Site about eczema or Psoriasis that provides information about treating eczema and infants with eczema.
I found this site which has a lot of research and treatment ideas by a doctor who treated children for eczema for a long time.
http://treatinginfanteczema.com/ click through to the chapters on the right side for details about digagnosis and treatment for many varieties of infant eczema.
In general eczema is treatable or even curable but the "answer" is probably different for everyone: ranging from diet issues to proper oils or even clothing issues.
IF a child has Eczema it is not only abut applying Pharmac stuff,
most important is proper Allergy Testing - Not only Blood Tests
Skin Patch Test is the Best Method to search for contact allergies!
Newest studys als show, that wearing garments - especially underwear
made of super fine Merino Wool also helps in treating Eczema!

When did your child's breakout start? my child breakout start when he was around 9-10 weeks old. i saw some dry patches on legs ,arms,and face. then i went to india ,all the patches gone ,erxcept for the face. In India that time it was cold (Jan_FEb) he wore home knit woollen clothes .What i figure out as all other patches were gone ,he got this big patch crusty due to wool as he rub his eyes ,moving hands that patch got rubbibg constantly (friction)due to woollen.So i am not sure its due to different weather or WOOLlen is the cause of small dry patch to become such a big crusty red oozing thing.There i did home remedy as well as homeopathic treatment for 1 month during my India stay but so far nothing .Some days i felt his patch is recovering,somedays same old.Now he is 20 weeks old.
What other medications have you used on your child and are you still using them in conjunction with the Burt's Bees cleansing regimen? I used only Hydrocortisone .5% just for 4 days ,it flares up again.Nothing i am using with BUrt bees cleansing regimen.
Did you notice some sign of improvement immediately with the Burt's Bees lotion? (I ask this question to determine whether or not your baby is allergic to the lotion) Yes i, saw some improvement like lightening of the patch and less oozing ,but that i saw last week also during Burt bee treatment (it again flares now)and during homeopathic treatment also.
Do you have pets? No
Did your child develope a breakout after an immunization? not sure
Are dust mites an issue in your environment? No
Appreciate your time for valueable information.Eczema is one of the most common skin disorders. Statistics suggest that amazingly one of every ten adults suffer from this skin condition. And the sad fact is that children are afflicted more by eczema. The occurrence can be as high as one in every five children. And childhood experience of eczema can be a very irritating one.
Eczema is not a contagious disease and it is very much curable. There is eczema treatment for all kinds of eczema, be it atopic eczema, allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, infantile seborrhoeic eczema, adult seborrhoeic eczema or any other form of eczema. Eczema can happen to any age group and for all age of patients, eczema treatment is possible.
First there is the atopic eczema and it is the most common of all the types of eczema. As many a one in five children may suffer from atopic eczema. This eczema type is considered to be hereditary. Contact eczema is another type of eczema, that develops when you have been in contact with something that your skin does not approve of. It has similar symptoms to atopic eczema. Another type of eczema is the allergic contact eczema. Most of the people that suffer from this eczema are not born with this sensibility, but develop it in time. Irritant contact eczema is caused by daily contact with some substances that can irritate your skin, like detergents.
Causes of Eczema:
1] Atopic eczema occurs due to genetic problems, contact eczema occurs due to skin's sensitivity towards external factors.
2] Anti inflammatory drugs can also be taken in cases of an eczema.
3] Some scientists have also discovered the gene which is responsible for dry skin, which immediately leads to an eczema. The same gene that leads to eczema is also responsible for asthma. It is mostly associated with Asthma and Hay Fever.
4] The flare ups that are very characteristic with eczema are caused by many different things. These include contact with certain fabrics, materials, chemicals, animals, and soaps and detergents.
5] One of the causes behind eczema is digestive dysfunction, or, acidity. If you want to cure eczema, you need to cure acidity first.
Following are some tips for dealing with eczema:
1] There are many natural remedies to help calm the symptoms of eczema. One of the most popular ones is Aloe Vera. Aloe is awesome for the skin and will help you to feel much better.
2] Another one is lemon juice. Lemon juice, when applied to the affected area, will help to heal the skin.
3] Lifestyle habits such as regular application of moisturisers and cleansers play an important role in eczema treatment.
4] Neem is said to be very effective for eczema. You can use Neem oil or search for creams that contain Neem oil.
5] Modifying your diet is the first and foremost thing that you should do. You should start eating foods that contain alkali.
The key to learning about your type of eczema and treating your type of eczema is to get the proper diagnosis. Lots of people do not have the money to go to the doctor and find out what type of eczema they have.
My Child had also sever eczema for about 7 years - the doctors always described Steroid creams,
But one thing that really omproved the situation was wearing underwear of Merino Wool!
It is really one of the best most natural fabrics for the Skin!
