Question mamas...my baby has eczema on his forehead and cheeks and I already brought him to the pediatrician and they…

@hthomas0308 try this one.. When your done taking him a shower put the lotion on while he is wet don't dry him off thats what I do with my son

Oh, and keep his skin moisturized. Dry skin makes the itching worse. And when you bathe him, use lukewarm water.

Vaseline

@mumof2, oh I’m sorry and thanks

@sawyersmom, thank you

Oh yeah and mixed Aveeno with it too

5 months is not too young my daughter has severe eczema she has had it since she was born and I use hydrocortisone cream mixed with Vaseline. It hurts them so bad. I been giving her it since 1 month old

Triple antibiotic ointment

@mommyof2girlz, thank you mama

The reason the pedi won't prescribe is the prescription creams and such are very strong. My husband has psoriasis on his face and scalp. He has a shot he gets every 3 months that literally isn't covered my insurance (it's over 2k). We are in a program with the drug manufacturer so it costs us $5.00 each time. He has creams, oils etc to help. Does it work? Yes. But, it's strong treatment that definitely isn't for kids.

My advice is look into all natural ideas online or creams that are out there. I watched an episode of The Profit last night (on demand. We're behind) on Monica Potter and her signature product was a cream for eczema and psoriasis that was all natural.

@rogue, thank you!

Baby Aveeno didn’t work for my baby either. Try Eucerin Baby Eczema Cream

@hthomas0308, No problem. 😊

@jayw, thank you

Cetaphil!!!! Use the cream, it will clear up in a couple of days! I live by this product and have used it for years on my family. I have eczema really bad but no one would ever know.... CETAPHIL!!!!!!! The cream!!!!!!

@starienite, thanks

I use this one and it works great. You may have to apply a few times a day until you can get it under control. Then just once a day.

@momboo, ok thanks hun

@hthomas0308 it's happened to me and nothing bad happened

@momboo, yeah I am just worried if he touches the aquaphor on his cheeks then puts his hands in his mouth that it is bad for him or something ugh

@hthomas0308 and to be honest I'm that one whos hates Aveeno because it's made our eczema worth..I was pissed back on time

@hthomas0308 no worries, it's was on cheeks of my little one sometimes I couldn't prevent her not touch it by hands and another time she's had rash around her lips and Dr told it's okey if she's will accidentally lick it ..well here we go we 1 and thanks God nothing bad happened

@chasha2017, yeah that’s what I’m gonna do

@mommieof2babies, ok I’ve seen that one before it has something different in it?

@hthomas0308 I used to use Johnson and Johnson's, which gave my son a rash all over his body. I switched to aquaphor and never looked back.

@hthomas0308 try this one.. When your done taking him a shower put the lotion on while he is wet don't dry him off thats what I do with my son

@chasha2017, should I switch his body wash I use...I use Johnson and Johnson’s

Oh, and keep his skin moisturized. Dry skin makes the itching worse. And when you bathe him, use lukewarm water.

I would try aquaphor of not them try eucerin

They also have Aveeno for eczema.

@mommieof2babies,

Aquaphor is amazing. Also, try putting a little hydrocortisone while he's asleep.

Are you using regular baby aveeno or the aveeno eczema one.. They all work wonders but try aquaphor first and see if that helps

@mommieof2babies, which would you recommend most!?

@momboo, thanks yeah I’m starting to not have faith in aveeno ugh I have used aquaphor on my older son before on his cheeks so I will try that I’m just concerned cause he always has his hands in his mouth and I’m afraid he will get the aquaphor in his mouth that way from his cheeks

Aquaphor, baby dove, eucerin, cetaphil

Aveeno is not miracle,but what's always helped with our eczema is Auquaphor eczema
