ella gets eczema EVERYWHERE!!!!
we tried baby oil (doc.s recommendation) which made it worse!!
then i tried lucas’s paw paw lotion it didn’t make it worse but it didn’t make it better either
finally it was recomended by a nurse that we try sorbolene cream (with 10% glycerine) and it worked wounders in just 2 days the eczema was almost gone:smiliedance:
we were also told not to use johnson’s bath oil (even though it was the one they used in the maternity ward) so we switched to hamiltons dry skin treatment oil, i don’t really know if it’s made a difference or not

I have been using Dermeze Ointment as a moisturiser and it works really well for my DD. She’s had eczema since she was 2 months old all over her face and body. Her face is the worst. I have tried Gaia Skin Soothing Lotion for about 4 weeks which reduces the redness but it was too drying for skin. Ended up using steroid (Betnovate on her body and Egocort on her face). Cleared up within a few days but as soon as I stopped using the steroid, a few flare ups started again. I didn’t want to keep using steroid so I tried “Infant Cream – Apis Meliferra” (www.beewild.com (http://www.beewild.com)) for 4 weeks and worked better than Gaia but still drying for her skin (flaking badly) – cleared up the body but face/arms/legs were slowly getting better. Had to stop using the product as DD had a small lump on her shoulder (infection) so took her to Dr and had to go on antibiotics for 10 days. Went back on steroid as DD has become so irritable and unhappy:(. She is constantly wanting to scratch her ears and rub her eyes. I am all for natural products but found it’s too slow of process and can’t bear to see her suffer anymore. I have to yet to find a natural product that fully works. Will be seeing a dermatologist and hope to be able to identify her allergies and better solution to manage her condition. I have heard about homeopathy. Does this really work? Can it be combined with the use of steroids?:confused:
I am so frustrated and stressed out to the point that my eczema flared up on my neck and face (don’t usually have these..only when I am really stressed:banghead:). She is my first bub and constantly worrying about her. In 5.5 mths, she’s already had 2 infections (had to go on antibiotics) and back on steroids!!
