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?

i know it sounds crazy, but taking my bubs to the pool helps tremendously. I visited dr hugo van beaver at NUH and he recommended swimming and it really worked wonderfully! Swimming can start at three months, just have to dip in the pool for awhile to let the cholrine work its way. Do patch test to see if her skin works well before dipping her in is recommended. I know putting steroids is scary but the dr has been one of the better ones I've visited so far, and trust me i visited a lot and they are all disappointing. They were not able to answer my questions, just pushing me to apply steroids. Dr hugo van beaver took 2 hours and explained to me and convinced me that i should apply steroids to calm the infections down. I've been in your shoes, its really a tough decision to apply steroid or not, but eventually I gave in, whether or not its for the best, I know at the moment my bubs is a much happier baby compared to the nightmares I had previously. Moogoo also help my bubs a lot, perhaps at the meantime try not to babywear till the infections calm down.
