I was gonna say it sounds like my LO's eczema. I've been using something called CJ's Butter and it's SO much better in two days. We also use that Babyganics eczema cream wash </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-reaction-or-eczema#post-820368 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:11:55 +0000 pl0508 820368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: so glad she's clearing up ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-reaction-or-eczema#post-820354 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:10:02 +0000 shopaholic 820354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UPDATE: So I definitely think it was a bad reaction even if it is also eczema. After bath and I noticed she actually got a diaper rash (I think?) for the first time, I reverted back to the same stuff we've used since birth. BabyGanics soap and Coconut Oil slathered all over her body head to toe! I hadn't used any of the BabyGanics eczema cream on her back and her back was spotless. This morning her chest looked waaaaay better and the spots on her head are gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-reaction-or-eczema#post-816630 Wed, 29 May 2013 21:19:53 +0000 MrsScallop 816630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guess would be eczema that has gotten inflamed due to the cream you put on it. My LO had an awful rash that looked like a mass of tiny red dots all over her neck that just got worse (meaning much redder and more bumps) when we put anything on it and dry and flaky when we left it alone. When we took her to the doctor for it, he said it was inflamed eczema and gave us a steroid prescription for it. That was the only thing that cleared it up. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-reaction-or-eczema#post-816604 Wed, 29 May 2013 20:54:19 +0000 shopaholic 816604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: Eek! I hope the Aquaphor doesn't make it worse! Nothing changed. Detergent, etc. It's just been drier and a little windy here. Even my own eczema is flaring up a little bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-reaction-or-eczema#post-816536 Wed, 29 May 2013 20:27:04 +0000 SugarplumsMom 816536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think it's hard to tell. But when I tried Aquaphor (after my ped nurse friend kept recommending it for DD) it had gotten worse! My LO reacted so bad to Aquaphor! I wish I checked on a small part of her skin first (like her left leg or whatever) before putting it all over. </p> <p>Did you try anything different, like using a different detergent? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-reaction-or-eczema#post-816499 Wed, 29 May 2013 20:09:40 +0000 pl0508 816499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I think that if it was a reaction it would've been on her whole body and not just chest ?? We tried everything for J's eczema. It was red and blotchy/bumpy (raised) and vanicream cleared it up for good ! He's sooooo soft now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-reaction-or-eczema#post-816497 Wed, 29 May 2013 20:09:02 +0000 mrs. wagon 816497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>rashes are so tough :( so hard to tell what's causing it and what is making it better or worse.</p> <p>I have tried the babyganics cream as well as aveeno eczema cream and neither did anything. So we're sticking with aquaphor for now. I'm ready to call the pediatrician and ask what more we can do though. At the last check he said to just aggressively moisturize, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-reaction-or-eczema#post-816490 Wed, 29 May 2013 20:06:29 +0000 tysonja 816490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh poor baby!! :( i hope she feels better soon! </p> <p>no experience, but hopefully others do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-reaction-or-eczema#post-816486 Wed, 29 May 2013 20:05:04 +0000 shopaholic 816486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday I started to notice a few tiny red bumps here and there on K's head and chest. Her face also had noticeably rougher patches. So fearing dry skin or eczema (it runs in my family and I've had it my whole life), I used the BabyGanics Eczema Cream ALL OVER her. I read a lot of good comments about it on here and Amazon. </p> <p>Well - this afternoon after I changed her, I noticed her ENTIRE chest is now covered in little bumps and red all in between! It's not like the kind of eczema I have. Her face and head appear to be the same as last night. I slathered her now in Baby Aquaphor. </p> <p>Did anyone else have this kind of reaction to BabyGanics (or any other brand for that matter?) I'm wondering if it's a reaction to the cream OR if it's eczema or some other kind of rash getting worse and the cream didn't help?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
