Eczema Treatment Care

Question by melanie a: My 3 month old baby has eczema on his eyebrows?
I am using baby Aveeno and baby laundry soap and have heard that cortisone cream can take the pigment out of their skin so I would like to avoid using it on his face. Any ideas of what I can do for him to take he itch away?

I have eczema on my arms and legs, and they told me to use the Aveeno lotion as well,i guess ebcause it’s thicker. So i’m not sure if putting anything on his face would help because it might irritate it more. Also, as soon as you give him a bath dont dry his face completely and apply the lotion then because it absorbs better.

I am 22, a female, living in Europe. I have had eczema when I was a baby, it went away after 5 years. About two years ago I was sick and had treatment which I believe has triggered the eczema again. It’s been two years now that the treatment is over but I still have eczema. I tried moving accommodation, changing work place. I avoid eating nuts, sweets, sweet drinks, and anything spicy. It is true that I drink alcohol sometimes but it is only beer and I smoke (but my doctor said that it does not have such a major effect on eczema). I try not to stress, and use minimum medications such as steroids or corticoid creams.
Please help, I suffer most from eczema on my face, physically and mentally. My face is all red and blotchy. My eyebrows are falling out even though I try not to scratch them. I am often depressed and do not know what else to try to alleviate the symptoms or cure eczema.
Thank you very much in advance for your answer, A.

Gesundheit hat ein Zuhause – Praevention

I have been told by My Dr that something I have been in contact with has produced this horrible rash. I have wracked my brains as to what I have been in contact with! Dr has given me Canesten Hydrocortisone which just made it irritate, then Daktacort ointment which didn’t work, still irritates like hell. I am using Oilatum Emollient cream and wash He did say it could be coming from within meaning a virus in my body. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this the itching is driving me mad and I look like i’ve been in a fight, its also at the sides of my nose at the very top. Any ideas please.
