TreatingSkinEczema.com – Today I am little concerned at what I am hearing pediatricians tell parents to do for their kids that suffer with eczema. On the blogs, parents are being told to bathe their kids in a bleach bath two to three times a day. I am disgusted at that and not to mention, it is highly unsafe. If parents knew the precautions of bleach, they would think twice. Let me see if you agree. Bleach is a pesticide. Each year over 1 million children are accidentally poisoned in the home. According to the Material Safety Data Sheet and National Poison Control Center, bleach can cause severe eye injuries and can damage the mouth, throat and stomach. When mixed with other fumes it can be deadly. Vapors have been shown to interfere with brain function and aggravate heart conditions and produce asthma.

Answer by Marie my son has eczema. I wrote this about our experience with it on another website: (maybe you can get some ideas to help your situation:
Our nightmare with Eczema…. some tips for other parents We’ve been dealing with Eczema since December and have seen a dermatologist for it at least 7 times This is what we’ve done- * changed all his clothes to 100% (soft) cotton washed in Tide FREE. Carters sells onesies that are great. * We wear 100% cotton washed in Tide free when we handle him. .. tshirts should not have writing on front that is not dyed into the cotton. * IF someone else handles him, they MUST use a barrier such as a swaddle washed in tide free (100% cotton too). They can’t touch his face. * We wash him in Cetaphil lotion or Aquaphor lotion in lukewarm water. Blot dry (not rub) and put lotion all over him IMMEDIATELY. Washing him nightly has helped a lot more than doing it every other night. * All of the soap in our house (for us to use) is Dove sensitive (fragrance/dye free) * He cannot be near makeup, hairspray, cologne, perfume, frangrant hand lotions (goodbye Bath and Body works), dishwasher soap (some intelligent men think that’s hand soap) etc. * We clean the house more. * I switched the kitty litter to a dust free one. * mitts on his hands at night so he can’t scratch (although the rubbing still makes bumps appear). * Use a cold humidifier at night * Don’t use dryer sheets on any of our clothes or his. * He can play with plastic or cotton toys only- MOST soft toys are polyester- we put them away. * If he plays on the floor, we put down cotton tide free washed blankets for him to be on. We also cover his vibrating/rocking seat with that. * As far as lotions- we currently use: – Aquaphor (scalp and forehead) it’s very thick – Vanicream (on his body) – the lotion in the tub – Cerave pump cream (head) – Cetaphil (tub) – (face) -Atopiclair – face on eczema spots (this is good stuff) – Aclovate on ecemza (we dab this on when needed because it’s a steriod cream- but it works like a charm. Oatmeal creams and baths do not work for our son and the doctor said some babies are actually allergic to it. We have also tried these but they did not work: – Aveeno Eczema care – Mometasone Furate Cream .1% (steroid) – Gentle naturals Eczema Cream (has disney pic. on it) – Mimyx (which cost over 0 and didn’t work at ALL!!!!!) We were also told to give him Benadryl at night which didn’t work and also Hydroxyzine syrup (prescription) which also didn’t work. I don’t like the idea of giving him something to make him drousy so he’ll stop itching. For us, his ezcema has definitely been more under control with the changes we have made. We’ve noticed flares when other people handle him who most likely are not following our strict rules- so now we are even more strict about it. One question we had was “is he allergic to our cats?!” (God forbid)…but because the eczema disappeared from his body once we switched to cotton washed in Tide Free- it was the clearance that the cats were not the cause. The doctor said he would have had the rash continue all over if that were the case. Hope this helps with anyone whose child also suffers from Eczema.
So I was diagnosed with scabies yesterday and a couple weeks before this I was diagnosed with dermatitis and I don’t know which is correct? I got the cream and put it on last night and washed my clothes and bedding but I don’t think I have scabies because I haven’t been in close contact with anyone except my bf and he doesn’t have scabies. I read that it can only be contagious through prolonged skin to skin contact and I want to know if that’s true. I am scratching a lot but it’s not keeping me up at night. The doctor who diagnosed me with it did no testing and just said that’s what I had in like one second of looking at it and not even looking at it closely so I am having doubts that I have it. I am currently living with my parents and now they are worried about getting it but I think they would’ve had it by now and I just don’t know how I got it in the first place?? If you can help me that would be great! Thanks!
