No.

Your eczema cream is designed to suppress your immune system so that it doesn’t react to the allergens that cause your eczema.

Your heat rash isn’t caused by allergens, and putting an immune suppressant on it may cause a skin infection.

Slap some petroleum jelly on it at night, and during the day put on an alcohol-free lotion.

i have a 8 month old boy, he has eczema although its mild. however one day i noticed that he had a rash on his legs and arms, it was as though his legs were beginning to swell, i quickly opened the window coz it was quite hot and after a few seconds he stopped crying and eventually the rash went.
ive been putting a cream on his face called oilatum recommended by my health visitor, but that didnt work, it made his skin really dry. and now im putting aveeno cream on his face, when the rash goes i stop putting the cream on but then it comes back again so i have to strat putting it on his face again, is there anything permanent that can get rid of his eczema, my health visitor said that he’ll just grow out of it, but what can i do meanwhile?????

babies have very delicate skin. it is best that you consult a skin care expert to get some good treatments that can be suitable for your baby’s skin. it is always good to use skin care moisturizer that comes all natural since it can be best for all skin type and for any age.

keep your baby’s skin from skin irritants and allergens for these might trigger an outbreak. keep him hydrated by giving adequate amount of water to avoid the skin to become dry. for more tips about good skin care visit http://www.skinoriginal.com

Allergic eczema appears in individuals who have a family history of allergy. Besides eczema, they may be have other manifestations of allergies such as asthma or seasonal sneezing as well.

Symptoms

With children, it begins in the first year of life. The skin on the cheeks, scalp and at the creases of the body is dry and cracked. Because of itching and irritation, it is red and sometimes oozing.

Initial lesions consist of dryness and redness over the skin with uniform pinhead-size eruptions. There is an oozing of serum from these lesions.

Crusts form oozing vesicles there and the whole area gets infected with bacteria, producing pus. At this stage, the child not only has irritation locally but may also have a general reaction in the body in the form of fever.

If the eruptions become chronic are aggravated by continued rubbing and scratching, swelling and thickening of the skin may result. Chronic lesions darken the colour of the skin as well.

Causes

Causes of allergic eczema may be susceptibility to certain foods, pollens and dusts or to certain substances with which the skin comes in contact, and in latent allergens in adults. Wool and nylon clothes are also known to aggravate the lesions in some cases.

Among factors which often have an unfavourable influence on the course of the disease are rapid changes in temperature, emotional tensions, dusty environments, alkaline cleansing agents, including common toilet, soaps, contact with greasy topical medicaments and infections like cold and sinusitis. Diseases associated with high fever, however, often exert a temporary beneficial action.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of the attending allergies, in these cases is very important in order to cure the condition. This is done by means of clinical tests for avoidance and re-exposure to the suspected items.

Treatment

Keeping the skin moist through applications of creams, oils and ointments is helpful.

Antihistaminic creams also reduce itching and in severe cases, application of ointments containing corticosteroids proves helpful. Some of the commonly used substances that cause this reactions and the site of reaction are as follows!

Substance —> Site

Stocking, shoes, chappals, clothing —> Feet legs + body

Plants, vegetables detergents, kerosene oil —> Hands

Deodorant —> Armpits

Necklace —> Neck

Lipstick —> Lips

Nose Drops —> Nose and area the nose

Spectacles —> Bridge of the nose

Earrings —> Earlobes
