My son is 10 months old and he has very
sensitive skin. He has baby eczema, which
is being treated with medication, and he
frequently gets rashes, which are
unrelated to the eczema. When I took him
to the beach, I tried to keep him out of
the sun as much as possible, but I still
put sunblock 50 all over him. He once
again, broke out in a rash from the
sunblock. My doctor gave me a list of
different blocks to use, but didn't have
any advice as to which ones were best for
sensitive skin. Does anybody have any
suggestions as to the most gentle block to
use for babies?

Our nephew has the same thing. Please let
us know if you find that one particular
sunscreen works better so we could relay
the info. to our family. We hope you find
something that helps him.
I understand that Nutregena SPF-17 is very
good. As long as the main ingredient is
Titanium Dioxide, the SPF should work and
it is supposed to be good for sensitive
skin. I will try it out and let you know.
Try water babies 50 spf by coppertone,
keep your baby away from lanolin, wool,
fragrances, and dryer sheets. The best
moisturizer for your baby is white crisco
We did try water babies, and he broke out
in a rash from tht too. Oh well. He has
used the neutregena and that has been
pretty good. He will hopefully out grow
it. We will see. Thanks for the
response.

There Is a Cure For Eczema!!!! Posted: 08-28-06 19:27pm
There is a cure!!! Mothers read this!!
I don’t want you to suffer like I have.
I am a mother of a 5 month old boy who at
one month broke out in rash on his face
and was diagnosed with eczema. I took him
to a dermatologist who basically said that
it would spread to his entire body, it
would get worse and there was no cure.
Imagine how I felt. I took him to his
pediatrician who prescribed hydrocortisone
which I refused to use. No one gave me a
hope that eczema could be cured. All they
could do was to give me different samples
of creams: aquaphor, eucerin,
vanicream…you name it. I tried all for
no good!!!
I started doing research, spent months
reading and consulting people myself and
this is what I discovered.
1) first of all, don’t let anyone tell
you it cannot be cured. At 4 months, I
found out that there is a homeopathic
treatment. I did research and came across
a very knowledgable doctor, homeopath who
lives in saratoga, ca. Close to where I
live. I took my baby and he prescribed
medicine, some drops. He said that within
6 weeks, we should see 10-20% improvement.
I tell you, the eczema was 80% gone. I
wished I had known about homeopathic
treatment earlier, but when I asked my
pediatrician, she said my baby was too
young for that. Which is a lie. She did
not recommend. I don’t understand these
doctors. Not only they are not of any
help, and incapable of comforting you, but
do not seem to care about babies who
suffer from eczema. I did research and
turned out that homeopathic treatment is
extremely safe for even newborns and it
does wonders for infants and babies in
general with eczema. Make sure, when you
look for a homeopath, look for classical
homeopath.
2) imagine, my babies skin was all red
from rash. It was summer and the
pediatrician along with the dermatologist
prescribed aquaophor, and other heavy
creams. Believing them, I would literally
soak my baby in creams after taking the
bath. My instincts were telling me that
putting creams would make it even worse,
would clog pores, but I still believed the
doctors who told me that moisturizing was
a key to keeping eczema under control.
Wrong!!!! The way homeopathy works is
that you need to heal eczema from inside.
If you do not heal from inside putting
creams would do nothing, if not make it
even worse by suppressing it. Another
thing is that if you put creams on the
skin, the skin will become dependent on
the cream and will never heal. So, taking
the homeopathic medicine, we gave up using
creams entirely. Even after bathing him,
he would have nothing. Per the
homeopathic doctor, the skin would be dry
for 1-2 weeks, but it would heal itself
and dryiness would go away. The body
wanted a signal that it had to act and
heal itself without external remedies.
Little I believed, it happened!!! His
skin became like the rest of his body.
Amazing! So true!!!
And it makes sense. Those who are using
creams, seek homeopath’s help and stop
using the creams. (especially
hydrocortisone!!!).Especially, kids
respond to treatment amazingly well.
I would not write all this, if I did not
want to help you from the bottom of my
heart. I went through such ordeal that I
would not wish anyone to experience it.
And I feel your pain, mothers, when you
are told it cannot be cured. It can be
cured! Have my words for it!!!! Look for
a classical homeopath, or if you are in
bay area, write me and I will recommend
the doctor I know.
