I have ultra sensitive skin with eczema. Can I use baby diaper rash cream for my eczema (on my body) since it’s formulated for babies which might be more gentle on sensitive skin. The cream I am looking at is 12% Zinc Oxide active ingredient.

Find a good probiotic like Primadohphilus Bifidus or Reuteri, as your eczema may be a symtom of a leaky gut.
This has helped numerous sufferers including babies.
Also use natural products on your skin, a lot of these baby creams are not as gentle and healthy for you or them.
Look under green baby website for gentle lotions.
betterlife.com for probiotics. In NZ they sell it in the health shops
Also wash clothes etc in something like ecover
yes you can try it
You can use Eucerin cream, Vaseline or Aquaphor which is made by Eucerin those are what our doctor recommends for our children. We have been using on your kids since they we’re 3 months old to help with Eczema and they work WELL!!!!
Will not do you any harm just watch that there is no Lanolin as you could be allergic to this also. Try it out first on a small inconspicuous area of skin. Also when you bathe try Oilatum in the water an excellent moisturiser and good for eczema. Also coal-tar soap not the nicest smell but again no perfumes added which could flare up the eczema.
It really won’t help, but it won’t hurt either. The absolutely best thing for eczema is NOXEMA (the old kind, not the fancy new stuff.) Noxema cream was made as a solution for eczema and is just being sold as a facial wash.
-Noxzema was originally invented by Dr. Francis J. Townsend, a doctor who lived in Ocean City, Maryland. The formula was called "Townsend R22" and commonly referred to as "no-eczema". Townsend prescribed it as a remedy to early resort vacationers burned by the sun. In order to help people outside of the resort town Townsend later gave the formula to Dr. George Bunting who for many years denied the transaction (graduate of Washington College in Maryland). Bunting introduced "Dr. Bunting’s Sunburn Remedy" as the first real alternative to the greasy, tallow-based medicating creams common during the period. For the first three years, Bunting did all the mixing, heating, and pouring of the product himself.
The inspiration for the name Noxzema supposedly came from a satisfied customer who exclaimed, "You knocked my eczema." – WIKIPEDIA
Give it a try! It will work WONDERS for you!
Yes, it’s a good choice. What you need is a good moisturizer. If Diaper Rash cream does it – use it. The next best choice would be the old plain Vaseline (aka Petroleum Jelly). If these fail – try herbal Salus2005 cream from eBay: it works for my eczema like a clockwork!
