dry skin plus rash

Hi ladies!

Thanks 4 the advice. The dr suggested i stop with J&J products nd use epi max. She says after the rash has cleared i can use the cetaphil nd nutriderm again! Hoping the rash will clear soon as its itchy!

My lb developed a red,itchy rash on his face @ 4wks.The skin was also dry.His ears were dry and scaly.I applied Nutriderm,cetaphil,baby oil which only made it worse.Paed said that it's baby eczema,not the other 1,coz he only had it on his face & that it will clear up on its own & not 2 apply anything.Tristen also had cradle cap,since washing his hair daily I noticed that the rash on his face also cleared up.

Is she not allergic to the shampoo?? I bath my bby with non scented baby aqueous cream and use e45 as a moisteriser. I also use the woolies Earth Baby shampoo - its all natural. James was also allergic to the J&J products - luckily I hadnt bought them, but found out using up the small free samples that I had (incidently he was also allergic to the J&J baby wipes - he developed the worst nappy rash which went away as soon as we changed the wetwipes!) I've also heard wonderful things about nutroderm and cetaphil!

I also agree , cetaphil and nutraderm. The doc intially had my daughter on Oilatum soap and dip and also E45 moisturising lotion not cream. But now i changed to the cetaphil and nutraderm which is good too. I also use the SPR repair cream for her face , a bit pricey but it works too

I have a son with sentive skin. He has had it since birth. I use the Cetaphil and Nutriderm Baby products which work wonders. You cash wash her hair with the Cetaphil as well.

go to the pharmacy and buy epimax - stop using anything else as epimax you can use as a soap and a cream for after bath.. also, we landed up getting products from paed that didnt work, but i would start there, if it doesnt work, ask him to recommend a dermatologist.. we did this and discovered our son had excema on his cheeks - and we learned how to manage it so that it mostly stays away. He is great, he prescribed advantan but also gave us another cream - cant remember what its called, but we used the advantan for 5 days only and then mixed the advantan with the cream 5 - 1 and as soon as the rash started we would start with the 5 - 1 blend and only go onto the strong stuff if really neccessary!

Good luck..

Hi ladies!

My 5week old lg had a rash about 2weeks ago nd we thought it was the J&J top to toe, i stopped using that nd got cetaphil nd nutriderm which seemed to do the trick nd the rash went away! So now i use the J&J moisturising hair nd body shampoo 4 her hair nd cetaphil to wash her body. i mix the cetaphil with non scented aqueous cream. She has now developed a rash on both ears nd down her neck the rash looks like raised pimples nd they are red nd very dry! This pimples seem to b spreading now to her cheeks also. Can any1 recommend anything as we only going to the dr on tuesday. Oh for her dry skin i add bennets aqueous bath drops to her water
