my daughter is 10 months old and she has bad eczema is aveeno soothing bath treatment good?

Answer 1

Wal-mart used to carry an all natural brand called tender times..I haven't seen it for years..probably because it worked too good. The brand you have now is the next best solution. I also use on my son a warm bath with 1 cup of baking soda, followed by Curel lotion.

Answer 2

Another option would be to use Aquaphor baby. It's expensive, but works well. A&D ointment also works well and is less expensive than Aquaphor. Both of them are basically Vaseline with some additives. My nephew has eczema and one thing that his pediatrician said was to only bathe him every other day or every three days until it got better. Water dries out skin (seems oxymoronic, but it's true), so limiting the amount of water that touches your baby's skin will help. I would lather her up with the calming cream the other post suggested or do Aquaphor for a longer stretch of time. The Aveeno bath is a good one, but I would bathe her really quickly and not very often. I'd apply the cream to her every time you change her diaper or at least twice or three times each day. I hope this helps!

Answer 3

My son is 15 months and he has suffered from eczema from just about the start. I use a combination of cortisone 10 (extra strength - doctor recommended) and an ointment (actually comes in a jar and also doctor recommended) called Aquaphor. I use the cortisone to aid with the itching and to prevent/heal wounds and the Aquaphor to moisturize. It is not a cure but it helps tremendously. I apply it as often as needed. You can buy them both at your local pharmacy or grocery store. AdditionalIy, don't bathe him too much. He is 10 months old..a good bath 2 to 3 times a week is plenty. Wipe him down at other times. I assure you that he will be much more comfortable and his little wounds will heal. Good Luck!

Answer 4

My sisters little girl is now 2 years old and has not seen a
recurrence of eczema in a year know.
Aveeno is a good choice of lotion and I would try
to keep her very moisturized.

Answer 5

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

My son has skin problems too and I love the aveeno. Make sure its the creamy one. Also, our doctor gave us a prescription for Eucerin cream and it works wonders. I use the Aveeno thick lotion as well, when his skin isn't as bad. The brand "Gentle Naturals" has a cream specifically for baby eczema, but I haven't tried it yet

Answer 7

Yes and it's also important to keep it very moisturized with a heavier moisturizer or a cream. I used to put cream on my sons everytime I changed his diaper. It probably will get worse in the hotter months. I have a script for cortizone cream but I only use it when I really have to. You may have to ask your doc for some but use it very sparingly.

Answer 8

My sister uses this on my 7m/o nephew and she swears by it, so I started using it on my 6y/o who has bad eczema and it is working. Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose when doing so. Hope it helps!

Answer 9

Aveeno works very well!! i use it on my 2 month old. also try the aveeno baby fragrance free daily moisture lotion!!

Answer 10

It didn't help very much with my child, but try it and then apply the Eucerin calming creme. It's safe for adults and children including infants. It worked for me.
