My 2 mo old has eczema on her face, what helped with your baby if your baby had eczema?

Answer 1

Eczema is caused by dry, irritated skin.
Well nourished and moisturised skin cells are blocked together tightly, visualise it as a brick wall with each individual brick being a skin cell. When the skin is dry, the skin cells become flacid and lose it's moisture, or as you see it as a wall, the bricks begin to break and holes & gaps are formed allowing bacteria and dirt to enter resulting in the skin being irritated and red.
Highly moisturising creams can assist the skin cells in forming a tight wall again developing a barrier against germs & infectants.
Swap normal soap for your baby with QV Moisturising Wash, Ego Moisturising washes can also help and a Pinetarsol Bath and wash down can relieve your child of itchiness & discomfort.
Ensure when bathing your baby that the water is not too hot, hot water can wash away the body's natural oil (Ever seen how easily hot water can wash away oil on a cooking pan?) resulting in dry, flaky skin. A lukewarm bath should be best.
Always moisturise, moisturise, moisturise to keep your baby's skin well nourished & healthy and always wash your hands before moisturising your child.
If your childs excema persists, see your local doctor for some cream. Cortisone creams & Topical Ointments work very well & you will see the eczema/skin condition gone after a day or two.

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 3

I've had eczema all my life, my mother took me to the doctors as a young child & I was given steroid cream but obviously thats only for a doctor to prescribe.

E45 cream is good for eczema but I'm not sure if you should put in on babies.

Consult your doctor, they will give you the best advice, rather than trying loads of different stuff on your young child & risk making the skin condition worse.

Answer 4

Is it actually eczema or is it just dry skin? If it's eczema, I'd get something from the doc... but if it's just dry skin... try olive oil. My daughter was low-birthweight when she was born (5 1/2lbs) and had VERY dry skin the first few months. My doc told me to rub olive oil on her a few times a day. It helped a lot.

Answer 5

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/niQiz
