Good Morning,
I have a 2 year old boy who has been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis since he was 1 year old. He is also allergic to eggs, fish, and watermelon from what we know of now. His eczema last year was very bad but now it has gone to other areas of his body.
One of the two areas is the groin area. He is very itchy and nothing seems to help in this part of his body.
Second problem area is the scalp. This part of his body along with the groin were not an issue until about 4 months ago. His scalp is very itchy and he has dry loose flakes or dandruff.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi, I found your site after searching about how bad hydrocortisone is. Our poor little two year old was suffering with red awful eczema over 90% of her body. We had used loads of different lotions, with the help of Dietitians, specialists, naturopaths etc. only to have had to continue to put hydrocortisone on and she became all patchy and half bleached! I ordered your products for our poor little Peggy and her skin is quickly improving and we are so happy. Many Thanks!

My daughter who is 9 has developed this large patch of extreme dry skin on her head. I thought at first it was cradle cap but now my son has it. However, his is in smaller patches on different spots of his head. She has it in one large area. My daughter does have eczema, but this is different. Also she hasn't lost hair but my son has. Please help if you can. The kids have a skin doctor appointment but it's over a month away. Sincerely, Lisa P., PHILADELPHIA PA

My son has had eczema since he was an infant. Recently, maybe about a year ago I noticed very visible light spots on his right cheek and a couple weeks ago I noticed his nose beginning to lighten up as well. I do not know what to do. I have an appointment with a dermatologist but feel I should not take him to receive the harsh chemical creams she may prescribe. Please help.

Hi Nanette,
My name is Cynthia and I have a 2 yr old daughter that has been suffering with eczema since she was 4 months old. I just wanted to know of any special tips or creams I should stay away from or use more often, if there are healthy things I can use on her body and how to control a break out when she gets one. This skin problem is very stressful. I don't know what to do any more and I do everything I can for my kids and I'm only 20 years old myself I just want this nightmare to end for my baby and live like all other 2 yr old babies do. I went through lotions, creams, prescriptions and nothing seems to work and that is what makes it even harder because I really am trying for my daughter and I just feel like I'm stuck and have nowhere else to turn- A desperate mother

My daughter is 4 months old and she has got eczema- she is all red and her skin looks quite bad. She has got it on the body and face. I am using hydrocortisone 0.5 %.but I am not happy with it at all, especially that I know it is not the best cure. Is there any natural product that I can use on her skin, that can eventually make a difference?

Hello,
I used hydrocortisone on my 4 month old baby's eczema spots and now he has 2 white marks on his little belly. It is very clear because his skin is a little dark. What can I do/use to bring his natural color back to those 2 spots?
Any advice is truly appreciated.

Hi,
We have a 2 month old daughter and she has developed a rash on her face and neck that started in her 5th week. When she is active the rashes are more prominent and she starts itching it. We have visited doctors and one doctor told us it was cradle cap and another said it could be baby acne and might be early stages of eczema as well. Now her rash started spreading to her shoulders and chest as well. Today one doctor advised us to apply hydrocortisone and while looking up about the hydrocostisone I came across your website and read the reviews. Please do tell me which products I should use for this rash.

You have no idea how bad my son's eczema was! It has been an ongoing problem in just this one spot behind his right knee since he was about two months old. Steroids would make it go away quickly, but it would always return just as quickly as soon as I stopped using the steroids. I ordered your My Daughter's Hand & Body TheraCream and I kept using it several times a day (basically at most diaper changes but at least before and after bed) and it is so much better and, more importantly, I have peace of mind knowing I'm not allowing potentially harmful steroids to be absorbed through his delicate young skin. Thank you!!

