I just wanted to share what’s worked for us to virtually eliminate Evan’s eczema w/o having to use the Rx steroid cream.
I never would have known to do this but my good friend’s dd suffered from eczema severely. I was using all the usual suspects: Cetaphil, Eucerin, Aveeno, etc & they were just drying out Evan’s skin. He’d be scaly an hour after moisturizing him. Many of them have alcohol as an ingredient-ick!
Anyway…
We use an olive oil soap for bath. It’s made by Kiss my Face. I ordered it from Amazon but then saw it @ both my regular grocery store & Whole Foods.

Then, after bath we just barely pat him dry… then lube him up w/ regular olive oil (like the kind you cook with).
Then, on top of the olive oil we put VaniCream – this is truly the product that’s saved us! You have to order it but it’s so worth it. It’s the base of most dermatologic products.

Finally, just put diaper & pjs on immediately after to “lock” the moisture in.
I just wanted to share this since there’s probably others out there fighting the eczema battle!
