The only change has been introducing her to more foods. So now we are logging everything she eats even if its just a bite of our food. We were talking with her Dr the other day and had said what a lot of you moms have said, that eczema can be triggered by diet, and with us trying to expose her to new foods we may have inadvertently triggered this skin condition which she may have really had all along. I feel bad but I am secretly hoping a food triggers it because then it will be easy to just eliminate that from her diet, and all of ours if need be.

My son is 2 and he has eczema...some of his skin problems were due to his food allergies that he was diagnosed with when he was 8 months old. His allergist advised me to bathe him in lukewarm, not too warm, water, try to have him dried & cream applied & dressed within 2 minutes of getting him out of the tub. Also pat her dry, don't rub, and don't bathe her too much. I bathe my son every other day. You should use creams instead of lotions, as lotions are water based & water dries your skin out more...I use Vaseline Intensive Moisture Cream on my son. He's also on Allegra (for allergies), and Atarax (for his skin, to keep him from itching). You may want to check into allergies...Good luck!

we tried so many lotions and potions and followed different advice for our little girl. The only one that helped was doublebase, she needed hydrocortisone twice but that is best avoided as much as poss. To be honest we have found the only thing that has properly worked is to only bath her 2-3 times a week. in the beginning we thought we were doing good bathin her most days using the prescribed products....but that did not work in our experience. Now she is 20 months old, suffered eczema since she was little, and her skin is the best it has been. We only put cream on if her skin is bad, i think that somehow allows her skin to breathe.....somehow all the lotions that we were doing to help, seemed to make her worse!!!!

My 4yr old had the same diagnosis when she was one only her`s was almost everywhere! We tried various treatments so don`t feel disheartened if what the doctor prescribes doesn`t work as i was constantly there with my daughter! she used to scratch so bad she would get infected at least once a month and get antibiotics so eventually she was referred to see a dermatologist who gave her a non steroid cream which she responded to! The hydramol worked great for her as did a really nice cream called Doublebase and keep baths to a minimum and my daughter also got little body suits and leggings to wear at night to prevent scratching! keep taking her back if her treatment doesn`t work and now at 4yrs my daughter still gets flare ups but not as bad as she used to!

Good luck

I know how you feel. Both of my children suffer from it. I use a baby product called baby eczema cream and baby eczema bath and shampoo. The containers are green with baby winnie the pooh characters on it. the bath/shampoo you put directly in the bath water and also use it to wash with and when they get out of the tub rub some of the cream on. Aveeno also has oatmeal bath powder that you mix into the bath water and let them soak in. Be careful when you use the hydrocortizone cream and use just enough to cover the patches. It thins out skin if overused. Another thing I do is wash their clothes with Dreft laundry detergent.

my 3 yo has been dealing with this since birth i have actully taken her to the allergist and my dermatoligist they both have told me to use a non soap or soap free wash for body and hair and aveno does make this in one of the baby products also you can find it in some adult products just read the back and look for soap free or non soap since i switche her to these i havent had a break out except if i allow her to use the soap in a rest room if u would like a lotion auqaphor is good but thick and theres a baby eczeza cream i think its natures best sold at walmart with pooh on it that works well too those will keep the moisture in if you have any questions feel free to contact me and ill help you as much as i can i know how hard it is

I always say prevention is better than a cure! Is there anything new she's started eating or environmental changes such as weed sprays in your garden? Sometimes the body can be exposed to something its allergic to for a while before symptoms start showing and sometimes symptoms appear within that week. My friends little boy gets eczema when he drinks/eats diary. She changed him to Soy milk and his skin completely cleared up. Unfortunately I am allergic to 'Roundup' which is a weed spray. All my neighbours spray it all the time so I can't do anything about mine, we can't move to a high apartment away from sprays because I have a dog. I hope you can find out what causes your daughters skin problem so you can fix it otherwise you will probably have to keep using hydrocortizone cream every week like I do. Other things people can get eczema from are egg, gluten, sprays from non-organic foods. She can get allergy tested at pathlab through your GP or get a full allergy test done in Auckland worth $400.00. The problem is most likely coming from the inside of the body from something going inside it. Hope my advice helps. I've suffered eczema myself most my life. It only goes away when I'm high up in apartments away from weed sprays. Apparently vaccinations can also cause eczema. The last 6 months my daughter and I have changed to a natural, raw organic vegan diet. This has improved my eczema and healed many other health problems we used to suffer which I thought were normal.

