Face eczema

I am really stressing about my baby’s face! He has eczema patches around his mouth and chin. It is really red and yellow in the center sometimes with little red bumps sometimes patchy and sometimes flaky. I am making myself crazy going between thinking if it’s food related or something that is contacting his skin that makes it flare up so bad. It’s always better first thing in the morning and worse after eating and when he gets up from naps. I am going to make a doctors appointment but I want to help it get better now! He has beautiful clear skin everywhere else but his little face. It makes me sad and shamefully embarrassed to go out. I feel so guilty about that part because he doesn’t know how it looks and it rarely seems to bother him so I know that is my issue but it’s true.😭

Tubby todd all over ointment worked wonders for my baby. It was body oil that I was using that I believed caused hers...I also thought it was more inflammed when my diet was high in dairy. Its really hard to pinpoint. I can honestly say the switch in body products especially face lotions + tubby todd did the trick!

@Kaylan I have it. It doesn’t help. I am trying different food options though. It is SO HARD to pinpoint

It’s common for babies to have rashes around the mouth especially if they’re drooling and being messy more , if it stays for longer than a few days with no progress then I’d contact doctor . My son has severe eczema and he gets it super bad on his face and ears and will scratch it raw so they had to get him on steroid creams to actually heal it. (You can use over the counter hydrocortisone cream) Within 3 days it’s all cleared up. I also use aveeno eczema balm in the tub container when his skin isn’t broke out to keep it hydrated because I don’t like using the steroid cream all the time because it messes with his melanin production so his skin is lighter where it’s applied.

@Madison this is really helpful. Thank you for posting!
