Eczema

Hi All! My little girl has been suffering with itchy skin / eczema since she was 3 1/2 months. Every time I seem to get on top of it, it flares up again. I have tried creams, cortizone, changing the environment her formula etc but it keeps flaring up. She has started solids but I have been cautious of what I give her atm. Just wondering if anyone else has any suggestions that would help. Thank you xo

Could you possibly see an allergenist and get testing done? Perhaps she reacting to something in your milk/formula?

@Lydia We switched her to dairy free formula as she was on normal and it did decease and was almost gone and now it has flared up again. But I will look into it :-)

Mine has atopic eczema. We just use all things qv, it’s worse around the hot days. But qv has been good. Our dermatologist advised to apply qv at every few hours and avoid egg and wheat until 12 months.

Could be more than one thing too. If there’s one I think the likelihood of more is greater. (I’m no expert though) if you can get testing done it might just help narrow it down. May not even be in the formula, could be in soap or moisturiser products. May not be allergies at all. Just a thought ☺️

We use the QV bath oil, no soap. Also, the dermeze treatment ointment on thick before bed.

Mine was the same, we went to kiara pharmacy as they helped a lot of eczema babies as they do compound cream and baby tonic for eczema. Also another thing that helped is we have started giving probiotics which now finally her flare up has reduced significantly

We’ve had a similar journey with steroids and creams. Probiotics have made a huge difference for us. In just over a week my baby’s skin was calm and clear. She started to have a little flare last week and a bleach bath helped to stop it. We’re back to normal formula, still do QV baby moisturiser twice per day, probiotics once per day, daily wipe downs with water, a couple normal baths per week and bleach baths as needed. Good luck!
