So ive tried the oatmeal bath on Kai and put on Vitamin E oil after the bath...he still scratches. Ive done the Aveeno baby eczema therapy wash and lotion. been doing that for a while and it seems to have gotten worse. The vitamin E oil helps every now and then. Any other ideas to stop him from scratching his eczema?

I had the same issue, my doctor said it was from breast milk getting on him but I definitely thought it was more, so we brought baby to a dermatologist. This doctor prescribed for us hydrocortisone too, but that was mainly for the redness. He also prescribed a cream called ketoconazole and that's really what cleared up the eczema for us, but the doctor had us mix the two creams together @kdcmommy26

@kdcmommy26, They should have given you another. I get two the hydrocortisone and something called triamcinolone and I have to apply it twice a day everyday even if it's gone

@kdcmommy26, I also switched to unscented everything from wipes, soap and laundry detergent. I also use aveeno cream no lotions also they tell you to only bathe them once a day and no more than 15 mn and with warm water

Don't worry, the breast milk is definitely helping with a lot! I breastfeed too. Apparently baby eczema is quite common @kdcmommy26
