Elanie,
I am quite a eczema pro mummy liao, cos my #1 got eczema. Whatever cream in the market isn't going to work for my son. If your bb now already got eczema(purely milk only mah), you got to take note of few times...
01) Cow's milk - you might like to try changing to soya for 1 month.
02) Laundry detergent - no no fabric softener
03) Dust - environment
04) Water temp - Cannot too warm
05) Bathing time - not more than 10mins
06) Pat dry the skin after bath
07) Body shampoo - no no bubbles formula... best is DermaVeen bath oil
08) Moisturizer - Better ones are Physiogel and QV cream
If now yr bb's skin is red and raw, skin specialist got no choice but to start steriod cream to calm the skin down, later stage for maintaence will be Protopic cream($62/tube). Desowen is normal, Elomet is stronger steriod cream and Protopic is non-steriod so it is that x. I brought him to The Skin Specialist, Dr Thiru in Orchard9the California gym bldg and Dr Wong Su Ni from Paragon skin specialist. Aiyah... all the same one, say the same thing and same cream...
hen,
Hahahahaha.... very round looks like monk, oops no no, looks like nun!
