Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 6 month old baby had dry patches on her back, hands and legs. My ode advised on using Aveeno eczema cream. I started applying this last week. The dry patches in her hands and legs are gone. However, I see many small rashes have appeared on her back. Some of them have yellow crust. The same red rashes with few of them having yellow crust have appeared in her eyelids too. I think it is not itchy, as my baby doesn t try to scratch it or behaves cranky. I still continue to use Aveeno eczema. Cud this be food allergy? I ve started solids for baby. She eagerly eats lures and cereal and doesn t behave cranky.
Hi...food allergy doesn't manifest like this. This is eczema. I understand your concern. As a matter of fact even my kid had this when young. The trick of the management is keeping the skin moist and never allowing it to be dry. For this oil massage and lotions like Oilatum 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 Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health. Dr. Sumanth MBBS., DCH., DNB (Paed).,
