My son's ezcema (eczema) reacted really well to a cream called Dermol.  It is an emollient with an antibacterail.

my fiance's son has ezcema (eczema) and he has the steroid creams but he doesn't like  him to use it. So he got him a lotion that doesn't contain alcohol in it because it burned him. i didn't even know that there was alcohol in some lotions. I believe he was using a lotion from Jergens and it seems to work well. Hope this helps.

Hello,
Apart from steroids which is basic treatment for eczema, topical emmolients to prevent moisture loss from the skin can be used because Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. If the eczema is more severe, phototherapy (a type of treatment that uses light therapy) or systemic (circulates throughout the body) medication like oral steroids may be prescribed but they are not used in children.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Thank You all for your responses. We have been trying Atopiclair from one week and looks like its working. all the redness is gone and we are massaging twice a day with olive oil and her skin looks soft and smooth.
