It's the only thing that worked for our LO. Hydrocortisone really shouldn't be used much on babies. I use Eucerin on my own ezcema too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-537290 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:40:01 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 537290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On one daughter coconut oil really does the trick, but our older daughter we started with Aveeno (didn't work), tried Aquafor and Eucerin which work but are so greasy, and then settled in to Weleda calendula cream. It seems to allow us to go a long time in between flares and isn't too greasy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-537281 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:37:33 +0000 Mrsbells 537281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we dont have eczema be we love ceraVe for skin issues. its great </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-537279 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 16:36:10 +0000 SAHM0811 537279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughters had mild cases of eczema this month for the first time ever, and coconut oil alone got rid of them! I slathered it on as many times during the day as I could remember .. Anywhere from 2-4x/day... After a week, the eczema was pretty much gone! We were lucky they were mild cases and the girls didn't scratch them too much. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-537040 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:31:40 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 537040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with the coconut oil! All natural too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-536981 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:15:01 +0000 LindsayInNY 536981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @MusicaV on the CeraVe! Granted I'm an adult with eczema but CeraVe or Cetaphil cream is good (and gentle). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-536968 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 15:11:54 +0000 BelugaBean 536968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll look into the hydrocortisone cream in combination and also the coconut oil! Her doctor did say that it's probably just from how much colder it's gotten here lately and us using the heat, I just hate seeing it because it looks so itchy and uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-536910 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:52:39 +0000 MusicaV 536910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just started this two days ago, so I can't say how effective it is long-term. Our ped told us to us 1% hydrocortisone ointment, plus something to keep the moisture in. A few people recommended CeraVe to me. So far it's good. The ped also told us to limit baths to 5 minutes and put the cream on while he was still damp.</p> <p>ETA: We also switched soaps to Shea Moisture Olive and Marula Baby Wash and Shampoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-536906 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:51:29 +0000 LittleGBee 536906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(and edible!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-536905 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:51:12 +0000 LittleGBee 536905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coconut oil. It's magic, I swear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-536891 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:46:28 +0000 NerdBee 536891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aquaphor was the only thing that worked for us. I apply it Fairly frequently, at every diaper change. I tried Vaseline first and it was not as effective as Aquaphor. </p> <p>I noticed that LO's eczema also improved after we got a humidor for his room. We give him only short baths in lukewarm water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-for-eczema#post-536866 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:35:43 +0000 BelugaBean 536866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has really bad baby eczema that seems to be lingering around. I've used Aquaphor but that didn't seem to do much. I might try Vaseline next but was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions? Her doctor said we could use 1% hydrocortisone cream if it itches but she doesn't seem to notice yet. </p>
