Eczema - 4 months old

[Mamtobe2024]

Hi,

My boy is now 4 months old and has had eczema on his face for the past 4 weeks now it's gotten progressively worse. He now has eczema on his arms too, I'm not sure what's triggered it as I've not changed anything from when he was born.

He has been prescribed steroid cream but I've been told to only use this if it's really bad, also been prescribed cetraben and some antibiotic cream in case it gets infected. Does anybody have any advice on what else I can do to help him I feel so helpless as his skin looks so sore and I can tell it's irritating him 😫

You could try Zoe Bee charcoal and oat cream. It’s very expensive but natural ingredients and meant to be great for excema. A little goes along way.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have a look. I'm willing to try anything at this rate as it's so inflamed and sore

You could buy the smallest pot size just to try it out. I haven’t used it for eczema myself but I love her creams and I’ve seen lots of amazing reviews on her Instagram from eczema sufferers.
