Eczema On My Baby

by Tracey
(MO, USA)

Hi Nanette,

I have an 8 month old with eczema on her face and nape of neck. I have tried countless "miracle" creams with little to no success. My daughter recently had a horibile flare up that included areas that got hives. Not knowing what to do, I took her to a pediatric dermatologist. He of course, gave a prescription cortisone cream. Well, I put it on her a total of 3 times over 2 days, and her face feels smooth, but oh my word it is so RED RED RED, it looks burnt. I am horrified I put that poison on her and will not put it on again! So my question is: What specifically do you recommend? I am so disheartened by how much money I have spent on products with NO RESULTS. I will mention that the soap I currently use on her is DR. Bronner's unscented baby Hemp Castille Soap. She is breastfed, and in her solid foods (which are all organic), she gets 1/2 tsp of Cod Liver Oil, and a 1/4 tsp of a infant Probiotic given to me by my Naturopath. I am desperate for help, any info would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,
Tracey

Hi Tracey,

First let me say that I am very glad that you have stopped using the cortisone cream on your daughter as you have found out it is more detrimental than helpful. The body will respond more readily with natural ingredients with long lasting results.

The two products I would recommend for your daughter are: our FACE & BODY WASH which is a most gentle cleanser especially for such a young baby. In fact, we have had customers use this and our creams on their newborn babies with cradle cap, psoriasis and other skin conditions. Next, rub in a small amount of our FACE & NECK THERACREAM which is specially formulated for the more delicate and thinner areas of the face and neck. At first, you can even add a bit of sterile water to her first few applications to thin the cream somewhat and gradually add less water until you are applying full strength. This cream is very soothing and has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties as it relieves itching and repairs the skin rather quickly.

Having had a number of KIOSKS, I and my staff would have the great pleasure of seeing moms and dads bring their children back to see us after only 3 to 5 days to show us how well their children's conditions were healing. Our products have a high success rate to which we are very thankful and proud of.

I think all the other things you are doing for her diet are tremendous and I do encourage you to keep this up. If you have any other questions Tracey know that I am here for you!

Warm Regards,
Nanette
