[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]Hydrocortisone works on the flare ups.[/b] Aquaphor ointment works well to protect the skin. I still put it on my baby’s cheeks and all over after baths. Once the skin is clear you can transition to something like aveeno lotion for maintenance. Also, I rarely use soap. My baby’s eczema improved a lot after I started with epsom salt baths. I only use baby shampoo on his hair as needed. Regular baths are just water and a cup of Epsom salts.[/quote] YES THIS. Get some hydrocortisone and use it. I was resistant to putting that one my baby's face, but after I finally DID and it worked I felt so guilty for letting him be so itchy for so long. This is the only thing that will clear red, scaly, inflamed skin. After that you can go into maintenance mode with an eczema lotion (we like Eucerin) but first you need a steroid cream to heal the skin.[/quote]
