Dry itchy skin... - Infant Care (up to 18 months old) Message Board

My 6 month old has really dry itchy skin mostly on her tummy and back, doctor says dermititis due to bad winter (canada this year has been wicked)
Does anyone have any tricks for this, it seems the more cream and stuff I put on the worse it gets...

Baby lotion is the worse, so don't use that. They have a lot of perfume and alcohol in them. Eucerin for sensitive skin is good. but what I found works the best is vasaline after their bath and have their onsie and pjs to cover it. They get pretty slick

By morning I would see a huge difference. Hope it helps

I have a great one for you. I've used the Aquaphor by Eucerin and it's so greasy - and didn't work at all for my LO. I recently got advice to use Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Moisture Cream. It WORKS!!!! I couldn't believe how fast it worked for her eczema - it's really amazing stuff! Not greasy at all, either. I got it at Toys R Us, but I am sure they have it at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, etc.. I'm stocking up on it the next time I go shopping!

Best of luck!
