Eczema!! Go away!!

Hello!

I just wanted to share real quick something useful I found to help control my LO's ezcema, in case someone is struggling and would like to try something new! My LO's doc gave us a small sample of Cetaphil specifically for ezcema (it says it on the bottle) and it's worked wonders for us. There is a bath wash and lotion.

I've tried a lot of different lotions including just regular cetaphil but this one has worked out amazingly! My LO had it bad on her back but it's honestly 100% better. We also did a short 3 day treatment with a cream the doc sent home but since the cetaphil I haven't had to use it any more.

Hope someone finds this useful!

:)

    I thought I found the magic cure a few weeks ago and my LO was doing so well and then he woke up Wednesday morning with another bad flare up. Sigh :(

    We have been using the cetaphil soap and it then applying aveeno baby eczema lotion. It's working so far!

    Yeah my doc told me to keep the steroid cream for emergencies or flare ups.

    At least some relief is better than none!

    I think I have plenty now to last her at least 6mos or more.  The recent prescription we got came in 2 tubs...plus they called in more of the original ointment instead of the antibiotic so we have another tube of that too.  While I hope she outgrows this soon...I also hope that stuff has a good shelf life after what was spent on it ;)

    Awesome! We've also had good luck with Triple Cream (from the makers of Triple Paste) when it's on that line btw very dry skin and actual eczema. I will try the cetaphil!

    Thanks for this! We have Cetaphil but it doesn't say anything about eczema. So far it has been helping a ton. I will have to look into the special bath products.
