Cream recommendations for my baby's eczema on neck and arm

3 replies

Hi all

My 8 month old (almost 9 months) son is getting eczema around his neck and a patch on his arm which won't shift. He had it alot worse a few months ago over the rest of his body but now its mainly the neck and arm.

Doctors prescribed Epimax and hydrocortisone but I can only use the hydrocortisone for 2 weeks and I don't really want to keep using it tbh.

Does anyone have any recommendations on any other creams which actually worked? I keep getting targeted on Instagram with natural remedies etc but the reviews are not good.

Thanks.

I would go back to the GP again to ask for something different.

Absolutely nothing worked on my DS when he was a baby until we were prescribed stronger steroids

If it’s one arm and not the other I’d do a really careful review of what he’s touching.
