Can salt baths help soothe eczema skin?
Thanks for the tip on the hydrator and bleach bath!
I have used every thing on the market. Nothing works. When it does clear up it leaves marks. What can I do about this.
My daughter has severe eczema which we think are caused by allergies (testing to be done soon). She has been on topical steroids since before she was 1 years old. Since starting the steroids, her growth slowed significantly. Our doctor (new ped) suggested the steroids were hindering her physical growth. Could this be possible? We used it whenever her skin would flare up, which was a lot. The topical cream was like a bandaid but the next day it would be just as bad. We didn’t know what else to do, we kept using the cream because it gave her some relief from the itching. It is so hard to see your kid so uncomfortable!