My son was just diagnosed as well after being told it was Roselia (sp?) 5 weeks ago and it would go away on it's own. Well, it didn't and his whole body went really scaly. They gave him a hydrocortizone oil called eczema oil and after just one application his skin is soft and happy again! I hope he grows out of it =)

Jenna - posted on 01/20/2011

My son (1 year next month) has had it almost all of his life, an lot of his flares had to do with food allergys. Dove soap works great and a few weeks ago i started using aveno eczema cream and it has worked wonders his skin is actuly soft for the first time.

ASHLEY - posted on 01/20/2011

My whole family has eczema including me it sucks. Try to buy soap and laundry detergent for sensitive skin and always moisturize after a bath or diaper change. My son gets it bad on the back of his thighs so I lotion him every diaper change to keep it under control thank god we live in florida where its usually very humid I cant imagine how bad it could get otherwise. I like the oatmeal vanilla johnsons & johnsons baby wash and lotion thats what we are using right now. My son also has a prescription but was told to use it only when it gets severe. Ive found that the expensive aveeno lotion especially for eczema doesnt seem to work any better than the vanilla oatmeal kind ive been buying. Hydrocotisone helps but only if you keep putting it on constantly. It seems as soon as I go one day not using it my eczema flares up again and I dont think you are supposed to use it 24/7 especially on a lil one.You can try eucerin cream in a jar it is expensive but works although I dont like the way it feels on my skin. I think keeping them moisturized with what ever sensitive skin lotion you like works best once you get rid of the rash continue the same routine to keep it from returning thats really all you can do.

Jennifer - posted on 01/20/2011

I don't know if I believe that eczema could appear so quickly and all of a sudden like that. It sounds to me more like chapped skin or an allergic reaction. But that's just my opinion. My son has eczema and has since he was a baby. He's really sensitive to soaps and detergents so we use Little Twig Baby Soap and Lotion. It's organic and super gentle. We also use a lotion on him called Europian Magic. Amazing stuff! It contains propolis, which is a by-product from bees when they make honey, sounds weird, I know, but I swear the stuff is good for any skin problems! I hope your daughter's skin troubles go away and it isn't eczema. If it is, you and she will be fighting to keep it under control her whole life! :( Good luck!!

Angie - posted on 01/20/2011

I have had eczema my whole life and it sucks! My 8 month old has it too, unfortunately. Ok I know this sounds gross but I have read that rubbing breastmilk on the spots will help clear it up. I cannot attest to that because I never tried that myself. LOL Some other things I have found to help is to only bathe every other day or every 2 days if you can get away with it. Also, that oatmeal bath makes my eczema worse. Aveeno creams seem to be ok on my son. They have a line of baby lotion with a dark blue cap which is thicker and seems a little better than the regular aveeno baby lotion. My cousin recommended California baby brand products but I haven't tried them yet as they are kinda expensive but here's the link
http://www.californiababy.com/
My cousin totally raves about their products. Try to avoid your baby sweating (dress in cool cotton clothing), make baths as quick as possible and lukewarm. Hydrocortisone works but only temporarily. It's better to try to prevent the eczema by finding triggers instead of using steroids.

