[quote=Anonymous]OP I feel your pain.  My DD is 14 months and we have been dealing with eczema since she was about 3 months old.  have seen allergist (she's allergic to everything we tested for) and dermatologist.  We have rx steroid creams to try to keep the eczema under control and use zyrtec and attarax as needed to help her sleep.  I have tried all kinds of lotions and creams.  Some that people swear by (Vanicream) actually make the eczema worse, so you just have to find what works best for your DD.  Lotions can be bad on broken skin because it stings.  We use aquaphor and it seems to help.

DD is taking fish oil (which I do think helps) and probiotics.  Since DD tested positive for dust mites and cat, we have dust mite cover on her mattress and an air purifier.  I don't know if either has helped.  We just got a filter for the bath to remove chlorine.  So confusing because bleach baths are supposed to be helpful, but I have heard chlorine is a trigger for some.

It is very frustrating to deal with and so hard to watch your little one suffer.  Nights are the worst for us, but it is getting better.  I hope you find something that works.  Good luck![/quote]
