my daughter has ecsema which wasnt a problem before. She use to have these little dime size rosy spots on her cheek that would go away when we would rub hydrocortizone on the spots but…my daughter contracted this viral disease that gave her rash ALL over her body and what use to be dime size spots are now a beard and all over her elbows. I need to take her to a pediatric dermatologist and I want to know, did anyone have similar problems with ecsema and what did you use to relieve the itching and the rash? and did anyone take their child to a pediatric derm before? my daughter is only 6 months.

My son has eczema too since birth and he is 3. I have tried everything. Nothing takes it completely away but it does get better. as he has gotten bigger the patches on his body have gotten smaller. He gets it on both elbows, behind his knees, his eyelids, and sporadic patches on his body. We were given eladil at first, it didn’t work and then it was banned. Prescription cortisone is the only thing that seems to work. Also, if it is looking especially oozy, I put neosporin on it because it gets infected from the baby scratching at it. I wash his clothes in scent/dye free detergent, give him aveno oatmeal baths…..any kind of soap makes him break out, cortisone then aqaphor cream to moisturize. The funny thing is, they say it is from dryness but when we lived in las vegas for a year, his skin had gotten so much better. I really think it’s outside allergies for him.
my doctor told me to rub eucerin cream two to three times a day on my baby and then on the real bad spots aquaphor- it works like a dream
