Eczema is not just dry skin. it is directly linked to allergies. (Do your research)My son has food allergies & eczema. Try him on Nutramigen made by Enfamil. That’s what my son is on. Didn’t clear up the eczema 100%, but it made a big difference.
Also, is your son having any other symptoms? runny nose, cough, tummy troubles? all these can be signs of allergies to the formula/food too.
Good Luck!

Eczema is not an allergic reaction its dry skin.
Give him some time it might just be the change in about 2 weeks if it is still their then tell the doctor that he needs to be taken off that and but on something different…….i hope it gets better.
I am not sure. I have seen a lotion advertised called Sarna Sensitive anti-itch lotion for dry skin and eczema. That could help soothe him a bit. It is sold at pretty much any drug store (Rite Aid, Walgreens ect.) You could also ask the pharmacist at the drug store for suggestions. I don’t think it is the formula causing the eczema. Eczema is not an allergic reaction, it is a skin disease.
Good Luck!!
Eczema is NOT an allergic reaction, it is a skin disease. It could possibly be the climate.
