Child Has Eczema. Cortizone Seems To Heal His Dry Skin. Trying Moisturizer. Tried Many Products, Body Rejects. Suggestions?
hello my 3 year old son has severe eczema and the only thing that seems to soothe his dry skin is cortizone 10, i recently purchased Vitamin A,D and E cream moisturizer, i just put it on one leg to test out, i will check to see how this will work on his skin when i pick him up from childcare today. Do you have any suggestions? We have tried steroids and many other over ther counter products but after so long his body becomes immune to them and rejects many of the products that have been used in the past.
Hi thanks for writing to health care magic. I think your daughter is suffering from severe form of atopic dermatitis which needs continuous application of moisturiser immediately after bath before towelling , twice daily . Also continue cortisone oinment as per your doctors prescription. Most important is to find out the cause , which is usually food like commonly cows milk. Allergy tests are available in special centers where you can get your kid tested for specific allergies. Hope I answered your query. Regards Dr arun