Hi! My son's face started getting really bad when he was just 3 months old. His face looked like it had been burned. I obviously freaked and took him to his pediatrician who prescribed him with a steroid cream!!! Yes, a steroid cream. She said it was simply caused by hormones. The cream made his face worst!!! So much worst! I ended up taking him to the ER where they diagnosed him with Eczema. The doctor also spoke about the showers and the hydrocortizone creams and all that. The only thing that helped dramatically was Aquaphor. It's a cream that's about $6 dollars. It's like a vaseline. I put it on him and the next day his face was practically clear. My boy is now 3 years old and whenever it's cold or too hot his skin starts acting up and he gets patches. I put the cream and it gets better almost instantly. =0)

Carla - posted on 01/20/2011

My daughter has eczema and the her doctor left out some very important information. He gave her a cream with hormones in it.. I never even thought anything of it and I just thought if the doctor gave it to her then she must need it. However I ended up changing her Dr. (because we moved) and he was very up set that my daughter had that cream. He said that because the Eczema is on her face he shoul dhav never gave it to her. He said that eczema on the face needs to have a cream without hormones because it can lead to fading of the skin. He needed up giving her a new type of cream and it eve works so much better! But I would have not known if I had not chnaged her doctor. So please, just make sure its is the type needed for her face and not just any cream used for eczema. Its so much different to have it on your face and it should be handled different.

My son ( now 17 months) has been battling eczema since he was 3 months old ... I've heard many different things from several different doctors and have tried them all ... personally try using either dove or aveeno unsented bar soap to bath her ... I normally just to a quick back, I've been told to soak for 20 mins but didn't see where it did anything , after the bath pat dry then use petroleum jelly and rub all over ... hope this helps!

Kerrie - posted on 01/19/2011

I was born with excema myself. 1 no hot baths, luke warm only. Hot water dries out the skin. Keep the rash moisturized it can help with the itchiness, Putting oatmeal in the bath if there is a flare up can help a lot. Use non scented lotions scented lotions use to really make my skin go crazy. I stopped drinking milk when I got older and that make a huge difference in the frequency of flare ups. Sometime foods can aggrevate excema, I used to not be able to eat too many strawberries when I was little because my excema would go nuts.

Samantha - posted on 01/19/2011

I feel for you, Jennifer! Eczema is very hard to deal with, I have had it my entire life and am praying my girls don't end up with it. The best thing I can recommend is cool baths olive oil and humidifiers. I HAVE to avoid anything with fragrances or dyes, it causes the eczema to flair up. Because of my sensitive skin, I treat my daughter's skin the same way! Being outside in the sunshine helps a ton in the warmer months too. Just really have to be careful of over heating, that causes eczema to flair too. It is a tough line to walk, but I know you can do it!

Nichole - posted on 01/19/2011

Sorry to hear about you daughter. I have had eczema since I was a little baby(don't let that freak you out. It may go away when she gets older. most do!). The best thing is the Aveeno baby products! They also have bath treatments that will help soothe. You should try to switch your laundry detergent also to one of them that is free of dyes and fragrance.All free and clear is a good one but anyone that you choose will be good. Sometimes foods can make it worse like milk in particular. When I was little I had to drink Lactaid instead of milk. Well if you need any help with anything let me know. I am so happy to help because I know exactly what the both of you are going through!! Good Luck

Elfrieda, thank you for your story! I LOVE hearing how Shaklee products have worked for others--it's just one more reason why I love what I do! I have a 2 year old daughter and we both have sensitive skin, and there is nothing I have found that works like Shaklee products do, while being gentle at the same time. I only wish I would have discovered these products much sooner than I did. That's very smart thinking in ditching the soap; it's very drying and their skin is so thin compared to ours (about 5 times thinner). This is partly why their skin gets dry so quickly and also why it's important that the products that they do come into contact with don't contain harsh chemicals as they get absorbed into their skin much more easily. Best of luck to you with your son; and if the dryness persists contact me, I may be able to help!

