Skin
Hello,
My son is Nigerian and White British. He has suffered eczema/skin allergies since 2 months (now 6); only on his torso. Anyway, the eczema is calming down (less red), but he now just has lighter patches. Was anyone elses baby left with white patches from eczema? Or do you think this could possibly be vitiligo?

Hiya, have you tried natural shea butter? My little one had the same issue for months and whatever the doctors prescribed didn’t work. So I made a mix of Shea butter, coconut oil and sweet almond oil and within a few weeks it was gone. My LO had it for months initially
So this happened with my little boy, in these exact same areas, I feel over time the pigment starts to even out again but still not fully back yet, but I can only suggest keep on top of what you’re doing to keep it clear, and within time it should all even out again x
Use organic shea butter if u can straight from Africa melt it before use so u don’t over use as its very heavy and can make u feel hot if too much is used
I believe that is because of the eczema, I would third the raw shea butter. They sometimes have them at the African stores/ markets
What did u use to stop the flair ups?
Hello, my daughter is Puerto Rican and black and she has slight baby eczema. I’ve been so worried that her skin won’t be able to handle it and she’s so beautiful I don’t want her skin to suffer. I’ve tried baby Aveeno night balm with colloidal oatmeal and the bath wash as well. She had gotten better however, she does have similar spotting.
