2 year old with psoriasis and eczema nothing works help!!!?

Answer 1

My 4 yr old has had eczema for most of his life. I tried a number of things,but the 2 main things that have worked the best are cetaphil cream and arbonne babycare. I used the cetaphil for several months before someone told me about the arbonne. For the most part, cetaphil cream (not lotion) worked fairly well especially if I put it on right after the bath while his skin was still damp. It was about $14 a jar,so it is comparable in price to arbonne. The arbonne babycare lotion by itself is good,but I've found through experience that the baby care body wash and babycare lotion is best when used together. We've had prescriptions for Elidel (sp?) and that worked okay too, but for over the counter stuff, I would definitely recommend the cetaphil cream or the arbonne babycare stuff.

Cure psoriasis starting today - even if your doctor or dermatologist says "it's impossible!"
I've just followed a guide called psoriasis free for life that completely cured me of this debilitating and embarrassing disease in less than a month!
Remember, this will not only treat the symptoms that you do see:
the red, inflamed itchy skin.
The silvery scales that seem to erupt for no reason.
The burning or bleeding that occurs around your joints.
The cracking, oozing and painful patches on your skin.
But it also treats the underlying cause of psoriasis - the part you don't see - the actual immune system deficiency that causes these itchy patches to appear and scale over.

Answer 5

If the infant has had it since birth it could be a (usually genetic) condition called Icthyosis (like a scaling dermatitis effect). A lotion or cream that is pretty effective to treat this is Amlactin Cream or Lotion (it has generic available called ammonium lactate lotion (or cream)). Amlactin is an acidic base (just like the pH of our skin) so it penetrates the lipid bi-layer of our skin and really moisturizes. It is available over-the-counter. You can use the product alone morning and bedtime or you can use hydrocortisone 2-3 times a day with Amlactin or a moisturizer in between. If that doesn't work an appointment with a pediatrician or dermatologist is a good idea.

Answer 6

I suggest a couple all natural products - Optiflora will treat the condition internally and for external use Small Wonder Creamy Baby Oil.

Optiflora is a two product system that includes Probiotic (Bifidus & Acidophilus...microflora) + Prebiotic (FOS...food source for microflora). Guaranteed delivery of 500 million microflora to intestines. Safe for all ages from infants to seniors.

Creamy Baby Oil is more like a cream than an oil. It provides the same benefits and protection, but it's faster absorbing and less greasy. It's pH balanced and dermatologist tested for delicate skin, and contains soothing vitamin E and allantoin to help prevent dryness and irritation.

Both of these products have been effective in treating these conditions in little ones.

Hope this is helpful and feel free to contact me with questions.

My son has had it since he was 6 months old(he is now 6). We use Eucerin or Cetaphil, they both work very well for it because they are greasy and it soaks in more moisture. The best thing I have to tell you is colloidal oatmeal baths and don't bathe her with soap every day, just every other day. Let her have a bath at night but every other night use the colloidal oatmeal soaks instead of soap. Once you get it under control you can go back to using soap every night again. You can find it where you find the bath salts, it will be in a box and it comes in little packets that you pour into the bath water. I also highly recommend Aveeno Oatmeal Wash and Aveeno Oatmeal Lotion after the bath. I hope she gets better soon, I know how terrible it is to see your little one itchy and uncomfortable. I will let you know too that it does tend to lessen as they get older, my sons hasn't gone away completely but he breaks out less frequently now that he is a little older.

Answer 8

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 9

I don't have any experience with psoriasis, but I am 21 and have had eczema for as long as I can remember.

As far as I know, there aren't any outright cures and what works for one person to ease symptoms doesn't always work for the next.

That said, I do have a list of things that worked for me:

1) Just getting older. Not much you can do about this one, but my symptoms have gotten increasingly better as I aged. As a child in elementary school I had very bad rashes. Now, I have rare outbreaks usually induced by certain things (will discuss below) and circumstances. If your child observes what causes these outbreaks over time, maybe the eczema can be controlled and nearly eliminated. I was totally symptom free for a year! A pharmacist I used to go to experienced the same thing.

2) Minimal stress. Minimize the stress your child experiences and in his/her environment and it can help ward off outbreaks. It makes a HUGE difference, trust me.

3) Good diet. Eat healthy. Stay away from grease, fast food (McDonald's, BK), packaged stuff with preservatives, cheetos, and especially very sweet foods with high sugar (or sugar-substitute like High Fructose Corn Syrup--yuk!) content. Buy organic, cook fresh produce at home. Eat lots of fruits (smoothies!) and vegetables. No soda!!!!!

4) Say no to perfumes/colognes. This means don't wash your clothes in Tide -- if you can smell the detergent an aisle away, it's no good. "Unscented" is your friend. Don't use perfumes or colognes, buy unscented lotions and moisturizers, buy unscented/fragance-free soaps that are mild. Certain soaps are harsher than others -- Dial, Ivory, Irish Springs, etc suck the little moisture your child DOES have right out of his/her skin. Opt for gentle soaps (how dirty can he be at this point, anyway) like Aveeno, or even go to a health food store and look for something with less chemicals. Don't use hot water. The cooler the water the better (my doctor always tells me this). The shorter and more natural the ingredient list, the better!!!!

5) Don't scratch. This might be hard for a child to refrain from doing -- it was impossible for me when I was a child. Don't nag him/her to stop, but try and make him/her understand that scratching only makes it worse. The more you scratch, the itchier it gets -- a vicious cycle -- and scars can last for DECADES! You don't want the skin to scar if possible, especially on the face, arms, and legs. Constant scratching (it takes a LOT, though) over years can lead to minor skin pigment loss, in my experience.

6) Exercise regularly. My symptoms disappeared when I was very active, playing sports every day and working out in the gym often. This is more something your child can do later on in life to help keep symptoms away. Introduce him to water sports -- swimming, paddling, and surfing (I live in Hawaii) were my favorites because sweating in intense heat makes me itchy. Being in the water kept me from itching, and thus kept me from scratching. Getting some sun every day helped me, too. You don't want to bake in the sun (always use sunscreen with 30+ SPF), but being active in the water for an hour or two really keeps you healthy. Chlorine is said to aggravate eczema...I stay away from the pool if I have a breakout but once I have it under control the chlorine doesn't bother me. Another thing to think about if your child spends time in the sun and water is sunglasses -- protect his/her eyes!

7) Oatmeal baths. Not sure how effective this was for me, but others say it helps.

8) Drink LOTS of water. Being fully hydrated helps your overall health and likely helps keep your skin from drying out.

Good luck! [e-mail] if you have other questions.

Answer 10

Hydro-cortisone cream will usually get rid of it.

From the drug store it is 1%, if that doesn't work there is a prescription for 2 % of the same thing. It works really well.
