children with very sensitive or broken skin? Yes. DermaSilk is specifically designed for use on compromised skin, including skin affected by eczema flare-ups, and has been used in clinical settings. The antimicrobial treatment is bonded into the fabric — it does not leach or transfer to the skin.

Can DermaSilk be used as part of wet wrap therapy? Yes. The shirt can be worn as part of a wet wrap protocol — apply emollients or prescribed topical treatments to the skin, then layer the damp DermaSilk garment over the top. Always follow the guidance of your dermatologist or paediatrician.

Is this the same as regular silk clothing? No. Standard silk clothing is not suitable for eczema management and can actually worsen symptoms by reducing skin transpiration. DermaSilk uses a specialised knitted construction and antimicrobial treatment that make it clinically appropriate for atopic skin.

How often should DermaSilk be washed? Wash after each wear to maintain hygiene and antimicrobial effectiveness. Follow the care instructions above to maximise the garment's lifespan.

What is the difference between the short sleeve and long sleeve version? The short sleeve shirt provides coverage for the torso and upper arms. The long sleeve version extends coverage to the wrists, making it better suited for children with eczema affecting the forearms or for cooler months. Both can be combined with DermaSilk leggings or pyjama bottoms for full-body coverage.