Elfrieda - posted on 01/18/2011

Well, I'll chime in with my testimonial, Christine! :) When I was growing up and my sister was allergic to everything, my mom found the Shaklee products to be great for NOT provoking enormous blisters all over my sister's body. After my son was born, I got my mom to order me some laundry detergent and household cleaner from there, too. My son's got a bit of rough red skin on his calves, but I'm working on keeping them moisturized just with lotion and by not using any soap or shampoo in his bath.

Chrystine - posted on 01/18/2011

Hi Jennifer,



I am an Independent Distributor for a company called Shaklee that makes high quality natural products. Many of our customers are actually parents of children with eczema and other skin conditions. I'm sure you've already heard this from your doctor but a lot of times these skin reactions are due in large part to the chemicals that our kids are coming into contact with on a daily basis. A lot of people don't know this but some of the chemicals that are used in everyday household cleaners have ingredients in them that are known eye, skin and respiratory irritants--it's no wonder so many of our kids are having reactions to this stuff! Furthermore, the problem with a lot of eczema treatments is that it treats the symptoms but it's not alleviating the problem. There is another mother that I know of who's child had eczema and would just cry and scream whenever the poor little guy would have a flare up. She got rid of all the household cleaners she was using (I've heard laundry detergent is actually a big offender when it comes to eczema flareups) and started using all Shaklee cleaning products. These are all natural and guaranteed to be safe--there are no harsh chemicals in them whatsoever. They also make a line called Shakleebaby, it's shampoos, lotions, etc, again--all with no harsh chemicals. Almost immediately, her son's eczema went away, and he has not had a single flare up since. Nothing else had worked for her son, and she was so impressed with these products that she actually became a distributor herself. These products are actually really affordable, especially considering some of them are super-concentrated, but more importantly, they actually work and they are 100% safe. I've posted my website address below. Please just check them out, you won't be sorry that you did. This truly has worked for so many people and I'm totally confident it can work for you, too. If you have any questions you can also contact me by clicking the 'contact me' at the top of my site and I'd be more than happy to help you in any way that I can. I wish you the best of luck!

Christine

My eldest (4 yrs) has eczema. I have had several people tell me that they swear by this product or that only for them not to work for my daughter or cause her so much pain that she cries. I asked my paediatrician and he said that eczema is a type of dermatitis and has an irritant. Each person has a different reaction to eczema so therefore they all need different treatments. For my daughter a cortisone cream is applies once every two days and I lather her in sorbolene cream from top to toe morning and night.

Replace cleaning products (washing powders especially as it gets in her clothes) with hypoallergenic or ones with no fragrance. All those perfumes irritate sensitive skin. I have switched to using a laundry liquid instead of a laundry powder. I also use vinegar as a fabric softener and it works really well, too! Good luck and I hope you find something to soothe your daughter.

My son has that problem so I use non fragent hyperoallgeic also I learned that cows milk can cause that too. I just put my son on soy milk and he is almost 4 years old but his skin did that . Some doctors said he had imtagio but i could not figure out why his sister would not have it because they were so close with contact.Then one dr told me its a food allergie. so you might want to check . milk can cause ezema I you look on the internet

Amanda - posted on 01/18/2011

Something called Vani Cream. Can't remember if it has too "nn's" or one. But it's the best thing in the world. Use it twice a day and your daughters skin will pretty much clear up. My son has eczema since he was like 5 months old. He is now 14 months. And the winter is the worst time for eczema babies. The cold does not help it. Also baths are good. Especially very warm baths. Like I said, vani cream will do the trick. It can be found at a Walgreens or a place like that. Or online.

I work for a homeopathic doctor and have seen homeopathy work wonders for kids with eczema. The awesome thing about it is you are not using drugs or chemicals on your child.

