Dry skin is very common in baby eczema and is the leading cause for itchiness. This itchiness leads to scratching, which leads to open sores, which then can lead to nasty infections. I can speak from experience that you do

not want your child to get a skin infection. It can be one of the most scariest, heart wrenching, and stressful experience you and your child can go through. Just the thought of seeing your child deal with the pain and the uncertainly of whether they can recover from this conditions should bring chills to your body.

This situation can be prevented by simply by keeping your baby’s skin moisturized. Using just moisturizing lotions may not be suffice to keep their skin adequately hydrated. Baby creams or ointments that help keep the skin lubricated may be needed instead. Creams and ointments are more dense than lotions and create a lubricating layer over the skin, thus preventing the loss of moisture. My child’s skin reacted much better with natural

creams than it did with the manufacture popular creams. I’ve also learned that moisturizing my child’s skin after a bath was the best time to apply.

There are a multitude of great creams available on the market. I personally prefer the California Baby Line.

But if you don’t, just be sure you follow my recommendations on selecting a baby cream. Also reread my post about the dangerous ingredients found in baby products.

Lastly, in order for this treatment to work, you should moisturize your child’s skin every day and apply it all over the body for maximum effect. Please refrain from over applying the cream. It can get messy and you can end up having baby cream or ointment stains all over your furniture.

Should you have any question please feel free to leave me a comment or even better, talk to your child’s pediatrician. Happy Parenting!

Exploring Different Baby Eczema Treatments

December 1st, 2009

There are many avenues a parent can take to find the right baby eczema treatment. Each treatment has its pro’s and cons but each can help combat the itching, inflammation, and discharges associated with this very uncomfortable and disheartening condition. These baby eczema treatments have been designed to reduce inflammation, moisturize your baby’s skin, and help suppress severe baby eczema flare ups. And just as a reminder, these treatments can not permanently cure baby eczema.

General baby eczema treatment comes in many forms: moisturizers, itch-relief medication, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, antibiotics, light therapy, diet monitoring, and gene therapy. Each of these treatments specializes in targeting particular symptom or aspect of the disease. None the less, I don’t recommend using all these treatment for your baby’s skin. But the following is my list of baby eczema treatments that worked for my child and ones I highly recommend.

My Recommend Best Baby Eczema Treatment: Moisturizers

Moisturizing Cream (4 oz.)I am a huge advocate of moisturizing your baby’s skin with a moisturizer that contains natural Vitamin E. Moisturizers come in many different forms such as Emollients, Creams, Ointments, Soaps, and Lotions. These types of moisturizers promote and help the skin retain its natural moisture.  Moisturizers are said to be the single most important and effective health-care Eczema treatment in existence.

My #2 Recommended Baby Eczema Treatment: Diet Monitoring

I found that monitoring my baby’s diet as a form of eczema treatment worked wonders. I found this to be highly effective because this treatment helped me remove allergen foods from my child’s diet that triggered harsh eczema flare ups. Diet Monitoring requires a lot of your attention and calls for you to be very discipline. Without discipline, this treatment can have no effect.

Combining my recommended baby eczema treatment #1 and #2 brought major relief to my son. I personally didn’t have go further than these treatments to help me solve this baby eczema treatment search.

Now the next list of baby eczema treatments are treatments I’ve tried but experienced limited success. I’m exposing this list just in case you have already tried my top 2 recommendations and didn’t experience the excellent results my son had. This list is in no particular order and I strongly suggest you talk to your doctor or pediatrician and do more research on these treatments before you consider using any of them.

Other Eczema Treatments:

Antihistimines – Helps reduces itching during an Eczema flare-up.

Antibiotics  -  This baby eczema treatment will help fight off infections, should one of your baby’s open wounds get infected.

Capsaicin – Helps counteracts the itching by mitigating the body’s itch signals.

Light therapy (Not Recommended and Mainly for Adult Eczema) – This treatment exposes ultraviolet light on PUVA, UVB, and/or Narrow Band UVB to combat the symptoms of Eczema.

Photo-ChemoTherapy (Not Recommended and Mainly for Adult Eczema) -  this treatment combines efforts of light therapy and a drug called Psoralen to combat the symptoms of Eczema.

Gene Therapy (Not Recommended and Mainly for Adult Eczema) – This treatment is still fairly new and extremely expensive.

Whatever baby eczema treatment you choose, please consider all the pros and cons and talk to a qualified health professional for any questions you may have.

Looking for a Baby Eczema Cream?

November 24th, 2009

Baby SkinMoisturizing the infected area of your baby’s eczema is a very important step in providing relief for your child. To provide such great relief, you need to pick the right baby eczema cream. And Remember… “Not All Baby Eczema Creams are Created Equal.”  Like any other baby product on the market, there are some that really work and there are others that absolutely don’t do a thing and/or gives your baby some harsh side effect. I’ve personally haven’t tested or reviewed all the baby eczema creams available. But, what I can help you with is identifying the best baby eczema cream for your baby.

First off, the reality of a baby eczema cream is this… A certain cream can work beautifully for someone else child and not work for yours. The reason could be one of many factors like genetics, environment, diet, etc. This is the main reason why I haven’t given you a list of my recommended baby eczema creams. But that list will be coming soon. In the mean time I want to share with you the things I personally look for in a Cream for baby eczema.

The 1st thing I look for in a baby eczema cream is that it must contain Natural Vitamin E. To identify Natural Vitamin E, look for tocopheryl acetate or d-alpha tocopherol in the ingredients of section of the product.   If you see DL-Tocopherol or DL- tocopheryl acetate, I recommend you don’t buy the product because DL-Tocopherol is a cheaper synthetic replacement for natural vitamin E. The Human body absorbs and retains Natural Vitamin E better that its cheap counterpart.

The 2nd thing I look for in a baby eczema cream is that it must be unscented or doesn’t contain an ultra heavy perfumed scent to it. My #1 reason for this is that some scented creams contain chemicals that can potentially irritate your baby’s skin and trigger eczema flare ups. Good smelling skin is nice but moisturized un-irritated skin is even better.

The last thing I look for in a baby eczema cream is that it must not contain any steroids. This is just my preference. If your doctor or pediatrician strongly recommends steroids, then I suggest you listen to them. But what I found is that a lot of baby eczema cases don’t require the use of steroids. Some of the side effects for using steroids are: Growth suppression, discoloration of skin, Adrenal suppression, allergic reactions, and more. I personally couldn’t put my child at risk for these side effects for this steroid solution that doesn’t cure eczema.
