To the mommies with experience with eczema, what works the best in terms of over-the-counter care? We do not have insurance right now (job doesn't offer, still working on getting medicaid for my son) so it's not officially diagnosed but I teach preschool and I've seen countless cases of eczema and I'm about 90% sure my son is developing it on his face. So my question is, what can I use for now that you've found has worked the best for you? What I have on hand: Vaseline, A&D ointment, Eucerin, Neosporin, Hydrocortizone, and various other lotions, I put the Eucerin on him for now, anything you guys would suggest I get pronto until I can get him into a Dr.?
My kids and I all have severe ezcema. I have found coating it in vaseline works the best
For every day use we use Cetaphil cream 2 x a day, it has helped a ton! :)
My sister uses cetaphil and aquaphor.
Quoting MamaPeanut:
We have a Rx for when my son has bad times.
For every day use we use Cetaphil cream 2 x a day, it has helped a ton! :)
YOU CAN GET CREAMY BABY OIL AND VASELINE FROM YOUR LOCAL DOLLAR TREE. Put them both on immediatley after a bath and do not completely dry your child.
And we use All-Free Detergent on all clothing in the house, because dreft was pricey
