My son, 2 years old, has excema since birth. Finally, a physician suggested olive oil after a bath (especially on the scalp). Works wonders. We use a calming creme with brand name "Eucerin" as a body lotion on his trunk and back. Only on inflammed areas, we use Cortizone-10 Creme with aloe.
Our protocol has worked for us. Bathing every other night. After bath, use olive oil on the scalp, Eucerin on the body, and Cortizone cream on inflammed areas only.
