Eczema Peroxide
My babys skin?
My seven month old boy has very dry scaley rough red skin on his forehead, and cheeks. He also has this skin condition in his creases on his legs and arms. Once it got so irritated that it was oozing sticky stuff. Sometimes his face gets really clear though. The doc said it was eczema and to put hydrcortizone and benzoyl peroxide. To me this is too harsh for sensitive skin. Is there anything over the counter that I could buy that would really help clear this and help with the itching?
i know what you are going through first just let me say i commend you for doing all you can and getting more advice it hard when all moms trust the md you know with the joy of our hearts - so GOOD JOB MOM KEEP ON YOU ROCK That sounds lilke chemical burn(which oozes) and excema which i had experience with with my little babe Try eucrin, aquaphor or cerve it a new cream and has fatty acids missing that hold in moisture just plain vaseline(3-5x daily the first week and then less lol) - don't use any soap with purfume(aveeno only a dap in the water not on the towel) or dye just water until it heals on the face and creases - also try to bath less and pat dry don't rub and use half the amount of washing powder you use now in his cloths it with no softener.
if that dosen't work for you i would call a dermatologist or have your md try a steroid cream and make sure that you are consistant with putting the creams on untill the skin stops oozing also when it oozes use the perozide - it dries the puss and keep it from getting infected if the oozing is bad (my cousin had really bad ezcema his mom added pinch of oats to the bath water to dry out the sores and cracks)and then add theput it cream (in the box for a minute cool) it will make him feel so much better
Combine Benzoyl Peroxide And Adaplene For Quick Acne Treatment
Benzoyl Peroxide is one of the most commonly used acne treatment. Adaplene is a retinoid and comparatively a recent entrant for treatment of spots. It was found in a study that combining both and applying on acne gives much quicker results compared to the results of treatment with a single drug.
Before we discuss more let us find out about these two drugs.
Benzoyl Peroxide-
Benzoyl Peroxide is available in many forms such as soap bars, washing lotions, creams, gels, etc. Benzoyl Peroxide is available as both OTC (over the counter) and by prescription. Benzoyl Peroxide - removes excess oil, unclogs the closed pores, and kills the bacteria. By removing excess oil, Benzoyl Peroxide dries the skin. The drying quality is why some users find it irritating. If you have dry skin, use a moisturizer while using Benzoyl Peroxide. As the excess oil gets removed the possibility of new acne developing reduces. By unclogging the pores Benzoyl Peroxide opens the passage for oil and other matter inside to go out and clears the acne. By killing bacteria P.acnes Benzoyl Peroxide reduces infection and also inflammation.
Adaplene-
Adaplene is a retinoid, and a derivative of Vitamin A. Adaplene is mainly used to treat Acne. Adaplene multiplies the cell turnover of the skin, removes the skin oils, decreases inflammation and speeds up the healing of acne. It not only treats acne but also helps prevent new acne from forming.
Adaplene - Care While Using
Adaplene is available in liquid, gel or cream and should be applied to acne prone skin and acne affected skin. In the beginning you may find that your acne is getting worse. Keep using Adaplene and slowly the acne will clear. It takes about two to three months for acne to clear with Adaplene usage.
Adaplene should not be applied to skin affected with eczema. If your skin is sun burnt, broken or cut, do not use Adaplene until the skin heals. If you are using any other skincare product, inform your doctor. Many skin care products may irritate the skin if they are used along with Adaplene. For example, products that contain Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Sulphur, Salicylic Acid, Resorcinol and Alcohol should to be avoided if you are using Adaplene. You should also look at the label of the cosmetics you use as they may contain an ingredient that may cause irritation if used with Adaplene.
Combination- Ask your doctor if you should combine both and use to treat acne. If a combination is not available you can buy both the products and use them one after another on the skin and mix properly. You will get results much quicker and will be free of Acne soon.
