[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. You seem to be doing everything you can. I'll throw in my two cents in case a random thing clicks.

I tried all the creams and lotions and my favorite by far is Cera Ve (the cream, not the lotion), recommended by dermatologist in my family. It comes in a big round container like Aquaphor.

My child was older and had obvious gastro issues so maybe this isn't the key for you the way it was for me... I met with a nutritionist and got some high quality probiotics recommendations. We used two different probiotics for a couple of months and then just one, which we continue to use. The doses he took were many, many times higher than what the children's probiotic bottle I bought at Whole Foods recommended. (Of course I had my ped approve everything before I tried it.)

We also do a high dose of fish oil. Again, we do a "therapeutic dose," recommended by nutritionist and approved by ped.

My son had HORRIBLE eczema, a year past elimination of food allergens, and bath regime, etc, and with introduction of probiotics and fish oil it went away in a couple of weeks and never returned.   [/quote]

OP here.  We also use Cerave and like it a lot.  I like the consistency more than the cetaphil restoraderm.   I actually use Cerave myself even though I don't have eczema.    We had our DD on BioGaia probiotics for a while, but it didn't seem to make a difference in her eczema.   We could try another brand but a lot of the baby probiotics have dairy in them.  I also read that probiotics don't help eczema if the trigger is non food related.  At this point, we don't think its food related though I could try going on a strict elimination diet and see...
