Eczema really needs to be monitored by a dermatologist. You should be drinking lots of water and keeping your face very clean and very moisturized. Try Aveeno products. They have a line especially for Eczema. Good luck.

He is fine during the day, but seems to be alot worse at night. He is almost 6 months old and we have been treating this with hyrocortisone and Eucerine lotions. But have not had alot of success for nighttime treatment. It is causing him to wake up alot.

I used Elidel on my son when he was little. It helped clear the condition up. But you shouldn’t use it on a regular basis, as it still contains a low dose of steroids. I heard that zinc-based lotions work really well too. There are some natural creams you can get at your local health store that work well too. As for the waking up… sprinkle some lavender oil in a humidifier and run in for an hour or two in the middle of the night. Eucalyptus oil works well too.

when someone has eczema, is it always due to an allergic reaction of some sort? examples: detergents, foods that sort of thing.

Our daughter gets round patches of eczema (looks kind of like ringworm, but the doctor says it is not) in various places on her body – from elbows to her backside. They are fairly responsive to over-the-counter hydrocortisone treatment plus lotion. I’m just curious if this is something she’ll outgrow or it predicts future eczema issues. I was going to ask the doctor, but my daughter was screaming and crying at the time. Oh, our daughter is almost 8 months old. Thanks!
