These are the products in which she as used or still is using.
1) Flocinolone 0.25 mg
2) Elidel 1%
3) DiFlorasone diacetate 0.05%
4) Triple Paste
5) Aveeno Baby - Soothing Relief Moisture Cream
6) Black Soap w/Shea Butter (Nubian Heritage)
7) Oats/Aloe Cream (Nubian Heritage)
8) Raw Shea Butter
I'm really frustrated and all out of ideas. I've been doing some research and I see "Evening Primose" 500 mg is good to use on the skin. I also read that "Sulphur" is good for itching.
These are the products in which she as used or still is using.
She is going to see yet another dermatologist in a week, but I'm not really comfortable with using steroids at such a young age.
If anyone had eczema as a child or has a child with eczema, what is your remedy? "Homeopathic" preferrably.
Thanks.

My daughter had very bad eczema on her cheeks when she was a baby. I know you're looking for homeopathic, but topical steroids prescribed by her pediatrician is what cleared it up (I can't remember which one - it's been 10 yrs). This summer, her eczema flared up on the inside of her arms. Mind you - Cortaid didn't work, or Elidel, so our Dr. Prescribed Locoid, which is expensive, but worked. She is also allergic to almost everything and is asthmatic. We also have used the Black Soap and Raw Shea Butter - excellent for the rest of the body, didn't work on the eczema areas (I have it also).
Good luck in finding something that works for your baby - I hope she feels better.
