Help with Eczema

My 5 month old has a small patch of eczema on his cheek. I've used hydrocortisone cream, aquaphor and eucerin. Sometimes it goes away a little but always keeps coming back. It doesn't seem to be itching or bothering him, but it is scaly and red. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it. Thanks, S.

Any Advice for Breastfeeding Mom with Acne?

Ever since getting pregnant with my second son, now 13 months, I have had terrible acne breakouts on my face and neck. I have tried Proactiv, Murad and just about every other over the counter treatment I could get my hands on because my doctor won't prescribe anything as long as I am breastfeeding. Nothing has helped, and I'm tired of feeling ugly all the time. I won't leave my house without make-up, but even that only partially masks the problem. I had planned to wean at a year and then go see my doctor for help, but neither baby nor I are...

Newly Diagnosed Milk Allergy

Hi Ladies! My 21 month old son was just diagnosed yesterday with a "moderate" milk allergy. Lately he's been getting a rash on his body and has been on desonide cream for the last week. I have not had a chance to talk with his doctor yet - she was out of the office. But the nurse only said "eliminate all dairy" - the kid is practically made out of dairy!...lots of milk during the day, grilled cheese sandwich for lunches, yogurt for snack etc. So I'm pretty much at a loss - does anyone have similar experience with a milk allergy? Any...

Skin Problems After Having My Baby

I am a mom of a soon to be 4 year old and an 8 week old. I had no problems with my skin with my first born, but when I was pregnant with my second, my skin became extremely oily. I thought nothing of it and just washed my skin more. A few days after having my son, my skin did a 180 and is now acting strangely. I have dry patches all over my face that flake and hurt. They become red and inflamed and no matter what I do, they just won't go away. I have just been caking on the lotion in those areas in hopes that it is just dry skin and will go...

Taking Almost 8 Month Old off Formula and Going to Organic Whole Milk.

Ok, I'm out of town and my husband tells me that he took our daughter who is almost 8 monhts off formula and started her on whole milk (organic). To explain, she has had REALLY bad exemia (SP?). We have tried other formulas, foods, derm dr. with many many different creams, better cleaning products, etc etc etc. We have done it. So I'm a little concerened about her off formula this early. Is it really a big deal? Add vitamin drops? Thing is her face has cleared up within two days. Bottom line. All want to know is if it's ok that she...
