Suitable emollient for a bad eczema flare up

28 replies

My DD5 is suffering with a really bad eczema flare up and I’m struggling to find a cream or emollient suitable for her. She hates having it applied, says it stings and gets upset. The GP said I need
to apply cream twice a day but its getting us both down and usually ends up with minimal cream actually on the area.
Please, can anyone give any advice?

Hiya, ive recently discovered zoe bee beauty. She makes natural handmade creams so i ordered for my 1 year olds eczema and were only a week in using it twice a day and one arms already cleared up,
Its the charcoal and oatmeal cream and because its natural theres no stinging. She has loads of amazing reviews on the webiste and on instagram, she just sells out mega fast.
I hope this helps as i know how relentless applying cream is, especially if its uncomfortable for your dd

Hi - I've been looking for natural remedies for my 1 year olds excema she gets on the back of her legs and came across Zoe Bees on Facebook just now so put a search into Mumsnet and found your comment! Up until now we've been using Epimax emollient cream but it's not doing anything to clear it up. Feel a bit hesitant ordering a cream online (I don't know why!) but would you definitely recommend it? How long did it take to work? Thank you 😊

I only had to apply the steroid cream twice and it cleared the eczema up

@PigglesPops can we please have the name of that cream?

I've just started using Zoe Bee charcoal and oat cream on my DS and the results are incredible! I've been using emoliants and the odd dash of steroid cream from the doctor and nothing has worked as well as Zoe Bee. I can't recommend it enough.
