Is this really eczema?!
Question: Is this really eczema!?
i have a 9m mos old baby who has been diagnosed with eczema since he was 3 mos old!. we gave him steroids and atarax at bedtime and until now his rashes are there everyday!. why would the rashes go away when he calms down and just returns when he scratches!. it' s really frustrating!. we lubricate him constantly with aquaphor, we bathe him only 2-3x a week,we use powdered oattmeal on his bath,he's not drinking cow's milk anymore!.his skin does not lichenify(thickened)!. tired of steroids since when he sleeps and he's calm, all the rashes goes away!. i have a derma who wants me to use steroids long term but since i'm also a health practioner im reluctant!.it's brutal to subject a small baby to too much steroids!. we also tried mymix,desonate but no luck he still wouldn't stop scratching even with mittens!.the only time he's not scratching is during playtime and when he sleeps!. pls help!.

I have had eczema for the better part of my life!. Mine flares up randomly and itches for most of the day!. It goes away during the night!. I find that my skin is more agitated during the day when I rub against clothing and other things!. This could be what is happening to your son!. During the day there are so many irritants!. Also, when I am distracted I don't scratch (which causes the redness and rash)!. It could be the same thing with your son when he is playing!. I also have a niece that has eczema worse than I do!. She was on steroids for a while when she was much younger because she wasn't able to control herself in terms of scratching!. Now that she's older she manages with aquaphor and the occasional steroid cream!. If you are having doubts about the steroids, contact your regular pedi about it and find out if there are other options that you can bring up to the derm!.!.!.
