Eczema Spread

Flu shot and eczema flare up?

Our 18 month old has never had eczema, or very dry skin. We had our flu shots Monday, by Wed, he has an eczema type rash all over his body and head. Not harsh, just dry looking. We've been using recommended lotions, etc, but curious if it could be due to the shot. He's not allergic to eggs either. The shot FAQ sheet says one side effect could be hives, but nothing about rashes either. This also didnt happen with last years flu shot. Also how quickly does eczema come on, or spread. This spread all over in a day.

Most people I know who had flu shots got the flu. I think the shot is not a good thing. They don't know a whole lot about side effects because they haven't tested it long enough; so rashes could do it. Eczema can spread all over in a day if the skin has enough allergens. Keep him away from soap products and fragranced products. Put Vaseline Creamy Formula on his skin to relieve it. Try Dermarest Psoriasis treatment on affected areas and/or give him an oatmeal bath to relieve it quick. I'm sorry he has to experience this.

Eczema DOES go away! Some people only have it in childhood and others in adulthood. It comes from an irritant. I am allergic to soap products and anti-bacterial products--which caused this. I was not always allergic to them, hence why I've had it for two years. Treat it with natural products. Steroids, etc ARE BAD and ADDICTIVE and can cause other problems, so stay away from prescriptions at all cost!
