Greetings
Drinking aloe vera juice is generally considered unsafe for a 1-year-old because it can lead to severe side effects like abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and potential electrolyte imbalances. While topical application of pure aloe gel may offer relief for eczema symptoms, there is no proven benefit to consuming the juice for skin conditions in infants

Hello! Usually Aloe Vera Juice is not recommended for children below 13 years due to its laxative and diarrhoea inducing effects. It can be given in small amounts. However if eczema is extensive it requires topical steroids and emollients and anti-itch medication if the itch is too much

Juice is not needed per se for eczema
Aloe vera cream which will provide moisturizing effect is good
