Eczema Treatment Care

i just found out my 3month baby has eczema. The docter told me not to use dreft detergent or basically anything scented. for those who have infants with eczema what bath and body products do you use on your baby?

I unfortunatley was born with eczema, and during the winter months it acts up. Mostly on my face, which really bothers me because it itches and I use hydrocortisone before I use a moisturizer. I need to find something that works a little better, any recommendations?

Question by J.: What are the best products to treat eczema?
I currently use Oil Of Olay Shea Butter body wash, and then use Curel on my dryer areas after I shower.

I also use Cortaid or Dermarest for when I get especially dry patches.

This can all get pretty tedious at times, and I guess what I’m looking for is a body wash that moisturizes well enough that I would only need to use lotion minimally after I shower.

Also, any recommendations on how to fade out scars from areas where I scratched too hard and broke skin would be great, too. I currently use Palmer’s Cocoa Butter lotion, but it kind of leaves a greasy residue.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

I would suggest going to a dermatologist and asking for a Protopic prescription. It’s an ointment that I use whenever I start getting a break out and it goes away really quickly. Also, I would just use a bar of soap.. I know this can be hard when you’re used to body wash, but I just use Dial bar soap, then put curel everywhere when I get out of the shower. As long as you don’t use too strong of scented stuff on your skin.. you should be fine. As far as the scarring goes… I’m not too sure because I’ve never scarred. I would just really recommend the ointment- ITS AMAZING.

My daughter is 18 months old and has very bad eczema. Regular formula & cow’s milk only makes it worse so I put her on Soy formula. I read that soy products contribute to eczema also. What Kind of formula can I give her? She is a preemie baby so she need the extra nutrition in the formula because she is underweight. Suggestions?

I have a 3 year old Daughter who has Eczema, we go to the Dr. and he gives us all of these Sterio cremes and ointments and liquid med. I want to use a organic or all nature product that will cure it or aleast relief the symptoms. I know what foods she is alergic too. So I don’t give her those products or foods. The weather plays a big part too! So she don’t play in direct sun light and we half to be careful when she goes to the park or just our friends and family house. I am just looking for a health type of relief for her. If I keep using sterios on her skin, it will damage her skin and may give her cancer when she is older.
