Eczema Treatment Care

Question by sweetestpeachesnGA: How do I control my baby’s eczema?
My 8 month old baby girl has moderate to sever eczema; her skin does okay most of the time because I keep it moisturized but sometimes her face breaks out really badly and it seems no matter what i do or what I use nothing soothes her. I know that almost anything can cause a flare up but I dont know what breaks her out so badly at certain times or how to soothe her, my mom says its our cat. What do you think?

what kind of soap do you use? my son has it too, there are prescription creams you can use but i dont like them because they have steroids, but i have used them temporarily if it gets really bad. switching her soap may be the easiest answer tho. dove is great but it will sting her eyes if she gets it in them. i use arbonne, its expensive and hard to find but since i have been using it it seems to be better. also aveno is pretty good.

Question by Preggo With #2: Why is my baby’s eczema causing yellowing of the skin?
My baby always gets an eczema rash in the same spot on her forehead. The doctor prescribes cortisone cream which I use and right now the rash is cleared up but the spot where the rash usually is is yellowish. Anyone else have this happen?

It’s oxidation of the cream you use. That happens.

My baby is 5 mths old and has severe eczema and it constantly itches. When it itches she scratches and that makes it worse. I have tried everything as well as Mimyx which is a prescription cream but nothing seems to work and it is not clearing up. I need to know what I can use to get rid of the itching and then maybe it will start to clear up. Serious answers only please.

Question by EDUARDO H: What can I use on my baby’s skin to reduce or eliminate eczema?
I would like to use a natural remedy. He is 16 months old and has really sensitive skin. He has been scratching alot and is starting to bleed. I apply baby aveeno soothing relief, but is not enough.

She has some eczema spots on her legs and a little on her hand. Also, is it beneficial to put the ointment on the finger with which she sucks? It’s also reddened from her sucking on it. I like the ointment (same one used for breastfeeding) because it is edible and it is natural.