The thing that worked for my daughter because I tried everything was Johnson and Johnson's Bedtime with lavendar..
Even though most say no lotions.. I called my pediatrician and she said to try it on a small area first and my daughter has done amazing with it

♥♪Megan♫♥ - posted on 01/17/2011

I've used a mix of .1% cortizone cream and Eucerine on my daughter's skin. Also try the baby oil gel from Johnson and Johnson and the Aveno bath. The baby oil gel has been helping my daughter better than the Eucerine mix for the past week and half.
I'd also suggest that you keep washing her clothes and bedding in soap for sensitive skin w/o the perfumes.
Hope that helps

Julianne - posted on 01/17/2011

corn starch in the bath water works wonders. stay away from soap and lotions with parfum, glycerin, or added color/dye. Wheat can make it worse, gluten free diets can take away eczema completely sometimes. what i do, is grease myself with olive oil before i get into the shower, and use a very mild soap, goats milk soap works good, if its natural and real,no that fake crap. Olive oil is an amazing moisturizer. You only need a very small amount, like a quarter size, too much can get pretty greasy..

I swear by a lotion called Vanicream! The Pharmacist suggested it to me and it has done wonders for my daughter.

My son and step daughter have it as well. Kaya's was so bad that she has scared her self from scratching at it so much. I use Johnson and Johnson shea and cocobutter wash followed with Curel itch defense lotion.(very hard to find, i can only find it at fredmeyers) and i lather them in it. Also, i only do bath time every other day applying lotion every day. Hope this helps you!

All 3 of my toddlers suffer from Eczema. The red blotches look almost like red welts? I have found that cocobutter lotion helps a lot. Put a lot on them as soon as they get out of the bath and I usually do it once more sometime throughout the day. It seems to help!

My daughter had eczema really bad for a while and I recently started using Aveeno fragrance free body wash on her and I use Gold Bond fragrance free or Aveena fragrance free lotion on her after her bath and her skin has been totally clear and smooth for almost a month now. I use sensitive everything on her; laundry detergent, lotion, soap, diapers...it really helps. I tried prescription steroid creams and lotions made specifically for eczema but they didn't really help. I hope you find something that works for you!

For our little boy we use sorbolene instead of soap which hubby and I already used, we did some research and found that coconut oil or cream in his bath works well, we put his clothes and bedding on the extra rinse cycle when we do his washing (that way the chemicals are washed out properly). He takes Zyrtec (anti-histamine) when he is having a flair up with the hydroquaterzone cream and it seems to keep his eczema to a minimum.

Kelly, my son has very sensitive skin and I think he has eczema, maybe I will avoid oatmeal!
We use crisco cooking shortening on our tattoos right after they have been done. It keeps them extremely moisturized. BUT!! Do not use Crisco if your bub is going to be playing outside or in grass. I put Crisco on my tattoo on my ankle and then went walking through the grass at the park and got LOTS of little bug bites, not good on a brand new tattoo and they itch like heck so I'd hate for your bub to have to experience that!

Kelly - posted on 01/16/2011

Hey Jennifer,
Sorry to hear about your little one.... I suffer from very bad eczema, I have my entire life. Fortunately none of my children have inherited it.
I personally have several suggestions. Myself, I have VERY sensitive skin, therefore I am unable to use 99% of the suggested ointments, creams, lotions, treatments etc.
My nephew, 1yr, also suffers from eczema. My sister asks advice on his skin care all the time.
I have to stay AWAY from oatmeal!! It dries out my skin and causes blisters. I also have to stay away from anything petrolium based,( vaseline, ointments, or any thing oil based etc). I can only use certain laundry detergents ( the less perfumes or scents the better), bar soaps I can not use, at all, I will react to Ivory, Dove, Aveeno, the "body shop" or " natural" soaps. I have to use Johnson's & Johnson's Natural Baby wash body wash because it doesn't leave a residue on my skin. I have also found that Aloe Vera is a HUGE reactor for me. A lot of my reactions come from "contact or food". Wool, Micro fibre, feather duvets ( duck, goose etc) may cause itching. Try experimenting. The seasons tend to reek havok on my skin, in the summer when your skin is hot and clammy it will breakout in a rash ( due to heat and sweat) in the winter it will dry out and crack and bleed because it's so dry. I still struggle with season changes.
It may be an idea to have her tested by an allergist for any possible allergies that may contribute to her eczema. I had my son tested for allergies when he was 10 months old, for other reasons, so please don't let your doctor tell you that she is too young. I had to be very firm with my doctor and demand that he be tested, if they refuse, get another opinion. See 20 doctors if you have to.
As for bathing, every other day, pat dry only and if you can, let her run around in the buff for about 1/2 hr after her bath. I suggest cotton jammies only, they allow the skin to breath.
If you have to moisturize, and have yet to find something in a drug store, you may want to try, Crisco cooking shortening. I know that sounds funny but, I used it all through high school because I had eczema on my face and neck. It worked for me.
I also saw a dermatologist because mine was severe. I have a very strong Cortizone CREAM that I use when it's bad. With any Cortizone, you should be very careful about sun exposure. Cortizone, when used continually over a long period of time, tends to thin your skin and make you more susceptible to skin cancers.
I hope this helps and you find something that works fairly soon. I also hope that she doesn't have it as bad as I do lol
Good Luck and I hope this helps.

