1337810 tn?1333807530 m not an expert but my 2yr old son has eczema. he had it as an infant so I changed our clothes detergent to a hypo-allergenic or sensitive one as well as his nappy wipes. when he was 1 I gradually introduced normal soaps & detergents. he was fine for a few mths but then it came back worse. I now only use hypo-allergenic detergent & use skin cream during summer as it flares up during the hotter period.
1486289 tn?1315842255 ve found the aveeno line of products to be EXTREMELY helpful and it has helped us to minimize the use of topical steroids. Aveeno does make a line of products for infants. There is also an infant eczema cream tho I'm not sure of the brand..it's in a pale green and white tube though.
2040835 tn?1329869995 I would get some mild eczema when on holidays by the sea along with my skin allergies, hayfever and asthma. This would normally bother me for up to 5 days an then would clear. I moved from Europe (UK) to Australia where I was hoping all my skin conditions would disappear forever, well at least my dermatologist back home was a strong believer of that. I've been in Oz, living by the beach for almost 3 months and been having bad eczema and even worse allergies...
Avatar n tn I noticed that my son developed hair on his scrotum at 4 -1/2 mon old. He is now 6 mon old and the hair is still there. At first I thought it was from desomide-corticosteroid for his eczema so that was d/c'd and i started using hydrocortisone sparingly. He still has the hair and pediatrician thinks its caused by oxytocin found in cows milk and can be excreted through breast milk.
336902 tn?1242006090 I brought her to an allergist and had her tested for milk and soy allergy but the skin test came back negitive, so no allergys. We still arent sure whats going on by the doctor but her on Rx neocate infant formula. So far it seems to be working. I would give the almentum 2 weeks to see if it help. If not you can always ask your doctor about the neocate. Its covered by most insurance and also by WIC. The thing with altimentum is its still made from milk just broken down more.
Avatar n tn Hi, i wrote that question about the rash on my thigh that i had since i was young, and u gave me some advice, i have to say it was very helpful, but the thing is that i don't have eczema, i never had it nor any other medical illnesses but the usual (cold, flu) etc, rarely..
Avatar f tn My four year old has been scratching her head (all over her scalp) for a few weeks now. At first I thought it might be lice, but I inspect her hair every few days and haven't seen any nits or lice. As an infant she had eczema, so I thought maybe it was that, but she doesn't have any redness or bumps on her scalp. I don't think it's dandruff because thereare no flakes. We wash her hair every night in the shower with kids shampoo and use regular adult conditioner.
Avatar n tn hello guys! 2 questions! 1. The other day I got some semen on my hands which have eczema. My eczema do itch and I do scratch them very often. But eczema don't itch all the time. when the semen got on it ,it was not bleeding, it looked like intact skin with very red rash on it. So,my question is, is this kind of no-bleeding eczema showing only severe rashes the same as intact skin?
Avatar n tn I have severe itch on my penis. I have tried a lot of medicines. but none resulted good. I have a lady friend who is a dermatologist. but can i show this to her. or do they only treat females?
Avatar m tn I've been diagnosed with eczema on the underside of my penis. 1% hydrocortisone seems to make it worse. What would be an alternative, milder treatment?
Avatar n tn However, this is such a sensitive part of his body I have been very nervous about what I am doing. Any suggestions on treating eczema on this part of the body? Thanks.
Avatar n tn I was using Nystatin and it seemed to get better, then it returned even worse. The cream seems to do little for it now. I got eczema on my knuckle last year and it finally cleared up. I assume this is the same thing. It is red and raised. It almost looks as if the hair follicles are what is red and raised. The only reason this concerns me is because I was burned badly in this area in 2002. I never went to the Dr. for the burn although I was told it was a severe 2nd degree.
Avatar f tn Am I over reacting, is it safe for them to use chapstick on eczema, or is it further hurting the condition? Please help me so I can pass correct information on to my parents, since they choose not to listen to me! Thanks!
Avatar m tn about 2yrs ago I developed a rash on my one foot.I want to the Dr and he said is was a rash and gave me an antihistmine tablet and some cream.The second time I went to the Dr he said it was eczema and gave me more cream. Both my feet is now covered in scab and I'm to embarresed to go and see a Dr .It itches a lot ,especially at night,and sometimes I stratch it until it bleeds. I'm am extremely anxoius with summer coming up as the mark on my feet draws a lot of negative attention.
Avatar n tn since around last summer i developed almost a rash ony myt scrotum, when my groin is cool and dry it doesnt bother me, but when i start to sweat my scrotum starts to get sensitive to my underwear and it starts to get red and itchy, ive used store bought jock itch spray and it works untill i run out. also i have little white bumps on my scrotum where my hair folicals are. any answers on these things would be helpful. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.
Avatar m tn I was hoping to hear of other potential treatments or medicines. I can handle the eczema elsewhere with the topical steroids and moisturizers. It's just that the eczema on my scrotum is so much more severe and flares up immediately after sex.
Avatar n tn Hello, for a few months now a rash has been developing on my arm. At first i thought that it would eventually go away on its own, but instead it seems to be steadily growing (although at a slow pace). It consists of small bumps that are the same color as my skin, and grows in little patches. At first I thought I might be developing a ringworm, but it isn't raised like one. It also isn't itchy unless I'm out in the sun and sweating a lot. Then it seems a bit agitated.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have a rash that appears mostly in the summer months. It appears on my knees and ankles mostly but can also be seen on legs and feet. It's raised red spots which appear to have white around them. It has come back every year for about 6 years. I live in Ireland so the climate can get warm but not very warm and not very often. When i get to the doctor it has disappeared. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Avatar n tn it is actually on my back). I found a photo on a rash photo search on the internet which is attached here. It hurts and doesn't itch. It isn't herpes simplex; my doctor just had me get a blood test for this and it was negative. Besides, I've never heard of herpes simplex causing a rash on a persons back and nowhere else. What might this be?
Avatar n tn i went to the dermatoligst and he said i have eczama but theres pink round circles on my palms that look like ringworm and funny round spots on my fingers he said i had eczema and gave me dexamethason and fluocinonide cream0.
