How to treat Infant eczema?

My 3 month old baby was suffering from eczema , i tried creams suggested by doctor but it was not effective at all.

Some old lady told me to apply mother milk , i applied my milk on cheeks during every breast feed and i was so surprised to find the results only in 2 days.

My milk work wonder for baby,it was really amazing to know the old secret to cure eczema in child.

Hi! I've a baby girl, Marcie, who has eczema since 2 weeks old. Understand perfectly how difficult it is to manage our children's eczema, particularly those who are too young to not scratch (even my hubby scratches his eczema, what more a child?)
I have a blog http://eczemablues.com and in the midst of starting a support group for parents with eczema children (I live in Singapore). If you are interested in joining, do visit the link below

I know the best product that does absolute WONDERS for eczema or any kind of rash. I have a friend who has a three year old son, and he suffers with eczema, and she used the RENEW INTENSIVE SKIN CARE. AWESOME stuff, believe me!!
You have to enroll and become a preferred customer to get the stuff, but it is very inexpensive.
Only a one time fee, and your good.
My daughter would get a weird itchy rash of raised bumps on the arches of her feet. She would roll back and forth in agony with it, and I spent many sleepless nights with her b/c of it.
I used the Melaleuca product, and in seconds the itch was GONE, she turned over and went to sleep, and her rash disappeared. It was amazing.
If you want to know how to get some of this amazing stuff, just contact me and I'll tell you where to go and how you can get it even cheaper.

A very insightful article about eczema http://healthychild.org/blog/comments/my_little_seed_a_story_of_eczema_a...

I have had eczema from birth and wouldn't recomend steroid based creams because eventually everyone develops immunity to steroids, and if your child has infant eczema, chances are it will be a lifelong disease. Steriods stopped working for me around age 25, since then it has been an ongoing quest for other natural treatments...

The best thing I've found has been bathing in sea water. The salt in sea water has natural anti-inflamatory properties, and will both heal the skin quickly and reduce itchiness. If you live near the coast, take your child to the beach and bathe him for a few hours. If you put him in the water and then take him out, it will probably sting quite a bit (it's essentially pouring salt into an open wound) as the water evaporates on the skin, leaving only the salt behind, this can be painful. Only way to deal is to grit your teeth and bear it, or you can put him back in the water, which will soothe the stinging.

If you can't make it to the beach you can try making a salt bath at home for him, just be sure to buy the right kind of salt. I bought some very expensive bath salts from Savon, only to find that I got a terrible eczema rash from bathing in it, probably because of the perfumes and oils they add to the salt. If you bathe him at home, just be sure not to make the water too hot, because hot water will set off an 'itch cycle' and increase inflamation. Really, the best thing is to bath in cold water, but who can bear that?! Luke warm should be ok.

Good luck, hope it works out for you.

It is very painful to see your infant suffering from such disease, eczema. I read all the comment but got confused. I could not find the exact cause of it. Please anyone tell me what are the causes of eczema? Is there one or many more? Also which is the best solution for it? A scientific step by step discussion by expert will be more helpful.

superb... very simple treatment...... Let me try this and I post the true conclusion....

Thanks

this is the ONLY thing that worked for me and I had eczema for years (tried everything else).
it's topilene - glucocorticoid 0.05% glycol cream. now my son has it and it works on him as well.

good luck!

I have figured out that any soaps with animal fat really break out my daughter which most store bought soaps are made with animal fats so look for vegan soaps or vegetable fat based soap..
I also witched to all natural cleaners. I did mess up and she got a hold of some regular soap and we have been paying for it since, she is a solid red rash. The presricption we used burns her when we use it. Benedyl burns, lotions burn. The zyrtec they make such a big deal over I honestly think makes her worse.. Last night she was bad but I gave her Zyrtec and this morning she is twice as bad. This happens every time I give it to her.. Why?

You have to find the right balance between cortisone and moisturizers, it is never easy to treat infant eczema. Good luck sweetie.

hi,
I have terrible eczema too and i know how miserable your baby is.I had a pharacist mix me up something and mine cleared up right away for years then it came back with a vengence I might add . I
went back to the pharmacy and the man had retired and no one knew what I was talking about.One night I couldn't sleep because my hand were itching so bad so I decided to search the net for homepathic remedies thinking maybe I had something in my home that would help when I came across a site called www.Freederm.com .They described how a pharmacist made them up a concoction and how well it worked and they decided to market it .I swear to you this stuff will work.I do NOT sell it Nor do I profit in any way for recommending it. I only tell people because it works.They have several pictures of people including babies with horrific cases of eczema and in as little as 3 days it's almost gone! If you send in before and after photos they will send you a free jar and they have a money back guarentee.Please for your baby's sake go check out their site. I ordered the package with the soap ,cream and the moisturizer.Now I use Aveeno for eczema lotion instead of theirs simply because it's available at my local drugstore and it works for me .I recommended this to a friend for her grandbaby (she has it so bad that grandma cries with her) she bought it and called me the next day after she tried it to thank me and said they could already see a major improvement and the baby was not crying anymore ...Good Luck....
