As a child I got it in the bends of my knees, elbows, fingers under my arms and back of my legs. Basically anyplace that I sweat. I learned that when I shower NOT to use soaps, body washes or bath oils. Simply warm water. As for lotions and potions. I only use JORDAN ESSENTIALS Satin Shea Body Butter (Oatmeal, Milk and Honey). It is the only product that I have found that does not contain alcohol. (Eucerin & Cetaphil that most doctors tell you to use contains alcohol). Years ago a dermatologist prescribed LIDEX there is a generic that works just as well and very cheap. It is a steroid ointment but it was a life saver for me! I carry it in my purse so I have it with me at all times. I now only get hot spots on my hands from doing the dishes. I dab the spots with Lidex and they are cleared up in a couple days time.

Try taking probiotics (friendly bacteria) your health food shop will provide it. Get the refrigerated variety. Start with one capsule (break capsule open and mix with drink/milk) a day and then up to the maximum after a week or 2. Best one we have found so far is Primadophilus Reuteri (same bacteria mother's milk passes to baby) or Bifidus. Your baby's eczema may be a result of a leaky gut. My son's skin is like new and you wouldnt know he has eczema, he is nearly 5 now. He started after 15mths, when I stopped breastfeeding. Also use eco washing powders/liquids, shampoos etc If using disposable nappies change to moltex eco or like. Disposable nappies were one culprit. good luck<br><b>References : </b><br> This has worked brillantly for us – so worth a try.

He started after 15mths, when I stopped breastfeeding.

Since eczema in on the same gene as asthma you will want to eliminate the signs of it asap. My son experiences the same thing. After he gets out of the tub it flares up. We used Nutramagin for formula and that REALLY helped clear it up. Now when he gets out of the tub we literally slick him down with Johnsons baby lotion and that has helped curb it. You could try looking into his diet as that is most likely what is causing the flare ups. The doctor prescribe an ointment for us but we rarely have to use that now. He told us it is more effective anyway if we use it less often. But you may want to ask if he will prescribe that. It can be irritating for kids and with our son it is on his face which not only looks uncomfortable but looks ridiculous. Our doctor also said instead of worrying about the detergent you buy it is much more important to do a double rinse on his clothing. That has also worked wonders. Good luck and email me if you have questions.<br><b>References : </b><br> Your doc should be taking you more seriously.
