I have no idea what to do for Levi's eczema. I'm out of options. We have tried literally everything. He's sitting in his bed scratching his already bloody ankles and arms and crying. I can't even go in there anymore I'm so frustrated.
We have that one. It works for a little while. I even put aquaphor over it, but he still eventually strays scratching again. Especially if he's out of sight like in his car seat or playing in his room away from me. @athomas,
Eucerin eczema lotion is great. Its $15 for a bottle but it works wonders on my husband who has severe eczema
@rebeccathomas06, I use cerave to bathe my son & it's also helped very much. Hope all this has can you help you & your little on @raehow,
With my 4 month-old I used TAC as well. It works wonders with her eczema.
I've tried aquaphor but it didn't do anything I just keep small portions of the vanicream on hand to maintain his skin moisturized but the medicated cream is the only thing that's shown results.
TAC (the stuff @cyreescobar shared) worked best on me, I was also on clobetesol(?) and it was okay-ish but that's all prescription stuff. As far as over the counter stuff goes, aquaphor has been the best. It doesn't cure it, but it's at least hydrating it and keeps it from getting worse.
@cyreescobar, thank you so much, I will be asking about it. I really hope it helps him like it has helped your baby.
Prescribed by his pediatrician and it's worked wonders.. its worth a shot.
That's one I've actually never heard of. Where did you get that? It's worth a shot. @cyreescobar,
We've tried steroid creams but we can't afford to keep burying those. :/ it helped but it never did clear it up as well as I'd like @cyreescobar
We do oatmeal and baking soda baths. He uses dove sensitive soap. We use hydrocortisone and every eczema cream/lotion/ointment known to man. Ive even tried tee tree and lavender oil. We've tried aloe. There's like nothing else to try...
Have you taken him to a dermatologist? My son has eczema and they sent me a medicated ointment that has worked wonders when his decides to flare up. & ive also switched to organic diapers and detergent. & try putting on socks on his hands when he goes to bed maybe two pairs I had to do that to my son when he would scratch.
Awe @raehow I wished I had better advice then poor baby.
