Hi, I have a 4 month old which has been diagnosed with Excema. Im currently using hyderm cotrim (cortisone) and it helps stop the flareups. Im using moisturizing lotion on the rest of her body. When the flare ups are gone, I stop using the cortisone and Im noticing she s getting red behind her knees and they re wet. What can I do to prevent this?
Hi... I sympathize with the kid and understand your concern. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be Chat Doctor.  For this oil massage and lotions like Hiatus will help. Regarding cure options - eczema is a sort of allergy...allergies can only be controlled and can never be cured. But usually kids grow out of it...that is as the age progresses, they become better starting from 6 months. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