Sarh - posted on 01/16/2011

I posted about my 7m old possibly having eczema, and they all recommended Aveeno and some recommended Eucurine (I don't know how to spell it). I was also told that the hydrocortizone cream didn't seem to help much.
Make sure the areas stay clean so they don't become infected.

Sara - posted on 01/16/2011

Vasalene is the best its extra moisturized and no sent or anything in it. One of my bf is a nurse and both of her kids have it. Dont use anything that is scented. My daughter had started to get the little patches but hers where very mild. But I didnt want them to get worse so I started to try this one type called Aveeno and I wouldnt recomnend it, it seems to had irritated it more although it was said to be unscented and nothing in it. But as soon as I started to use the Vasalene and her spots are completely gone. I continue to put it on her daily and she has not had any other break outs yet. From what ive been told is that they are not holding enough moisture thats why they are breaking out. Or try whatever lotion you want to put on her and put the Vasalene over it to seal the moisture in and help hold it.

My daughter also has eczema I use dove bar soap with her in the bath all the time.Her doctor gave me the hydrocortizone cream.What I also use for her bath once a week is an Aveeno oatmeal bath it works like a charm.With the face if you child allows you put just a tiny bit of dove soap on the washcloth an drap it over her face for a little.If she will not allow it the just wash her face with dove.Its dove beauty bar

We use Vaseline. It's much cheaper than other things. I slather it on before bed and cover him up in pj's and it keeps his skin nice and moist. The humidifier is a good helper too. Fragrance free laundry detergent also helps, but nothing really makes it go away completely.

Ria - posted on 01/14/2011

LOL the same thing happened to me the other day. My son's eczema isn't that bad, but I put baby oil in the bath and put lotion on him all the time. Try to find a lotion that is as natural as possible!!! All the added "stuff" they put in is not good, stay away from the perfume ones especially.

Medic - posted on 01/14/2011

Hmm I asked about the soap and he said since she has used it her whole life probably not, but we live in central Texas and have had the worst week of FREEZING weather which probably brought it on. I would have never thought of benedryl....I wonder if she is old enough??? I think he ment no baths until it warms up, he said since she is a baby a warm wash cloth and plain water would clean her but we could lay her back and wash her hair( she has a lot and its curly so it gets gross). Some of the products you ladies have mentioned I have heard about but a lot of them I haven't. I will go looking into all of these things. I was also told I had to be careful what kind of sun screen I could use on her so does anyone have any ideas on that. We already use organic odorless and colorless soap to wash clothes and organic soap for the showers. I am not trying to make excuses I just feel like I brought this on her trying to protect my kids from all the crap that is in EVERYTHING. Will she out grow this? or Will she have it forever? Is it possible to put too much lotion on her?? I am sorry for all the stupid questions I just can't stand to see her scratching and crying. I have no clue how both of my kids ended up with such fair skin.
