Answer 2

my daughter had severe eczema when she was a toddler. We tried everything and she is now 9,almost 10 years old. We just recently found out that she has a sensitivity to the protein in milk. She also had very bad constipation.I don't know if this is what your daughter has but we had no clue until about 4 weeks ago. She scratched so bad that she would wake up bloody and her clothes stuck to her. When she was 6 months old we had bandaids all over her,across the top of her back,shoulders,thighs you name it. Also the constipation too. Take a look into the milk protein,is it simple to do. Just remove it from her diet for 2 weeks,it takes 2 weeks for it leave her system.If she improves you found the problem.

Hope this helps!

provide her an omega 3 supplement. interior a month, you will see a large distinction. additionally, do no longer use Johnson and Johnson products by using fact they strip the organic oils from pores and skin and hair, inspite of that they promote that they are gentle, they are noticeably harsh. in case you go with for data of this you need to apply it to your person hair a pair cases and notice what I propose. have you ever tried using the moisturizing Aveeno infant tub with oatmeal? in any different case, provide her a tub another day and make useful the water isn't too heat which may well be drying. prepare moisturizer spectacular away after towel drying and that would desire to help too.

Answer 4

change laundry soap to arm and hammer and make sure she does not have eczema as that may be the problem--take her to a dermatologist. Get Castile soap to use on her and never rub soap on her skin put it on a cloth and then clean her. also no scented creams or lotions. Should help if not take her to the doc.

Answer 5

I have found Infant/Toddler bath products/lotion in the baby section of grocery stores that are for kids with Excema. This would be worth trying. Also, before you dry her off apply a little baby oil to her skin and let it absorb for a minute before you dry her off.

Answer 6

Aveeno oatmeal baths and aveeno lotion worked great for my son when he was that age. Of course as his skin has gotten much drier as he's gotten older and we're now using Bath & Body's Shea It Isn't So body cream. It's a very heavy shea butter and it works great!

Answer 7

Aveeno soap .....works great....Dont bathe her as often...maybe 2-3 times a week? Washing dries out.

Answer 8

Pure Glycerine and Water 50/50...... I have suffered from dematitis and now eczema all my life. Trust me, this is effective and cheap.
