re: Kids and eczema - update page 2

My boy is 9 months and his settled down around 6 months with a few minor flashes of it here and there but nothing like the first 6 months.he had it bad on his head and legs.

Why worked best for us was the Hydrocortisone and our Dr had us lathering him 3 times daily with Cytephel cream. So much he was like a fish to hold. It helped for sure but he eventually has “grown” out of it I think... the hydrocortisone is needed every so often now but I promise it will get better for you. It’s tough to watch as a parent.

We’d wake up and find blood spots in his crib from him scratching so much and scabs in his head.

Also, another piece of advice given to us was only room tempature water for baths and no longer than 5 minutes. The warm water opens the pours which helps intensify eczema.
