Our granddaughter and grandson came to live with us. We refer to them as our baby bears. I thought the picture above was appropriate because my grandson loves to help out and love on his baby sister.
They both have eczema. My granddaughter has worst episodes than my grandson. They were both prescribed an ointment that contains steroids. Because both of them are under the age of 3. I didn't think using a steroid should be the first choice.
I use Naturally Me's Eczema Relief Butter on my grandson and he is just fine. My granddaughter sometimes needs more. Some days are better than others with her. Her flair ups are sometimes so bad, that it causes her chest to get beet red and she scratches for hours. When those days happen I do apply the cortisone cream to help with the inflammation.
I use Naturally Me's Gluten Free Oatmeal Mask and Naturally Me's Eczema Body Oil on her. I first apply the mask to her affected areas, let it sit for 15 minutes, then bathe her. After her bath, I applied the Eczema Body oil. I give her a mini massage, which she absolutely loves, and then applied a liberal amount of the Eczema Relief Body Butter on her. If it is a day that she is inflamed, I apply the cortisone cream then the butter to seal in her moisture. I saw a huge improvement with controlling her itching. I applied the mask yesterday and didn't notice any itching today. Tonight is bath night and I will apply another treatment and I will keep you all posted.
Even if you have to use a prescribed cortisone cream, be sure to use a moisturizer. The cortisone cream just helps with the itching and inflammation. It doesn't attack the moisture issue that is causing the eczema.
