DS's started up right around 6 months and it's been pretty consistent ever since. If you get a prescription, you'll have just in case this is recurring.</p> <p>ETA: Ignore this unnecessary post :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-eczema-what-do-you-put-on-it#post-1214168 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:51:55 +0000 Bao 1214168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Ok, she goes in a few weeks so until then I will see what something OTC does until her pedi can look at it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-eczema-what-do-you-put-on-it#post-1214166 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:50:51 +0000 cmomma17 1214166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I don't think it would hurt to ask. Ours told us it gets worse in the winter, so you might want to get the prescription just in case. After we used it consistently for a while, we didn't need to use it as much anymore. Now I just do aquaphor, or the hydro on specific trouble spots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-eczema-what-do-you-put-on-it#post-1214160 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:50:16 +0000 JoJoGirl 1214160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: You can but ours isn't prescription strength, i don't think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-eczema-what-do-you-put-on-it#post-1214157 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:50:06 +0000 Happygal 1214157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm using Cetaphil body lotion and like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-eczema-what-do-you-put-on-it#post-1214154 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:49:03 +0000 Bao 1214154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: I don't think it's too bad, but it is getting worse, at least since last week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-eczema-what-do-you-put-on-it#post-1214150 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:48:02 +0000 sunny 1214150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our pedi told us to use Aquaphor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-eczema-what-do-you-put-on-it#post-1214146 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:46:29 +0000 MamaJ 1214146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>California baby eczema cream worked great for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-has-eczema-what-do-you-put-on-it#post-1214145 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:46:25 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1214145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister has it on her face and has been using hydrocortisone her whole life.
