Hi,my baby is nearly 5 month old and is developing eczema in his face ,please is there effective treatment?

To begin with, you need to get prescription from your GP for an emollient to put on your baby's skin plus Oilatum (an oil to add to the bath which will mosturise the skin, and a mild steroid cream to control the flare-ups of Eczema. I recommend going to the GP for the prescription so that you won't have to pay,as children prescriptions are free and these products will get costly over the months. Also, keep your baby's skin well hydrated by adding Oilatum oil to his bath and once you have dried him, smother him with an emollient.however, if you dont get on with the emolliet you have been prescribed, you could try a different one. Many parents use 50/50 white ParaffinHi,my baby is nearly 5 month old and is developing eczema in his face ,please is there effective treatment?
Yes, don't let him take long baths. Just enough to get clean and get out. Sitting in water for a long time makes it get worse. After he is out of the bath, put creamy baby oil all over his body. Then lotion him. Then Aveeno for baby makes a cream for eczema. It works great. Also Johnson %26amp; Johnson has this little stick balm that smooths and protects their skin. At target it is located in the baby section with all the bath stuff and lotions. Put that on him every time he goes out side. Keep his face protected from the cold wind. In the summer he will get better.Hi,my baby is nearly 5 month old and is developing eczema in his face ,please is there effective treatment?
Poor little mite, try putting on scratch mits to stop the damage from itching and sudocrem is good for moisturising provided you don't get it in eyes or mouth. You could also take the baby to see your gp or health visitor to confirm it is only eczema.
Hi I have got eczema and so has my partner and my 2 daughters, we use Oilatum. You can buy this from the supermarket but it is quite expensive so i would suggest going seenig your GP and asking could he/she prescribe some for him. Hope this helps.
Our Pediatrician said soaking in the water during baths was good for it.


He also told us to use hydrocortisone cream, but be sure to apply it three times a day, otherwise it might not help.
They prescribed a hydrocortizone cream for my son. It has worked wonders!
My son's Dr. prescribed him Locoid cream. It is pretty expensive, but it cleared it up in no time!
My son has it on his legs, I use a product cause infaderm is for baby eczema, its really good.
you may need to change his milk to counter act this condition it is hereditary and either you or your husbands eczema now and when you were young will be a indication as to how severe your baby's eczema will be
