Q: sensative skin

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 Wink

There Is a Cure For Eczema!!!!
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.
