Answer 2

I feel you! My son is almost 10 months old, and he has very bad eczema. This is what my doctor recomended, and we have great control over flare ups. -Give your baby a bath every night (warm, but not hot water, as too much heat can dry the skin out even more), and do not use ANY scented soap or lotions. Baby lotions are terrible for babies with eczema. I use Aveeno unscented oatmeal wash every other night, and on the other nights I just wash him with water. -As soon as your baby gets out, dry him/her off just little, leave the skin damp. -Apply the steroid creams and Eucerin Lotion (this stuff is wonderful, it is the only thing that helps my baby. I use the original formula) all over your baby until he/she is very greasy. Keep the Eucerin on your baby throughout the day when she has a bad flare up, otherwise I just put it on after bathtime. My doctor said that with eczema you need a cream that is colorless, thick, and doesn't smell (if you think about it, baby lotion is the complete opposite...it's pink, it's runny, and it smells). Keep your baby covered if it is cold and/or windy outside. You can also try a cool mist humidifier if the air in your house is dry. Eczema can also be caused by allergies. Try to eliminate any type of fragrence around your baby (perfume, hairspray, detergent, etc). It can also be caused by food allergies, so if you have started your baby on solids, stop, wait a week, and start back by only giving him.her one food at a time (wait a week in between). I know this is a lot, but I know how terrible it is to have a baby with eczema, and I know what you are going through. I promise you that this will help, if you follow it to a tee. Hope this helped, and good luck!

go and see a dermatologist, as i have really bad eczema as well, and for ages i was using baby lotion, and it was a while before i discovered i was allergic to an ingredient in that... the dr will be able to prescribe some creams to treat the itching etc, but a really good moisteriser (which i have used for ages and is really good) has colloidal oatmeal in it... because its all natural, its really mild, and the action of the oatmeal is really soothing and really hydrates the skin... its mild enough to use all over the body including the face, so it should be fine for the hands...

another thing you could try is something called diprobase... its just a moisterier as well, but is thicker than the oatmeal cream, so may stay on the hands a bit longer... since i work in a lab and am washing my hands all the time, i have found that this works really well at keeping the skin on my hands healthy... and its not too greasy either...

hope your mum gets it sorted soon xxx

My little boy had eczema on his cheeks. I was not sure what method to use but I didn't want to make my boy go through any surgery treatments at this young age. Some suggested a plastic surgeon since it was in a very visible location but our family doctor recommend this natural guide.

Best Eczema Treatment?

Answer 6

Try E45 and eumovate. Speak to a chemist and ask their advice because you can buy most of the anti-eczema creams over the counter.

I used eumovate on my eczema and it cleared up. Some doctors recommend you apply it with plastic gloves.

Your Mum should also try wearing gloves as far as possible that won't irritate it further because the drop in temperature recently will effect it even more.

Answer 9

According to what I have read, eczema is one condition caused by the candida albicans fungus. Any antifungal cream may help. Some say that apple cider vinegar is anti fungal, and that may be taken internally (ugh) as well as used externally. I am eating more unsweetened plain no fruit added yogurt these days, as that has acidophilous, that is supposedly a good anti candida food (ugh too).

The yeast link at www.hufa.org has more info on this fungus.

Answer 10

an emolliant cream can help as eczema causes dryness.

cetraben is a good one and is available to buy over the counter at most pharmacists. It does not contain lanolin which can irritate eczema.

She should also use gloves for washing up as the soap can affect her skin. She can wash with these creams but they feel slightly waxy - dermol 500 is a good soap substitute but is to my knowlege a prescription only cream.

Answer 11

Product from South Africa called "Zambuck". Green gel in a green and white round tin. I've recommended this to two friends here in the UK before for eczema and it has solved their problems. I'm not kidding. This stuff is as mythical as Tiger Balm. Worth a try.
