ecxzema under nose remedy I haven't thought of?

Anonymous
My DS (7) always gets a terrible red, raw patch of eczema and irritation when he gets a cold. Currently treating it with frequent vaseline and 2x/daily OTC cortisone ointment after a gentle cleansing with warm water. Is there anything else I can do?

We use A and D ointment. The lanolin and petroleum jelly mix is richer and stays on longer than just petroleum jelly.

sometimes cortisone can make it worse. Try everything but that for a few days and see if it helps.

I swear by a combo of Eucerin eczema cream with Aquaphor layered on top. DD and I are both prone to bad patches of eczema, and this is what works for us.

Any kind of cream really stings! Is there a similar ointment?

I would definitely stop the cortisone treatment.

I swear by babyganics lip and face balm.

Figure out what foods are associated with it. Wheat causes me to have it...

Cerave Eczema Creamy Oil is the only cream that doesn’t sting my son’s super sensitive eczema skin. It’s amazing, if you haven’t tried I highly recommend it. It’s runny, but it really works for us.

Eucrisa has worked amazingly for us. It's a cream, but not a steroid. Also Eucerin Skin Calming lotion has worked better for us than their eczema cream.

+1

Eggs & milk are culprits here.

Ask dr for ointment.

Or try neosporin. Or the curad silver solution ointment. Don’t eat these though.

Have you tried "liquid bandage" on the area before it flares?

I was going to suggest silicone patches for scars or wrinkles. It's definitely visible but if your kids is small perhaps it won't be a big deal.

Gold bond eczema cream. Works great.
