Hi ladies,

My 5month old LG has eczema all over her body including her scalp. We took her to the paed & was told to use zytec and nutruderm and epizone E to bath her with. The paed also suggested we remove LG hair, what do u ladies think?

I have been washing her hair with the epizone E & using the nutruderm fterwards but it is still very very flaky & dry.

Giggles i wont, try advantan cream on the head for 3 days it should clear it up. cutting the hair is a bit drastic i think.

Try using Noni Aloe Vera cream
Is has no steriods or cortisones and it really does work..
We used it on our little one and everything was cleared within 3days!!
Let me know if you need contact details!
Good luck!!

I haven't realy taken Dewald into the sun yet. We are going away at the end of the month. I will need sunscreen for then. I thought of getting the one from the Annique range.

@ wilma, the pure beginnings baby stuff has tea tree in it. I also swear by the stuff. I use cloths dipped in water with diluted tea tree oil a wet wipes at home and they are great. I also put a few drops into my nappy bucket to help eliminate odours:)

@ Beatrix I use Environ Rad sunscreen. Unfortunately its only factor 16, but I try to make sure that James is in the shade/covered up wherever possible so its not too much of an issue. I also use it on myself. It contains no fragrence or preservatives which are the usual culprits when it comes to upsetting skin. I have also used the nivea baby, borrowed from a friend, but it seemed to cause a reaction...

What sunscreen do you ladies recommend for babies with eczema? I use Epizone A and E (and Advantan for bad patches), but they don't have a suncreen in the range.

Hi Ladies,
I started bathing Dewald with diluted teatree oil. Worked wonders. Nothing else worked. After bathing him in it I also rub it on the affected spots.
