Question:
My 5 month old has eczema on face & patches on body?
Tried everything inc cortisone nothing works. Any sugestions for home remedies or home made ointments? Is affecting his sleeping as he cant stop itching.
We don’t use any soaps or fragrences on him or anything that comes into contact with him. We only use Alpha Keri bath oil and moisterisor and occasionaly parafin. The cortisone is only 1% but realy dont like using it so dont think I would increase the cortisone strength.
It is definately eczema - it started appearing at just 2 days old when still at hospital and only breastfed. Recently spent a week in hopsital for unrelated problems and peads couldn’t offer me any more advice and waiting list for dermatologist in our area is huge…..
Answer:
First off, please, please, be sure to ask your baby’s doctor about the safety of any and all natural remedies you are advised to try - natural does NOT mean ’safe’.
That said, there are some good natural remedies - which I found here: http://www.remedies4.com/download/remedi…
