Moms with exczema problems ??

Saw a post yesterday discussing exczema and the different otc medicines that can help but can't find it. Can anyone recommend any good brands and creams I can use on my 11month old. I already use aveeno ( blue top) body wash and oatmeal scrub and the hydrocortisone lotion that his doctor prescribed but nothing seems to be working , just looking for any suggestion ??

It may be caused by something he is eating. Like eggs or dairy products.  When my son was 10 months he had a reaction to cheese. He outgrew it though. And now at 18 months he is fine

If you haven't tried a perfume and dye free detergent, that may help tremendously. ALL free and Clear is your best bet.

Have you maybe considered that its the dreft thats causing it? My firstborn was VERY allergic to dreft. We found out it was the perfume in it that was irritating her skin. Yes Aquaphor is sold at walmart, they have Aquaphor baby and reguler aquaphor. There the same in my opinion.
