I might be able to help you.. Have you ever tried Evening Primrose Oil? It comes in a gel tablet form and if you take 1,000mg three times a day you will probably see a huge improvement in your skin.

Question by neen: Help! Need something to clear up infant eczema!?!?
My 6 month old started with a rash about a week ago. At first since it was in creases an on his forehead I just assumed it was a bit of prickly heat. After trying cornstarch powder and noticing the rash sprreading we went to the Dr. I am taking him today for blood allergy test. I am looking for something that can clear up the rash, today it still seemed to be spreading. The Dr gave me the option of a few creams which I have started Cetaphil and it does not seem to be doing anything. I want something that I can see a change for the better!

Eucerin/Aquaphor It works wonders!! The cream not the lotion. I used it on my son when he was an infant…he is 3yrs old now and I still use it.

I also use Avenno Oatmeal bath for infants it helps stop the itch.
Also Gentle Naturals Baby Eczema Cream, their products are good too.

Put toothepaste on ur face, it helps, then you wont look like a nasty boiled beetroot on your wedding day. Failing that, wear a veil. And dont worry, it’s your wedding day, no matter how awful you look, everyone will tell you that you’re beautiful. Just remember this…. they’re probably lying.

Have a great day!

His breastfed, can it be my diet?What can i do that will stop his itchness?

Answer by ygwild
If it’s really bad I’d stick to the sigmacort cream. Dermaveen didn’t work very well with me and it stinks. Use the sigmacort cream repeatedly for a 2-3 days and apply it regularly and then take a day off before reapplying again
When giving a bath use no soap products.
Unfortunately there’s no cure with eczema they flare up now and then and is worse during winter.
I have eczema and I was told it’s either eczema or asthma. And my kids had eczema but they’re much better now compared to when they were born. Just be careful they don’t scratch or make it worse or it’ll scar
