The ABC Homeopathy Forum
5 month old with bad eczema
My 5 month old son has had eczema since he was about 2.5 months. We have tried just about every home remedy. I have been to a naturpathic doctor but she didn't help much I think we might have to go to someone else. We took him to the regular doctor but they just prescribed steroids which we have not given him.He has eczema on both cheeks, his arms, behind his knees and down the back of his calves. He does get spotty breakouts on his stomach and back but if he is wearing a shirt it seems to keep the breakouts from getting to bad there.
He is such a happy baby otherwise, laughs and plays. But the itching drives him crazy. It has not gone away since he got it at 2.5 months old. It goes from raw, wet and weepy to really dry and scabby.
I really need help with this, I'm sick of my baby suffering.
