M.T.
one of my sons has eczema and did since he was young. they were concerned that maybe he was allergic to milk or soy so I cut that out completely of my and his diet for a long time. The eczema remained. We tried several prescriptions and nothing helped. I was warned that one of them (can't recall which one) did weaken the skin. Finally I made an appointment with the dermatologist at Children's Memorial as well as the allergist there. I got into the allergist first who did skin tests. NOT allergic to milk or soy. He simply has eczema (again not related to milk or soy). She gave him a prescription of something that is 0.1 but I have the generic so I don't know what it is. When there is a breakout, I usually put a little amount in the evening and cover that with Aquaphor.... gone in about 2 days. Seems that the heat make it worse. So, be cautious with the cream. We love Aquaphor! I would recommend making an appointment with the pediatric dermatologist (long wait!) or trying some of the home remedies or both - if you make the appointment and try the home remedies and it goes away then cancel the appt. I am not a homeopathic type person but I always worry about drugs when they are babies.
