Eczema cream?

[greencrayon]

Need to get something for A soon. I looked at California Baby and it's like $30. Any other suggestions? Has anyone tried the Aveeno? I hate aquaphor. The texture grosses me out!

Cerave cream in the tub.

Our pedi also recommended vanicream, but she seemed to think it was not as good as the aquaphor when his eczema was more severe.

We use the Aveeno baby eczema cream. It's worked really well, but his eczema wasn't too terrible to start with. For $7, it might be worth a try.

Cetaphil was a game changer for us.

I like Cetaphil for eczema and the Neosporin series for eczema. The Neosporin one had $ back at CVS this week.

I use the aveeno between flair ups. The dermatologist recommended it.

This stuff works really well for us.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the suggestions.

Our pedi said to use 1% hydrocortisone for flare-ups and Aquaphor after bath for daily maintenance. This has worked well for us.

Is there a problem with Aquaphor other than the greasiness? I just put cheap clothes on as soon as I put on the Aquaphor so it doesn't get grease everywhere.

We rotate between aquaphor, cerave, and the neosporin eczema cream. I think my favorite is actually the neosporin one. It seems to be working better than the aquaphor this year and it's really bad this year for J.

We use the aquaphor baby soap and the Aveeno oatmeal lotion,

This is what we do too

No problem other than the texture.


Are you supposed to bathe them daily? I was under the impression you were supposed to bathe them less often so you don't dry out their skin.

My pedi said to bathe him daily so that the Aquaphor has some moisture to seal in.

Yep, Cetaphil.  They sell big tubs at Costco.

[carolinagirl831]

Eucerin in the tub, it's very thick but it works
Not the bottle, that is thin like regular lotion

[jena]

The Aveeno eczema stuff works really well for us as a preventative or for mild outbreaks. The cetaphil didn't do squat for dd.

[ringstrue]

I use the normal Aveeno NOT the Aveeno for eczema stuff, because it doesn't have dimethicone in it and that is what acts as the sealant for their skin.

For flares and red areas we use hydrocortisone.

For baths we use Cetaphil (I get the generic version) and Head and Shoulders for his head for his cradle cap.
