Will baby eczema commonly goes away, or is it here to stay? My son's 7 months old, and has always had the problem. If he doesn't have moisturizer on his his skin gets inflamed.
hi,
am not sure how serious the eczema is..
my new born recently had some bad rashes on both ears. i applied some benovate cream (thin layer) and put johnsons' medicated prickly heat powder thereafter.
the rashes were gone within 1 day..
if u dare to, u may use the breastmilk cure (see forum topic)..
All the best!
Are rashes the same as Eczema? It is apparently common for rashes to appear on babies - usually due to allergies, prickly heat, dirty skin etc...
My 4 month old boy just developed his first real bout of rashes... all over his back, legs and some on his chest...
Is that safe? Isn't Benovate a steroid cream?
My girl used to have rashes when she was few months old, on the back of her neck, chest and legs. So we cleaned her more often and put some powder on her. Kept her cool.
hi Jeanne,
the betnovate cream was recommended by my mum (a retired nurse). applied a very thin layer.
i just checked with my hubby (who's a doc) and he did say that actually, betnovate cream's too strong for the baby! OOPS!
anyway, the johnsons medicated powder's pretty good.
Hi there, my baby had red rashes on his face too when he was a few months old. We did not dare to apply cream on his face as he'll touch it & put into his mouth, so we followed the old folk advise- using rice water (the second wash after discarded the first wash), soaked up on a cotton & "patch" on the reddish area. After one day the reddish reduced & gone after that. No harm trying it as rice is harmless.Do you know SK-II also content rice extracted enzyme? Hope it work on your baby.
My girl has eczema. Probably inherited as my hubby has it too. I understand from the doc that some children outgrow it while some have it for life. Hopefully my girl will outgrow. As for steroids, it's better to check with the doc before using as there are side effects like thinning and inflammation of the skin. You may wish to check with the doc on non-steroid creams eg elidel which may be more suitable for babies.
Must be tough on you and hubby. Hope the eczema is under control.
