There is no known cure for eczema, however there are ways that you can help to alleviate any discomfort or itching with your little one. Most products on the market contain mineral oil and other ingredients that are known to cause dryness and irritation (alcohol, fragrance, etc). Arbonne has a great pure, safe, and beneficial baby care line (hair and body wash, lotion, body oil, diaper rash cream, and sunscreen) that is water based, botanically-based and pH correct, pediatrician and dermatologist tested, non-sensitizing, non-irritating, and formulated without nut oils. They are formulated with natural ingredients like oat flour which is an emollient and an emulsifier. It’s highly absorbent and hypoallergenic. Oat flour helps to soothe and soften dry, itchy and sensitive skin. This is what we suggest:
ABC Hair and Body Wash for the hands and body, in the bath or shower
ABC Body Oil once skin has been towel dried but left a little damp
ABC Lotion to alleviate discomfort and aggravated itch

lactose free milk
and they make an eczema infant lotion it works good
You really can’t "get rid" of eczema. The pediatrician can recommend some things to help it. They say it’s actually connected to allergies and allergy testing may need to be done in the future. There’s a company called Gentle… Nature, I think and they make a "Baby eczema" cream. It should help.
Believe or not, use crisco.
Your pediatrician can give you some hydrocortisone ointment to help. Then you should keep your child’s skin moisturized with Eucerin lotion.
I am with the lactose free milk but I think you should take the child to a dermatologist
you can’t always get rid of it
mine is permanent and nothing gets rid of it
good luck with that…..everyone gave me thier sure fire remedies for this and the only thing that worked for my baby was constant massage with cetaphil plus a prescription from her pediatrician. it is trial and error i am sorry to say. what works for one might make another worse. i hope you find something soon!
I’m not a dostor or anything, but as of now, there is now cure for Eczema, only things that could reduce the symptoms. You should talk to your doctor about safe medication for your baby as well as making sure that his/her skin is mosturized daily.
use a lotion called eucerin. my mom used it on me when i was a baby and it made my eczema go away. hope it works on your baby.
My sister has eczema, and there are certain things that can make it worse such as perfume, fake jewelery, soaps with fragrance, the button on her jeans, etc. When you bathe your baby, use cetaphil. It is safe for infants. Also, I believe there is a special cream for babies. Ask your doctor.
My daughter has been on lactose-free formula since she was 5 wks old and she still has excema. We use the Gentle Naturals Excema Cream on the major patches and a body cream by Aveeno Baby on the rest of her. Aveeno also has a Creamy Body Wash that we use on occasion. I highly recommend the Gentle Naturals, no scent, works, not expensive!
um, use hypoallergenic body/baby lotion. sometimes its not eczema. take him/her to a pediatrician.
you dont actually get rid of-you do out grow it though.
I had it when I was a baby and through my childhood- I am allergic to milk and eggs which is how my parents found out.
for me it came back this past December and January during my last few weeks of pregnancy.
good luck–your baby is very uncomfortable right now.
My son has eczema also and his doctor prescibes him cortosone it works for him.You can also get it off the shelf. Give that a try.Good luck.
