How to treat eczema in baby?
My three month old seems to have eczema on her cheeks and neck area. Her skin is kind of dry. AT her last well check up the dr just told me to bath her with dove soap and keep her skin moisturized. But that has not been working. I have also tried hydrocortisone cream but nothing helps. My poor baby seems to be fussy more than usual and i think the rash is the cause. ANy suggestions as to what can help thanks

Bless my child’s heart, he had eczema rash everywhere except his diaper area. His butt was the only clear skin on that boy.
The pediatric dermatologist we went to suggested Cetaphil products and the following rules:
1. A bath no more than once every other day. Every three days if he’s not stinky.
2. No soap. Ever. Use Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion and rinse it off.
3. Twice a day, every day, rub him down with lots of Cetaphil cream. Not lotion, the stuff in the tub that’s like cold cream.
4. Dreft detergent, or some other detergent for sensitive skin, for all of baby’s clothes and bedding.
They also gave me some medicine for breakouts, but the steps above kept any breakouts from happening until he got older.
By the way, my child HATED being rubbed down with cold cream, but it was very effective.
Our pediatrician told me last week that if you do not like to use the steroid cream, or it does not work, that you can try regular hand lotion – just not the kind of lotion that soaks into the skin and then 10mins later does not feel like you applied anything. He said that you should apply the kind of lotion that is GREASY (which I hate, lol)
The greasy stuff is the good stuff! You can apply at bed time and then put on long jammies so it does not get all over the bedding…hope that helps!!
baby aveno eczema therapy… works wonders. should use whole aveno baby line much better on skin.
