Re: Emulsifying Ointment and Hydrocortizone Ointment
I have 3 children who have ezcema (9,3,1.5 yrs old). Tried everything, even expensive creams and products from USA. But still on-off.
This works well with them-
Daily use of emulsifying ointment specially on dry areas (at least 3X)
Bathing every other day (using burts bee baby soap).
Mix hydrocortizone ointment and emulsifying ointment and apply on worst areas.
No yogurt, cheese, banana, anything with orange flavoring, wheat.
I'm not sure about this, my parents advised me to cut down on their sweets since both sides of our family have diabetes and we noticed a big improvement on their skin. Maybe its related to people with diabetes are prone to infections and skin problems.
Can't wait for the day they will outgrown it. My 9 yrs old seems ok now but has flareups if there is a drastic change of temp (season changes).
Goodluck to all.
