My nephew has really bad eczema so my sister takes the hydrocortizone and doesn’t rub it into his skin she just lets it sit on his skin, she puts a lot on him too! It still looks white on his skin because it is not rubbed in and it makes it so he doesn’t itch, she also uses the free and clear detergent as well as washing him in hypoallergenic everything and this has really seemed to help it calm down.

Question by Heather: 2 year old daughter with dry skin (was told it’s “eczema”)??
She’s had it since she was a few months old. I used the infants Eczema cream/lotion and it was fine for a while. Now she’s 2, and its on the crease of her arms (not your elbow, but the opposite side of your arm) and on/around her ankles, patches on her legs and near her elbows. It’s not on her stomach/chest or back or face, just her legs and arms. She itches at it, so it “breaks” and “cracks” and the ones on her arms crack so bad, that they bleed a little. I’ve tried everything it seems. Even the doctor prescribed Hydrocortisone cream and she had a bad rash on the inside of her legs, near her diaper line, but its not from the diapers. I think its from her sweating and itching around these areas. The ladies that watch her at daycare don’t put on lotion or anything I give them (since they have her from 9 to 6 everyday), so What can I do for her ?? I’ve tried the “oatmeal baths” and a few different creams and lotions. I have NO IDEA what works the best. Any tips?!

We have this problem with our 5 year old, she gets it around her wrists, elbow creases and face. What we have found what works the best is immediately after a bath, we apply Aveeno lotion and cover it with Vaseline or diaper rash ointment, then cover that with clean, light colored fabric. We also discovered that switching to a laundry detergent without dyes and perfumes helped tremendously. And re-applying lotion several times a day helped out a lot. too.

EDIT- I would also try to stay away from scented soaps, lotions, wet wipes, creams….anything like that.

Question by Kim: Does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of eczema product to use for my daughter?
I have a three year old daughter that has eczema. I’ve tried almost every product you can name. Elidel, hyrdocortizone, freederm, you name it, we’ve tried it. Nothing seems to help. She no longer itches the way that she used to, but the rashes are still there and itch occassionally. I know there’s no cure, but I just need something that is going to give her some relief.
We have been to doctors and doctors and doctors. We are just wasting time and money. Every cream they given her doesn’t work. She has been diagnosed with eczema and I just looking for some other type of relief for her. That’s why I am on this site! Thank you very much!

my suggestion would be to see a dermatologist.. over the counter stuff, may not be enough.
Assisting in self-diagnosis is not the purpose of this website. People with chronic forms of dermatitis or skin inflammation should have these conditions diagnosed by a physician. There are numerous types of skin diseases with manifestations similar to eczema, but they may be caused by allergies, bacteria, fungus, virus, etc. and in many cases, once diagnosed correctly these conditions can be treated effectively. This website is for people who have been diagnosed with eczema and seek alternate forms of relief and control, with no side effects. SEE BELOW
