Eczema Treatment Care

Question by tiredbutwiredlove: Anyone use baby sunscreen on infant dermatitis/eczema as a moisturizer?
Now that the weather is nice and sunny I have been taking my 3 month old outside. I put a little SPF 50 Waterbabies on her cheeks, arms, and legs and noticed that within 15 minutes her dermatitis was cleared up! Her skin felt so smooth again, like when she was born! Has anyone else had this kind of success with suncreen? What would be making it clear up? Does it act as a good moisturizer?

I have used sunscreen as a lotion before, and I have used hair conditioner on my eczema when I was younger…bur now I am kinda allergic to that conditioner…but I would use it till it doesn’t work anymore.

I’ve been using this Aveeno moisturizer with SPF 15 for almost 2 years now and I guess it’s perfect for my skin since I’ve never had any allergic reaction to it. But, I want to use a higher spf coz I want to protect my skin since I have some discoloration but my problem is, I am allergic to Spf. I know it doesn’t make sense right now but my dermatologist told me that the only sunscreen I can use is Presun from Rite Aid. I’ve had Contact Dermatitis before where I broke out due to the Lanolin Oil in lip cosmetics (one of the ingredients) and SPF. But for some reason, I’m not allergic to Aveeno with SPF 15 and I’m very afraid to use something with higher Spf coz I don’t want to have contact dermatitis again. I am using Bio-Oil to moisturize my skin and to help even out my skin tone but I need sunscreen, what should I get? You think I should stick with Aveeno but get the SPF 30 for more protection? or can I just go ahead and buy the Presun sunscreen with Spf 30 since I’m already using Bio-Oil for my moisturizer? Thanks in advance

I get really bed exzema and contact dermatitis every time I use sunscreen. Does anyone know of one that I can use and not get this painful rash on my face? I can’t skip sunscreen because I burn easily on my face which is just as bad. So please help!! I can’t just stay inside for the whole summer!
