eczema?

I noticed that DD is starting to get some eczema patches on her body, behind her knees, on her chest under her chin.  It's not terrible, but I certainly don't want it to get worse or show up in other places.  What is your eczema treatmeant/routine?

DD gets a bath every other day, is this too much?  Since noticing the eczema after her bath I put aquaphor on the areas that are red.  Should I be putting it on more often?  Should I use something other then aquaphor?  Should I be lotioning her whole body and not just the red areas?

I know with the cold/dry weather coming it could get a lot worse.  Trying to help it before it gets to that point.

Thanks!

Jessica

    we've been dealing with this lately too. LO has it on his chest, cheeks and chin. Sometimes his arms and legs get patches.

    We use ceraVe cream (in the tub not the pump) and the CeraVe cleansing wash in the shower. Sometimes I do cake on some aquaphor too. I've heard a humidifier is good too if it's getting dry there (we have a wet winter so I'm not using one now)

    Our pedi recommended to mix a little bit of cortizone cream with the Aquaphor when applying it to his eczema patches.  It works much better than the Aquaphor alone.
