[quote=Anonymous]Take it for what is worth since my child is 4 (she just developed eczema and it was pretty bad). Her dermatologist (allergist) told me to put one cap of bleach on her baths every time, unless she had gone to the pool that day (chlorine is basically the same as bleach bath).

She also told us to use CLN body wash and to put Aveeno Eczema Therapy cream twice/day head to toe. She also said that one of these times to be just after the bath, as in, NO MORE than 3 min after the bath.

At the time we saw her, my dd's hands and arms were pretty bad so the doctor also said to slather them with Acquaphor before going to bed, then put one damp sock over it and one dry sock on top of the wet one.

I didn't do the wet sock thing for long, just the dry sock because my dd thinks the acquaphor is yucky. She is better now but I still put the aveeno 2x/day and acquaphor at night time. I stopped the steroid cream. Oh, and I also still do the bleach bath + special body wash (cln). [/quote]
