The child is 2 years old he's had exema since birth, it itches, turns red, he swells and something like water oozes from him. The doctors have him bathing in cephacil and bleach and he uses a medication that rubs on that contains steroids. It doesn't really help. His skin is rough also and gets sores on it. Can anyone shed any light as to what else might could be used to help him. It's really bad and covers most of his body.

Eczema is basically dry skin, The fact that some doctor told you to bath him in BLEACH is freaking NUTS.. That is part of the problem. Chloride(bleach) will dry the skin out even more. it is also the reason why she is breaking out in sores.
the most important thing to do is stop the bleach bath. secondly is to start using non-scented lotions, use it three times a day, then the other part is to use non-scented soap.

i've got had eczema for years and tried all varieties of creams, salves, aquaphor, prescriptions, etc.. no longer something ever labored with out coming with a frightening black field warning or extraordinary chemical compounds. i ultimately discovered Burt's Bees Res-Q ointment. that's approximately $5 a tin and the main factors are all organic, comfrey, allantoin, and lavandin. secure for infant! I used it on an extremely undesirable patch of eczema on my backside eyelid and it grew to become into actually completely long previous in 2 days!! that's genuinely properly worth a attempt!

I have found eczema baby wash, by Gentle Naturals to work very well. Baby lotion, like baby magic also worked wonders for me. I would even try the cradle cap treatments for your son's eczema.

I would recommend ELCON by Shering-Plough it is tested for long term treatments, and can be used in severe cases, also after you change your BLEACHING doctor, please try to find what triggers the eczema in your daughter's skin, and the problem will get simpler, :)
