Hi all mothers out there! I would like to start this threat for the purpose of sharing what is and how to treat/prevent/care for eczema and babies with eczema. I am also interested to learn from others who have baby/children suffering from eczema.
My daughter is now 4 months old. On her second month, I noticed bad rashes on her checks and chin. She also had cradle cap on the scalp, eyebrows and behind her ears as well as red tiny bumps all over her body. Initially I thought it was just some baby rash which will eventually go away. However, the rash stayed and I could tell my daughter is itchy as she scratced all the time. I finally took my daughter to a dermatologist and she was diagnosed with Atopic Eczema. I was not informed, aware and prepared for this. I had no knowledge of what was eczema before this as well. Hence I was very sad and stressed out for a while. Upon following my dermatologist care routine, she has gotten better. The tiny red bumps on her body have disappeared and the rash on her face is much better now. However, she still gets rashes here and there on and off especially around her chin, cheeck, behind the ears and neck. I can also see some discolouration on her skin (which my doctor said it will go away eventually). I am still worried and saddened.
Any mothers care to share what care routine that you practise that helps with the itch and prevent future eczema flare-ups?
