Hi my 17months old daughter has eczema since 6 months old. lately it appeared on her face, but today it got even worst. She woke up with blistery red face. I checked her body, nothing there only on her face at the moment. I m desperately searching for help. thank you
Eczema in 17 months old baby could be due to allergy, exposure to irritants or can be seen in families. I advise you to: - Apply moisturising cream (cetaphil), twice daily immediately after giving bath to the baby or before the skin dried up completely - Also, use topical steroid creams (fluticasone) - Note: apply steroid first and then the moisturiser - Do not apply strong irritating ointments - Avoid contact of skin with swollen clothes - Allergy if any, add antihistamines
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
