Severe eczema

Asked for Male, 1 year

My 5 month old baby has eczema. Just recently, he had a bad flare-up in which he was weeping from both legs, arms, hands and cheeks. For 80% of the day he is suffering with rash and seems to have no relief at all. He scratches and cries continuously throughout the day and wakes up in his sleep. None of the remedies we tried have produced relief such as ointments, eczema creams, cortisone. His mother has altered her diet to accommodate him accordingly. Is weeping a sign of infection? what to do?

Dear Patient,

Could you please explain to me what you mean by weeping? Do you mean there is some fluid leaking? If so then yes you may need to show a specialist for detailed treatment. You could use Aveeno eczema baby products to bathe him and apply its lotion 6hourly. Try making him wear soft malmal/pure cotton fabrics.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