Hello,
My 11 month son has a yeast infection, and I have tried several things but nothing has worked, and it just seems to be spreading even more.
I have gave him warm baths with apple cider vinegar, putting the Nystatin cream, and hydrocortisone.
I have an appointment with his pediatrician on Monday, but I would like to know what can I use in the meantime. Is there anything over the counter you would recommend?
I would really appreciate your help, we have been dealing with this for over 4 weeks.
Thanks, PS

I just found out that my daughter has a mild case of eczema and her doctor gave me hydrocortisone cream to put on it 2 to 3 times a day. He said that it was OK to put on her cheek on the little spot she had. So I did and within a few hours I noticed that where I had applied the cream it had lightened her face. I now feel really bad and am afraid that I ruined my daughters face up for life! Will the lightening of that spot go away or is there anything I can do to help her natural color come back to her face?

Hi Nanette,
My 5 month old daughter has eczema on her face and hands. I use hydrocortisone 1% for the last 2 months but she gets the rash back if I stop using it. I heard hydrocortisone makes the skin thinner so now I'm trying to avoid it but her skin is getting worse if i stop using it. Can you please tell me what to do?

Hello,
I have a son who has had on and off eczema since he was born. He is now 19 months and has had a big break out. I used to relate it to teething but I am now in the middle of doing a food test to see if he is allergic to dairy/wheat.
My question is we have been using a cortisone cream (sparingly) and now he seems to have hypo-pigmentation. I am wondering if it will go away? We have spent a little time in the sun and he has a little tan so I thought it may be where the eczema and cream may have renewed itself.
What are your thoughts? Thanks - Taryn

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.

My 6 week old baby boy has a horrible rash on his face, neck, ears and chest. His pediatrician says it's eczema and to treat it with Eucerin cream, clean it with Aveeno cleansing therapy and follow up with Aveeno eczema skin cream. Well I did that for about three weeks. Nothing worked and his skin only got discoloration and worse!! I just received my package today from Aim 2 Health. The Face & Body Wash as well as the Face & Neck TheraCream and I'm so excited to see how this works!! I've taken my before shots and can't wait to see the results for the after shots. I'll keep u posted.. #fingerscrossed.

My 7 year old daughter has had eczema on different parts of her body and she once had it on the lid of her eye. The doctor gave me a cortisone cream but I was very worried using it near her eyes as the pharmacist told me to be careful not to rub her eye as it could cause blindness. I couldn't help but tell myself how can they give me such a dangerous cream? So I stopped using it. She also had dry skin on her elbows, on the ankles, at the end of her scalp in the back of her head, under the hair right at the top of the back neck. She has not stopped scratching (the poor thing), day and night. While she is sleeping I even noticed she gets sweaty and hot and of course this makes it worse. I have tried every single product in pharmacy that you can imagine (or almost), which mentions anything to remove or helps relief eczema, I also had cortisone cream as the doctor prescribed, but it didn't work very well and it came back after a couple of weeks, so I decided to stop it. I used your products and my little girl now has relief and you can't believe how that makes me feel as a mom!! Thank you!!

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 horribile 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. 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

Hello,
I have a 2 year old grandson with eczema, really bad at times. He is going for allergy testing next month because of a severe allergic reaction to cashew. I need all the help and suggestions you can give us. He can't sleep most nights for itching, sometimes all over. Hands, ankles, toes, upper thighs and armpits are the worst. Scalp is really dry/flaky/itchy all due to cashew allergies, can we use tea tree oil??????
He sees a dermatolgist also and he is on a couple of new creams. He takes prednisone occasionally as well as benadryl every night and zyrtec every morning. HELP, IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY.

I was hoping you could help, my son has hypo-pigmentation that the dermatologist said is post inflammatory due to eczema. I also have eczema so I'm pretty well versed on keeping him moisturized all the time (I used both Calendula ointment and Vaseline multiple times daily). I have used Hydrocortisone 1 or 2% ointment on him when it gets red and scaly but then I try to stop as soon as it starts to heal. Any recommendations?

