My baby is only 2 months old. The doctor says she has infant eczema around her neck area. She has chubby cheeks and lots of layer at her neck. After applying starch powder on her neck , the collar of the romper will turn yellow and will have a sticky layer at the neck and a bad smell. What should I do to make her feel better? Will things get better? I'm super worried.

First, you have to find out what is causing her eczema. My friend's baby had eczema and she tried lots of creams to no avail until she found a professor who did a skin prick test and concluded that the baby was allergic to eggs. Do seek help from a skin specialist. In the meantime, try out a bleach bath. My friend is a registered medical nurse and she bathed her baby in a diluted bleach bath. There are studies which have proven its effectiveness. Also, massage your baby's body with a moisturiser after baths. I recommend Physiogel. http://sg.theasianparent.com/4-tips-to-caring-for-a-baby-with-eczema/ https://nationaleczema.org/eczema/child-eczema/infants-toddlers/
