Need some help mommas! Kiddo (mo) has excema (or so the doc says) his skin is super dry and rough. Feels like sand paper almost. He doesnt seem to be bothered by it but its dry and all over. He has red splotches on his belly (they still attribute this to excema). We've tried the Aveeno oatmeal stuff (both lotion and wash), aquaphor only, minimizing baths, using very little body wash of any type. He also has cradle cap weve gone thru coconut and olive oil. Thats getting better but not gone. Any tricks, suggestions?!

Hydrocortisone is the only thing that will take care of my son’s flare ups. None of the otc products worked for him.

Im going to have ask about that. Because Im not sure how many more days we can skip with baths or lotions and soaps to use.

When there's no flare ups, we use Aveeno baby( the one with the dark blue lid) wash and lotion.

My kids have eczema, and that's what it looks like and feels like. Pediatrician prescribed derma smoothe, and it works wonders! Also used for cradle cap.

How long did that take to kick in?

We had to take my son to a dermatologist. She gave us hydrocortisone and a stronger steroid to eliminate the red spots. It worked within days. I use eucerin for daily use. For cradle cap I used mustela shampoo.

@olismom, maybe a week? I had to be really persistent and brush while the shampoo was on his hair then moisturize and brush after.
