Baby Eczema Eyes
Eczema around eyes.. please help!?
My dermatologist gave me some free samples of "CeraVe hydrating cleanser" and "CeraVe moisturizing cream" to wash with and then use afterwards, but it's not helping. The cream actually burns a little bit, I wonder is that a bad thing?
She had prescribed me Verdeso foam to use on my eczema on my arms, so I've been using that around my eyes to see if it helps, but it doesn't seem to be helping either.
I can't get in to see her for another couple months. The skin is really really dry and flaking and crackling and itchy and red. Is "Elidel" over-the-counter? Any other ideas that may help?? I've heard:
-colloidal oatmeal lotion
-pure vitamin E oil 35,000 I. U.
and
-Johnson's & Johnson's baby soap for eczema
Any ideas on these things? Any other ideas? Please help! It's ugly, painful and annoying!
I have sebborheic dermatitis and even though I can find nothing about it my doctor knew that it was caused by spices, beer, wine, caffeine and chocolate. Mine has started on my eyes now and it is torture! But if I avoid all those things...it goes completely away.
To help in the meantime: make some chamomile tea, let it cool and then gently wash your eyes with it. That is the only thing I was able to tolerate when mine flames up. Then I had to find an all natural creme without perfume to soothe and moisturize. I use Joli Creme from HolisticBodyTherapy.Net.
I don't know why I can't find anything about this, but try it for a week and see if you improve. Good luck!
Top 3 Breast Milk Cures for Babies
Breast milk isn't just for babies to drink; it can cure a number of childhood ailments, too. Not only does breast milk have the perfect balance of nutrients for your growing baby, it also contains antibacterial properties that can heal. The truth is that breast milk is simply amazing!
Breast milk has a special enzyme that prevents bacteria from attaching or living on certain membranes in the body. So what can breast milk be used for? Many things, however, in that this is not a medical opinion, you need to exercise your best judgment and consult with your pediatrician to be sure there is not a more serious health concern. Here are the top four uses for breast milk:
1. Pink Eye. Pink eye is another name for conjunctivitis, a bacterial infection of the membrane surrounding the eye. The property of breast milk that prevents bacteria from attaching to body membranes works especially well for the eye. Just a couple of drops in each eye twice a day can clear up pink eye in a matter of days.
When used on adults, the results are the same. Adults will note that there is an initial cold sensation that subsides quickly - it is actually very soothing. Additionally, vision is blurred for a few minutes and then clears up.
2. Nasal Congestion. Breast milk can be used as a decongestant. Apply by placing a few drops in the nose and holding it there for 10 seconds. The congestion is likely to subside and breathing will be easier.
3. Earache. Again, when a bacteria is involved with the outer and middle ear canal, breast milk can help by preventing it from living on the membranes therein. A couple of drops directly into the infected ear can help resolve some infections. Of course, ear infections may also reside in the inner ear, where drops cannot penetrate, so you should always consult your pediatrician.
4. Eczema, Skin Rashes and Diaper Rash. Again, the antibacterial properties of breast milk can help with these common infant ailments. Breast milk is sterile and can be used to clean the baby's skin. Since breast milk is natural and contains no harsh chemicals that may irritate the baby's skin. Let a thin layer of breast milk dry on the skin. It will serve as somewhat of an antibacterial shield. The eczema, skin rash or diaper rash will be relieved within hours or a day or two.
5. Insect bites. Breast milk applied to an insect bite will help it heal and reduce itching. Quick relief for baby that is all natural.
These remedies are useful for times when you cannot get to a physician right away, like in the evening or on a Sunday, for example. And sometimes the problem will clear up quickly. Additionally, these breast milk remedies can be a helpful compliment to prescribed medications to bring comfort quickly.
