What To Do For 6 Month Baby With Eczema?

by Len

My baby, who's 6 month old, had eczema around the folds of her arms,legs, back of her ears and neck a week ago. I went to see the doctor and who prescribed a cortisone topical ointment. I wasn't ready to use the steroid ointment on my baby. So, I just used Aquaphor which she recommended to rub around the baby 3 to 4 times a day (though, I applied more than that). Now, rashes are all over her cheeks, under the chin, arms, legs, neck, half part of her back and tummy. Aquaphor seemed to have worked on the folds of her arms and legs, but all the rest became worse. I'm running out of ideas of what to use. Also, before I stuck on Aquaphor, I've used Vanicream but that didn't seem to help. Also, as per an online inquiry, I've read that it's better to wash baby only with plain water, but that seemed to have made baby so hot. So, I went back to using Aveeno Creamy Wash (I'm not sure if this is okay or not). She's been using it for quite a while before the flare up. Please advise. Thank you very much for your time.

Hello Len,

First let me say that I am proud of you for refusing to put such a harmful substance on your little baby as cortisone topical ointment. There are so many side effects from using this dangerous drug which include: thinning of the skin, discoloration, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system. I highly praise you for seeking a natural alternative to help your daughter's eczema. This will make a huge difference in her recovery.

You mentioned using products such as Vanicream, Aveeno and Aquaphor, however, these creams can actually increase the skin's dryness levels because they contain mineral oil or other petroleum based by products. These ingredients have NO usefulness to the skin nutritionally and in fact, the molecules are too large to even pass the pores of the skin so the cream just sits on top and literally suffocates these pores thereby causing further dryness and damage. Further, Vanicream contains BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), which is a fat preserver found in petroleum products and worse, BHT may be carcinogenic.

Here are my recommendations for the treatment and care of your little girl's eczema condition. For bathing I recommend our FACE & BODY MOISTURIZING WASH which is a specially formulated mild cleanser that contains only herbal ingredients that are organically grown and hypo-allergenic and safe enough for baby's skin. This will begin to add moisture to her skin and soothe the skin layers. After bathing, gently pat her skin with a soft towel.

Then moisturize with our HAND & BODY THERACREAM as this is extremely important for her eczema treatment. This specially formulated cream will stop any itching while it is repairing and bringing balance back to her skin- restoring the normal function of the skin. 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 keep me posted on your baby girl's progress Len.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
