Eczema in the Diaper Area

My son is 14 months and after treating him for diaper rash/yeast infection for 4 months,I believe that he has eczema in the diaper area. It looks like little red bumps. The reason why I think is eczema it's because the only thing that takes those bumps away is prescribed hydrocortisone 2%. But I've been reading about all the side effects of the hydrocortisone and I don't want to keep using it. I've been using aquaphone too but no improvement. Has anybody had a similar experience?

Can Prolonged Use of Hydrocortisone Cream Affect Growth of Child?

Hello moms. My 18 month old boy has chronic eczema since he was 6 months old and have been using a hydrocortisone cream prescribed by our pediatrician. We have been applying this cream, a 2.5% formulation cream since he was an infant with varying degrees of eczema relief. He has needed it on a daily basis and we have been applying it twice a day to his ankles, wrists and behind the knee--the areas that are affected. We also use Aquaphor and pretoleum jelly emollients to relieve his dry skin. We have not asked our pediatrician though...

Acid Mantle (Cream Mixed with Hydrocortisone) - Is It Safe?

I have a 15 month old son who has extremely sensitive skin and had horrible ezcema (sp?) since he was an infant. We found out that it was mostly caused by an allergy to pet dander so we had to give up our pug. Well, we have been using a prescription cream on him called A-Mantle since he was about 6 months old that our Pediatric Allergist prescribed (who is associated with CHOP). This cream is a hydrocortisone mixed with some other type of cream. We use it on him practically every single day (since he still has ezcema). I specifically...

Need Help with Baby Eczema- Does Hypoallegenic Formula Help?

My 4 month old son has eczema all over his arms, legs and cheeks He's got these big red splotches all over and doesn't seem to be going away. The doctor said to try hydrocortisone 1% and use lots of lotions like Aquaphor. Baths only every other day and not much soap. I use fragrance free -dye free detergent. She said to try a hypoallergenic baby formula for him. Since I started working my breastmilk supply has gone down significantly. So he's fed a lot more formula now. Has anyone tried the hypoallergenic formula? Does it help? And...

Hemorrhoids and Constipation at 9 Weeks!

Hello Ladies, I am 9 weeks pregnant and having issues with hemorrhoids and constipation. My doctor told me to use Tucks and an over the counter hemorrhoid cream but it doesn't seem to be helping. I've also been eating a ton of fiber, fruit, etc. and I'm still having constipation. Does anyone know of any other options to get relief from the hemorrhoids or constipation being so newly pregnant? Thanks again!

Severe Ezema & Croupe Cough

Hello! My son has severe ezema, and croupe caugh he has had both since he was a few days old. He was diagnosed with the ezema at 8 days old, we have moved to a cooler city, since the heat really bothers him. Everytime he breaks out, he gets the croupe a few days later. I refuse to dress him head to toe, since he then breaks out more, and screams so he is always, most of the time, in shorts and a tee. I do not know what to do, he have been working with our pediatrician and he gives us the steriod caugh medicine and the high cortizone...

Diaper Rash with Diarrhea

My 13 month old daughter has her 1st diaper rash, which is bright red and seems to have small opening in her skin. It is mostly on the buttock area right below her genitals. It started 3 days ago along with Diarrhea (also her 1st time having diarrhea). I think it is starting to hurt her because about 50% of the time when I am wiping her she starts crying and screaming. I am using Desitine and almost through a new tube in the last 3 days. I am putting it on really thick and covering the entire red area. I am also letting her skin air...

so today is my little princess's first birthday and a little while after she woke up this morning I noticed that the top half of her ear was red and a little swollen.. the bottom half was perfectly normal (still is) I called my doctors office but they were busy and said theyd call back later. I took her to the cvs down the street from my house, I know the pharmacist there and she asked ifshe hit her ear on anything and I said not that I know of and her guess was that it was probably some kind of bug bite, she told me to get infants motrin...

Any Adult Ever Gotten Fifth Disease? Any Treament Ideas?

Thanks to the internet, I have become pretty good and self-diagnosis. Well, I'm afraid I may have come down with Fifth Disease. After 3 days of low grade fever, headache, and body aches, I was fine for a day and then started itching on my back. Then it moved to my stomach and now it's my arms. I have a lacy looking rash on my stomach and there's some redness on my back and arms. Problem is, I'm miserable. I've tried Benadryl (oral and cream) and that didn't stop the itching. Hydrocortisone works for about an hour and then it stops...

Severe Diaper Rash During Flu

My son who is 15 months old has had the flu for about 4 or 5 days now and has awful and I mean really awful diaper rash from all the diarrea he has had. What can I do to help clear it up and make it less painful. I am using just a spray bottle of warm water and paper towels to clean his bottom & was putting on generic Desitin but that doesn't seem to be helping. Any advice would be appreciate as we are both miserable and the doctor can't see us until next week.

Head Itches from Allergies

Hi moms! This is almost embarrassing to talk about but my head itches so bad I want to scrub it with a Brillo Pad. I know the first thing most moms will go with is lice and that's not the issue. It's bad allergy time for me right now. I've always had a moderate amount of itching all over when this time hits but this is out of control this year. I'm thinking that it's worse since I've had my daughter in May. Lots of things that used to effect my body mildly are worse now after pregnancy so I'm just assuming this is one of them. What...

Hydrocortisone Cream and 6 Month Olds Face

My ped. put my son on perscription Hydrocortisone cream a few weeks ago for red spots, dry spots on his face. I have had skin issues all my life and have always been told not to use HC for a long period of time. I try to not use the cream all the time, so I apply when he has the spots and when they go away I stop, BUT they come back a day or two later. Should I stop using this and find something else, call the doctor? Or just use it?? Any suggestions?
