I suggest treating it internally with all-natural Optiflora. This two-product system uses new technology to protect beneficial microflora during the rigors of shipping, storage, and the acidic journey through your stomach. Other products claim live microflora at the time of manufacture.
This system includes Probiotic (Bifidus & Acidophilus…microflora) + Prebiotic (FOS…food source for microflora. Patented guaranteed delivery of 500 million microflora to intestines.
A very successful topical product is Small Wonder Creamy Baby Oil. It’s more like a cream than an oil. It provides the same benefits and protection, but it’s faster absorbing and less greasy. It’s pH balanced and dermatologist tested for delicate skin, and contains soothing vitamin E and allantoin to help prevent dryness and irritation.
Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions or the website.

my son is 4 and was born w/ it. we use eledell and a steriod when it is bad, but when she gets out of the bath have her use coco butter all over, but especially in the area of the rash. my son gets it on his knees(front and back) and the crease of his arm. we use aveeno bath wash w/ the purple lid. she will be able to feel the dryness and the little raised area b4 it gets bad and during those times we use NaturalDerm Children’s Skin Rash Cream it is available at http://www.multistrength.com. it smells like vicks vapor rub, but is good at night. good luck and my dr did not say he would grow out of it and he is almost 5, but there is always hope. good luck! e-mail me if you like

As i am not a doctor to answer this, my good advice is consult a dermatologist. And also please write a e-mail to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, President of India, who is a ace scientist and he always have a panel of India’s great doctors as his personal physicians from Allopathy (Western medicine), Ayurveda, Siddha, Homoeopathy and Unani systems. He will definitely answer your query. But you should have faith in him. His site is http://www.presidentofindia.nic.in, he is a nuclear and rocket scientist but well versed in all subjects. He will surely help you out. Best of luck for you and your daughter. I will pray to my god Saibaba for her to recover.

Try Aveeno products. They don’t have any perfume and stuff like that in them. Keep the infected areas clean at all times.

Give her Aloe Vera Drinking Gel and Aloe Vera Propolis Creme.
The drink attacks eczema from the inside and the creme attacks it from the surface.
Avoid Aspartame! That stuff causes all sorts of skin and nuerological problems.

the cream that the doctor prescribes usually works. eczema normally occurs psychologically but i guess 8 is a young age to develop something due to a psychological reason. my sister had really bad eczema when she was around that age too but it goes away as the child grows older…

I’m 25 and have had it most of my life…
Suggestions…I’m sure they gave her some type of cortisone. The best I’ve had is called Lortisone, my peditrictian used to prescribe it to me and in about a day it would be much better.
Also, don’t bath in extremly hot water, it will irritate it more.
Eucerian is the best lotion to use though expensive.

any steroid topical cream like hydro cortizone prescribed from a doctor works great….my 18 month old was diagnosed with the same and this stuff works great……but it keeps coming back and I’m hesitant to use a steroid cream so often….(there have been studies that large amounts to children affect neural development) so there is a non-steroid cream I find works great….its made by Baby Naturals and its called Baby Eczema cream sold at any Walgreen’s……its greasy but it really works…….the good news is that if the onset of this condition is before puberty then there’s a pretty good chance that it will be gone post-puberty
