Baby Eczema or Allergy

Hi Nanette,

I used Hydrocotisone on my baby since she was 2 months old, and now she is 6 months old. I need to use it every other day to reduce the redness and bumps on her face, legs and arms. I honestly don't want to use chemicals on my baby but if I stop using hydrocotizone 1% plus Aquaphor in between she scratches a lot.

Last time I tried to use an oil called Ecza salve from an organic store and my baby got a terrible allergy from it. I also tried coconut oil on her before and it just did not work. Her face turned all red and stretchy.

She is taking Enfamil as main formula now.

Please help!

Thank you so very much!

Response To: Baby Eczema Or Allergyco
by: Nanette From Skin-Remedies.com

Hello,

I certainly understand your frustration! I tell parents that if you suspect that your child might have a certain allergy to keep a journal to record the response the eczema may have as you determine what may be triggering the condition. It truly is sad that too many doctors do not reveal the scope of dangerous side effects from using hydrocortisone cream! I am appalled at the number of doctors who continuously prescribe steroid creams and neglect to tell patients that there are proven, dangerous side effects! Not only this, but hydrocortisone and other potent steroid creams should only be used for SHORT TERM usage. All forms of steroid creams produce potential side effects and health hazards. Some of these side effects include: thinning and discoloration of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system. The body will respond more readily with natural ingredients with long lasting results.

Here is what I strongly recommend for your baby's condition: For bathing I recommend our FACE & BODY MOISTURIZING WASH which is a specially formulated mild cleanser that contains only herbal ingredients that are hypo-allergenic and safe enough for baby's skin. This will begin to add moisture to her skin and soothe inflammation in the skin layers. After bathing, gently pat her skin with a soft towel.

Then moisturize with our HAND & BODY THERACREAM for the body and our FACE & NECK THERACREAM for the face as this is extremely important for her rash condition. These specially formulated creams will stop any itching while it is repairing and bringing balance back to her skin - restoring the normal function of the skin. Apply as needed. Remember that the body truly responds to natural ingredients.

You can also choose to add a little sterile water to the cream before applying it to your young daughter. You really will be amazed at how quickly these products work and the soothing effect it has immediately on the skin. We have moms and dads across the globe using these 2 products with tremendous success!

Please let me know how your little girl is progressing.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
