Suggestions for Eczema Problem

Hello, My 3year old daughter has Eczema on the top of her hands. Some days are worse than others. Right now I'm using regular fragrance free hand creams. I'm afraid to use the strong prescription creams because she still sucks her thumb.....and when she's she's sleeping....she tends to rub her eyes with that part of her hand.....have any of you used anything that seemed to work for you and your child? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

6 Year Old Daughter with Chronic Ear Eczema

Hi- My nearly 6 year old daughter has had chronic eczema behind her ear since she was 3 years old. We have tried many approaches to heal it: homeopathy (myself through books) - healed it for 6 months or so, gluten-free diet - only managed 3 weeks on it to no effect, steroid cream from my dh's dermatologist (reluctantly out of desperation) - caused it to spread to the other ear & scalp. I tend not to believe that a dermatologist can heal with steroids - they just supress symptoms. Steroids have never helped anyone in my family, in fact, made...

My 8 year old is starting to have, what looks like acne breakouts. This just seems so young to me. Hygiene is not an issue, we make sure she washes her hair everyday and cleanses her face in the morning and evening. Any suggestions on products to use to help clear up her breakouts.

7 Year Old with Severe Allergies, Asthma, and Eczema

HI To keep it short my 7 year old son has severe allergies, asthma and eczema and has had since birth. We have seen tons of doctors,dermatologists,allergists,even a chiropractor.

What Is Happening to My Daughter?!?!?!

Today I came home from work and my 10 year old daughter was crying. When I asked her what was wrong she showed me her hands, and they were BRIGHT red. Like a sun burn. She then showed me her inner thighs. Same thing. It's not a burn, because the red fades as it goes up her arm, it's not hot to the touch, and it's not swollen. It's some king of rash, and I gave her benadryl but it didn't go away. I sprayed first aid burn spray on it and it seemed to relieve the pain temporarily. She has not worn anything different or used any soaps or...

Doctors Won't Help My One Year Old with Her Allergies

My daughter just turned 1 last week. She had colic and excema when she was first born. Her pediatrician thought she might have a protein allergy and put her on Nutramigen. We moved to another city and have been through five pediatricians now. Since coming off of Nutramigen and trying solids her excema has come back,she has a constant runny nose and a cough. She scratches so bad she makes her legs bleed. All the doctor's say here is that she has a viral infection. She has had severe symptoms since December and we can get no help. She...
