[quote=Anonymous]My DD has eczema and we apply Vaseline after her bath. You need to apply it within about 3 minutes after they get out of the water to keep the moisture in. Pat dry, no rubbing. And every time she gets her hands wet (i.e., washes her hands, plays with water), we try to put another layer of Vaseline on. We've tried the other creams etc (Vanicream, Cerave, Aquaphor) but Vaseline works and it's cheap (we use a LOT of it). We also use prescription steroid ointments when she has a flare-up (not too often as they cause the skin to thin, and I don't think they're indicated for facial use), as well as prescription anti-histamine to help her sleep at night when she's too itchy. Check with your dr for these.[/quote]
