Hello is there anybody who can tell me an alternative medicine to treat my two month old baby's eczema?

Answer 1

With children that are so young it is best to go with natural medicine. One of the things my mother use to do was put oatmeal on my skin. You let it sit in water until the water becomes cloudy and thick. After the shower she would put some on even with the oats. She would leave it on for a while and then rinse it off. She would than apply the cloudy water and leave that on. Completely natural will not harm the skin of the child. Also stay away from creams that have chemicals. I know Henry's, Trader Joe's and Clarks stores have natural creams.

My son had the same problem but I have lost a baby to sids so I am extremely paranoid when it comes to them sleeping on their stomachs. I bought this little sleeper thing its a cushion they sleep on with like cushions on the side so they cant roll over. They are very soft and look pretty comfy. I think they are called a side sleeper or something I dont really remember.

i had this problem with my daughter, 4 months old, i was worried using the steroid creams from the doctor

i ended up using a soya bean oil called BALNEUM oil in her bath, then washed her in aqueous cream instead of soap

3 days and it was all clear, she is now 14 years old, and still uses the same things now and it still keeps it at bay, and completely safe, VERY occasionally she will come into contact with something that causes a flare up, a bath and some cream its gone
ask your doctor/healthworker
they are terrific, and VERY safe

Answer 5

The lanolin you buy at the store for sore nipples. Use sparingly and soak the tube in warm water for 2 minutes before applying to thin it out.

Answer 7

Medicine? Unless it's severe, you don't usually get any meds for eczema.

A good, fragrance free lotion. Aveeno's great, as it's got oatmeal in it, which helps soothe irritation.

Answer 8

it will go away by itself. Just leave it alone and don't irritate it. It may look really bad for awhile but they are just trying to get those hormones out of their body.

Answer 9

breastmilk, topically
