HELP ~ my son has very dry skin!

Cetafil baths with no water half the time. Did you use the thick eucerin creme? Sounds like he has excema.

Have you tried coco butter, the body butter? This has helped me so much because I get dry patches and it actually helped.

cortisone q10 also helps I used that on my sons cradle cap and it was gone within like four days.

Oatmeal baths can help.

Also olive oil.

I've used Aquafor, Aveeno Oatmeal Baths and lotion for my childrens' dry skin. I get dry skin during the winter and I use baby oil and cocoa butter lotion as well. Good luck mama:-)

Use plain old chapstick on his cheeks...it will help to protect them. It sounds like you have tried too many products and not given them time to work. Cerave is a great moisturizer.

Try almond oil...it is very moisurizing and once the skin absorbs it -it wont leave a greasy feeling....you can get it at most health food stores.

I have very sensitive skin and breakouts & this oil helps my dry skin.

My 7 year old has ichthyosis, which is very dry skin that does not shed properly.  We mix 1 ounce of glycerine in with 6 ounces of a non-fragranced lotion.  Then we cover that with either Vaseline or aquaphor.  Applying it right after bathing will let help lock even more moisture in.  It may take a few times to really get the skin soft, but it does work.  An alternative that you can try is instead of lotion to use olive oil.

I tink there are some awesome suggestions here.

 try cornhuskers lotion. i use it myself and on my daughter, 6yrs, it works great. you have alot of good suggestions. when you try something different try to stick with it for at least seven days to give it time to see if it'll work before changing to something else. i would also have him tested for exzema too. or just try exzemaderm lotion anyway.
