My 5 month old was diagnosed with eczema at 4 months, he had it long before and I suspected that it was eczema because his rashes look just like mine and that’s what I have. I started using aveeno unscented baby products on him and they don’t really work, but they dont further irritate his skin the way other products do. His doctor suggested that we use a hydrocortizone cream and eucerin baby aquaphor, i’ve been using them for a month but his rashes only seem to get worse and spread.
MariVi, what kind of Eucerin is it that you use. I’ve been using Eucerin Aquaphor but I know that there are many different types.

my son had a severe outbreak of eczema when he first started showing signs of having it…it was a complete bummer!! his doctor told us the same thing…the hydrocortizone and aquaphor. We also gave him fewer baths and switched out laundry detergent to a free and clear hypoallergenic. right when he is out of the bath I slather on eucerin calming cream lotion and then the aquaphor on the trouble spots. the doc also considered that it might be due to a milk allergy so we switched his fomula to a soy based formula…i supplement breast feeding with formula but you didn’t mention which method you use…you might look into that aspect as well…obviously nursing is the best method but they can pick up the allergy from dairy products you might eat too..everything has cleared up really well for our son except for one spot on his chest that we finally took him to a dermatologist at childrens hospital to treat…they prescribed a steroid anitbiotic that has made the spot finally disappear after the several months he’s been bothered by it…. eczema sucks!!! but hopefully you can get it cleared up! good luck!!

i made a wrong move by applying Celestone M cream on the front of my head and suddently that patch of hair shrinked all the way so i got a bald spot at the front now and its not growing back. since its not a natural hair loss, is there anything i can do to make up for it? sorry for bad english.

An estimated 95 percent of hair loss is genetic, but other factors, such as nutrition, overall health, hormone deficiencies, overcoloring of hair and emotional stress, can be controlled somewhat.
Instructions

* STEP 1: Wash your hair regularly in warm water and use a deep conditioner.
* STEP 2: Eat a balanced diet. Nutritional deficiencies, eating disorders and excessive amounts of certain vitamins, such as A and E, can cause hair loss.
* STEP 3: Take care of your health. Chronic illness, high fevers and infections can contribute to hair loss.
* STEP 4: Stay away from harsh chemicals – permanent hair color and perms are the most damaging – and avoid coloring your hair more than once every six to eight weeks.
* STEP 5: Avoid hairstyles like ponytails and cornrows, which stretch and pull hair.
* STEP 6: Keep in mind that it’s normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day.
* STEP 7: Consult your general physician or dermatologist regarding concerns about hair loss.

Tips & Warnings

* Because of hormonal changes in their bodies, nearly 50 percent of women experience hair loss after pregnancy. Normal hair production will eventually resume, though it can take as long as six months.
* Some methods of preventing hair loss are merely old wives’ tales. These include massaging your scalp, standing on your head to increase blood flow to hair follicles, and vigorous hair brushing.
* If you experience a sudden hair loss not related to pregnancy, age or other explainable factors, contact your doctor.
* Using Propecia or Minoxidil (Rogaine) produces varied results. Discuss your expectations and concerns with your doctor.

Hi everybody, in this video I show you how you can figure out what is causing you to have an itchy dry scalp, and if you have flakes, what those flakes mean. Dandruff, seborrhea, and psoriasis, can be extremely annoying and embarrassing, but the good news is they can all be treated. In this video I will give you tips on how you can treat and hopefully cure these scalp conditions. Dandruff shampoos can be drying to your hair, so I also offer some natural alternatives to using the over-the-counter medicated shampoos that are gentler. Things like Tea Tree Oil. . If you have long hair, you always want to be careful not to dry it out and since these conditions are conditions of the scalp, its best to protect your hair as much as possible. I hope you found this video helpful. Please subscribe because I have so much more to come; something helpful and of interest to everyone. Thanks so much for viewing!
