my lo has some form of excema mainly around his face/neck and it appears to be worse in the last few days. i think it is related to his mpsi but i am not sure if there is a way to treat it when it looks worse. i typically use eucerin or hydrlatum cream regularly. we go to the dr. next week but i am looking for options in the meantime. tia

    You can use .5% hydrocortisone for no more then 3 days on the face. If your LO is itching this will help! Also use the cream when they get out of the bath before their skin dries.

    The dark blue capped Aveno.  It is for extremely dry skin.  The really bad spots mix a bit of hyrdocortisone cream in with the lotion.

    I agree with the pp's about the hydrocortisone. DD has a prescription for a higher strength hydrocortisone cream and it works wonders.

    We use the dark blue aveeno and it seems to work well.  Also, DS had a break out around his neck.  I changed the type of bib I was using, and it went away.
