Sudocrem worked for us x

My niece used to get this on her arms. It is eczema but a bad one. She needed specific cream and bath wash to get it to calm down. You will find it flares up whenever she gets really warm.

Cerave

Zero cream (from doctors) .. or I think you can buy it in a chemist ... or perhaps bathing her in oilatum

Aveeno is really good and we used aveeno bath products as well as moisturiser xx

Aveeno (zeroveen) is great but looks like she needs hydrocortizone cream to clear up the rash x

Child’s farm

Is this a food reaction? Dive into what is causing this. A laundry detergent? Do you have a lot of fragrance things around th e home? I had eczema growing up and steroid creams are going to do way more harm than good in the long run/ journal what she’s eating and take notes of other things that feel right

Epaderm or epimax ointments work well for us

Looks like my daughters eczema go to gp get some weak steroid cream then some barrier creams to keep it at bay x

She needs steroid cream from doc - looks like eczema

I’ve had steroid cream for my eczema my whole life and no harm done. 👍

Aveeno dermexa is good x

Child’s farm moisturiser is amazing!! Xx

Shea butter

If it’s not clearing I’d go to the GP now as it could be eczema, although I think it could be fungal and they’ll give you a cream for that.

My son had the same on the crease of his arm as he’s got ezcema, doctor prescribed zeroderm ointment and hydrocortisone. He also prescribed special formula to see if his skin will make a different as he also suspected my son has cows milk allergy.

Breastmilk or coconut oil

My baby had it on her neck. Keep the area clean and dry and then apply coconut oil. Cleared in 2 days.

Is it like eczema or psoriasis? If it's like them or even dry skin then I swear by Aveeno. It was the only non-steriod/prescibed cream that ever worked with my psoriasis x

We have a little hydracortizone cream and the aveeno skin itch relief cream we apply on our LO’s eczema patches which look like that. Double base cream is also really good and last for ages. You need to put the emollient cream in loads - like 4/5 times a day while it’s bad and we only use the steroid cream twice a day

Aveeno dermexa only thing that helps my.little girl and her skin is glowing now!.X

have you tried not using steroid cream? I would assume not. Your body will be addicted to the topical steroids, hence why you’ve used it all your life. Andria is correct in what she’s saying, find out the root cause rather than masking the symptoms with creams.

You can use sudocrem is effective

My dermatologist advised oilatum for in the bath. Worked a treat!

my skin is perfect now. 👍

How did you get on? x