My doctor recently prescribed me cortisone cream for my 4 month old daughter's eczema on her cheek. He did not tell me of the negative side effects, all the pharmacist said was to only use it once a day until it goes away. All of my friends and family have warned me about the cream, so I am hoping you will be able to tell me of some herbal cream or something else I can do to prevent it.
I have some special 'soap' with pumpkin in it and some 'body butter' for eczema (non scented) from Rocky Mountain Soaps Company. I have been using it, and the eczema still comes back on her cheek, just in one spot, but it gets bad, very red, bumpy, then pusses, and sometimes bleeds of she scratches it.
Please enlighten me on something better I can use!
Thank-you so much in advance!

My 1 year old has eczema and her dermatologist prescribed hydrocortisone cream 2%. I had no idea of the side effect of her losing pigment in her skin. She now has two tones of color on her knees, legs and elbows. This is horrible and will cause major problems for her when she gets older with her self-confidence. Please help! Can you recommend anything that will bring the pigment back??

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% 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!

Hi Aim 2 Health staff especially Nanette..
:) I would like to thank you all for helping me solve my daughter's eczema soreness. My daughter has been having bad eczema only on her face and it is really painful for me to see my little baby going through so much pain. I managed to chance upon you guys as I was researching about the steroid cream my doctor prescribed to my daughter. Imagine the rude shock I had finding out about the side effects of it....and yes steroids only made her skin more sore after each relapse. Finding your website is a MIRACLE for me...! I also recommended your products to my parents a few days back and ordered for them. Will let you know of the outcome. My mum has been having psoriasis for nearly 25 years and I really hope this will be her miracle too after trying hundreds of products.
Thank you once again Aim 2 Health! Regards, Nurul

I have a 5 month old who is suffering from Eczema since she was 2 months. My doctor recommended Flutivate, cortisone ointment that worked in clearing up the eczema but now her skin has lightened in those areas and left oval white patches all over her body. What should we do to treat this condition? I am very worried about my daughter growing up with these marks on her body! Thanks in advance for your help.

Her whole body is dry, but especially her tummy and her face and ears. My doctor recommended almond and coconut oil today so I will try that. I used a little hydrocortisone cream on her on a few areas and it only seemed to make her skin bright red and thin looking.

I purchased 'My Daughter's Hand and Body TheraCream' and the 'Face and Body Moisturizing Wash' for my 2 year old son's skin condition. He has had horrible eczema patches since he was just a few months old and nothing has worked. His eczema was a LARGE patch he has always had on his upper thigh near his buttocks. The results are amazing! We did see great improvement after using your products and I am absolutely shocked. We have tried so many products that promise to help with difficult skin conditions and this was the ONLY ONE that improved his skin! Thank you so much for producing such an amazing product that is safe for children. P.S.....I also used your cream on my eye lid because I have periodic extreme dry patches that pop up every now and then. These products also worked magic for my problem!!.

Hey Nanette,
I have a 6 month old baby girl with eczema on her cheeks and her arms and it's causing myself and my partner a lot of stress as well as my little girl.
I have been to the General Practitioner three times this month and they gave me steroid creams which work great for one week - although when we stop using the creams the rash comes back even worse.
I am living in Ireland and want to know how do I purchase your product.

Dear Nanette,
I have a 5 months old son and he has eczema all over the body and seborrheic dermatitis on his head which weeps sometimes and leaves a sticky liquid on his head. He is very distressed about that and can't sleep at nights. With the eczema I am not that worried but I used hydrocortisone cream as well but now I don't use it because of all the stories behind hydrocortisone.
My main concern is the head where it has seborrheic dermatitis and the worst areas are the back of the neck where the hair finishes and skin starts. If I take him to the doctor the doctor will prescribe hydrocortisone which I don't want to use.
What should I do?
Please help me!
Thanks.

My daughter has been suffering with redness in her neck creases, armpits and groin area on and off for many months now. She also has dry skin over a lot of her body. The doctor has given various anti fungal and hydrocortisone creams. These work but as soon as I stop applying them the redness is back. My daughter is itching so it's obviously uncomfortable for her. It's red raw and looks very sore. I live in the UK and I notice the advised products are in dollars. Would you be able to recommend to me what type of creams to use so I can see if I can find them in the UK? She is 11 months old. Thank you.
