My girl has very bad eczema on her cheeks. Brought her to Pd, using mild steroid cream twice daily and moisturizing her many times a day. Making sure she's dress lightly, bathing her in organic soap etc. Her eczema on her arms, legs and body are already controlled and getting better, but those on her face are harder to control. She's always rubbing her face on my shirt when I carry her or on the mattress when she's on her tummy and it got so sore now that its slightly oozing. What other ways can I make her eczema less itchy so she wouldn't rub her face?

Hi, to counter itch, you may check with your PD if she can take an antihistamine such as Zrytec or Clarityn. (There are children's version of them). However, do note that long term use of antihistamine isn't good. My toddler also has eczema since nb, I gave her LactoGG (a probiotic), and Oliva Forte, which is olive juice extract that is supposed to be high in antioxidant. Both can be found in pharmacy like Watson, Guardian or Unity. http://www.olivaforte.com/products-0 The problem with eczema is that what works for one may not work for another, you really need to trial and error to find out which cream or supplement etc would suit your child. Good luck!
