My eight week old daughter has developed excema on her face.

It became infected so she was prescribed antibiotics and Hydromol ointment (containing paraffin). She was also prescribed Hydrcortisone cream (a mild steriod).

I used both creams as she was in immediate need of relief but would like to find some natural alternatives for her.

Does anyone know of anything that has worked for them?

eczema happens usually because of a allergy! and usually its a food allergy! I know my sons get it and they have ADHD. My one son I found out since I took him to a biomedical doctor that he has 12 major intolarences to foods.I had him go glutein/wheat free also all the things he was allergic to and his eczema went away! So if you breastfeed be careful with wheat 1st and then ween off other majors..see what works. If its a formula she takes could be soy just so you know its usually GMO formula...even tho doesn't state it.. best wishes

If you are looking to use a homeopathic remedy it is really important to remember that homeopathy should also treat the person as an individual. You can go to a whole foods store and they would probably have a remedy for skin conditions. It may or may not work. If it does not work it would be important to find a homeopathic doctor in the area who could address your daughters problem specifically and not in a general way.
