My 2 month old son has red bumps on his cheeks and some on his chest. I’ve come to conclusion that it must be Atopic Dermatitis (Atopic Eczema). What did you use to treat this? What is effective with no irritants. Also, is it possible that his formula could cause this? He is currently drinking Similac Organic.

I had eczema and i was prescribed a steroid cream but it seems to make things worse. The best thing i have found is Eucerin unscented lotion. It’s thick and creamy and doesn’t have any additives in it that irritate the skin.

babies with eczema can be allergic to lactose in milk, soy is a calmer better option, sorbolene cream to use as a moisturiser, if really bad rash cortisone creams may be needed by prescription from a doctor.

It is most likely the formula causing it! the cheeks, chest, and neck are common places for formula to get to! My niece has the same thing and she is on parents choice organic! just keep those ares clean with a wash cloth and see if it goes away after a week. if it doesn’t than talk to your doc and they will perscribe a steroid cream

One of my grandchildren uses an oil from this health site- she is very very improved, at one point of time we couldnt even touch her on the cheek.
I asked my daughter and this is the correct spelling of site KATURI

The condition can usually be managed by applying a moisturizing cream after bath. If it is severe mild local steroid may have to be used for a short time.
