Acid Mantle (Cream Mixed with Hydrocortisone) - Is It Safe?

I have a 15 month old son who has extremely sensitive skin and had horrible ezcema (sp?) since he was an infant. We found out that it was mostly caused by an allergy to pet dander so we had to give up our pug. Well, we have been using a prescription cream on him called A-Mantle since he was about 6 months old that our Pediatric Allergist prescribed (who is associated with CHOP). This cream is a hydrocortisone mixed with some other type of cream. We use it on him practically every single day (since he still has ezcema). I specifically...

Can Prolonged Use of Hydrocortisone Cream Affect Growth of Child?

Hello moms. My 18 month old boy has chronic eczema since he was 6 months old and have been using a hydrocortisone cream prescribed by our pediatrician. We have been applying this cream, a 2.5% formulation cream since he was an infant with varying degrees of eczema relief. He has needed it on a daily basis and we have been applying it twice a day to his ankles, wrists and behind the knee--the areas that are affected. We also use Aquaphor and pretoleum jelly emollients to relieve his dry skin. We have not asked our pediatrician though...

Psoriasis or Eczema

I have these patches of dry skin on my ankles. It's either Psoriasis or Eczema, I have been to the different doctors and they say both. I have tried everything I can get my hands on to get rid of it but nothing works. Some things work temporarily, but nothing long term. Please any advice on what I can use to get rid of it or at least get it under control.

Why Does My Daughter Have Mysterious Hives?

My daughter is days away from 2 and for the last 3 days she has had mysterious hives on her face, chest, belly, and back. Today she got a little bit on her legs and in her armpits. We took her to the doctor and they were stumped like me since she hasn't eaten anything new lately and we haven't changed anything about our laundry detergent, sheets, or clothes and she hasn't done anything new. We went to Arizona on November 9th and got home the 18th back to VA. While in AZ (the 15th), she got strep and was on Amoxicillin for 10 days. I'm...

Help with Son's Itchy Skin!

Hi! This is my first request on Mamasource. Both of my children have eczema (all over their bodies, but worse on their hands and feet). We have prescription steroid cream that we use when needed, but their skin never completely clears up. My son is so itchy that he wakes up at night. He is miserable and can't stop itching (mostly his feet). My daughter itches her arms and legs so much that she makes herself bleed. We have been giving my son benadryl each night, and that only seems to help for 6-8 hours. Any suggestions to get this...

Good Cleansers for Rosacea

I was told I have rosacea about a year ago. I'm having a real hard time finding cleansers that don't freak my skin out. Anything I use has to be soap free, oil free, fragrance free, the works. I typically use Oil of Olay cleansers but sometimes it's like my skin is getting used to it and not responding. I'm currently having a bad flareup and even the cream I bought over the counter specifically for rosacea isn't working. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Help with Eczema

My 6 month old was just diagnosed with eczema and I am trying to get his breakouts under control. The doctors are not so helpful on what is causing it (basically saying it could be anything). At this point my poor son is covered in the rash and can't sleep because his normal self soothing method is rubbing his face with a snuggly and his face is raw. Have any of you dealt with this? Do you have any tips other than hydrocortisone on how to sooth my poor baby?
