Right now we only use Dove for sensitive skin. I just wanted to know if there is an alternative for after puberty.

I am 32 years old. I have been diagnosed with eczema since i was 7 months old.I have tried a great deal of soaps and body shampoos and i feel the best deodorant soap or body shampoo is called G&H. The only trouble is that you can't find it at the supermarket or at drug stores.It is only availably from amway. You can get more information on the site www.amway.com.

Don't use deodorant soaps as the chemicals in them are far too strong for the skin, especially if it is already disturbed from the eczema and he is allergic to some soaps. Try Aveeno products as the other poster mentioned, or use Ivory soap. It is pure and shoud not cause any kind of adverse reaction.

I would go for the hypoallergenic soaps with the fewest ingedients. Deodorants may well be causing the problem.
See Let's Get Well by Adelle Davis, and Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine (Murray & Pizzorno) for an excellent discussion of eczema and some good recommendations on how to try and deal with it.

I can't speak specifically for eczema, but my husband has psoriasis. His skin is very sensitive. He uses a natural oatmeal soap from the health food store. He used to use Dove fragrance free, but he found that the natural soap is much better.

ummm, you shouldn't be using deodorant soaps at all for a child that has eczema. my sister has that and is 21 years old, had it since she was a child and til this day she doesn't use deodorant soap. use sensitive skin soap or Aveeno soaps, only.

I would try aveeno and skip any sort of deodorant soaps. Since he has eczema, I'm sure his dr has mentioned that he shouldn't bathe too frequently because this will make it worse.

There are several types of natural soaps and deoderents in health food stores.Chances are hes reacting to mercury found in soaps deoderents and toothpastes.Research the products you use and see what dove doesnt have that the rest might.Personally Id just get these products at the health store and try them out.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/820lm

None, try aveeno.
My daughter & I both have eczema, and I never buy scented soaps.
