Eczema Treatment For Infants
Best treatment for eczema in infant?
My 5 month old was diagnosed with eczema at 4 months, he had it long before and I suspected that it was eczema because his rashes look just like mine and that's what I have. I started using aveeno unscented baby products on him and they don't really work, but they dont further irritate his skin the way other products do. His doctor suggested that we use a hydrocortizone cream and eucerin baby aquaphor, i've been using them for a month but his rashes only seem to get worse and spread.
MariVi, what kind of Eucerin is it that you use. I've been using Eucerin Aquaphor but I know that there are many different types.
my son had a severe outbreak of eczema when he first started showing signs of having it...it was a complete bummer!! his doctor told us the same thing...the hydrocortizone and aquaphor. We also gave him fewer baths and switched out laundry detergent to a free and clear hypoallergenic. right when he is out of the bath I slather on eucerin calming cream lotion and then the aquaphor on the trouble spots. the doc also considered that it might be due to a milk allergy so we switched his fomula to a soy based formula...i supplement breast feeding with formula but you didn't mention which method you use...you might look into that aspect as well...obviously nursing is the best method but they can pick up the allergy from dairy products you might eat too..everything has cleared up really well for our son except for one spot on his chest that we finally took him to a dermatologist at childrens hospital to treat...they prescribed a steroid anitbiotic that has made the spot finally disappear after the several months he's been bothered by it.... eczema sucks!!! but hopefully you can get it cleared up! good luck!!
