Vital Information Parents Should Understand About Natural Treatments For Baby Eczema

By Alma Reed


Some babies seem more prone to rashes than others. These skin disorders can create an uncomfortable situation for a child. However many parents have discovered that there are several natural treatments for baby eczema that can be used to relieve the problem.

One thing parents learn quickly with this problem is to be cautious of overly perfumed anything. Whether it is the soaps used for baths, oils, lotions or even laundry detergent, those heavy perfumes and even those we have been conditioned to associate with a baby can make life miserable. If at all possible, choose products that do not use these scents.

Once you find a brand of a product that seems to work, stock up on it. It seems that manufacturers are continually changing and improving products. Unfortunately, some of the ingredients in the improved formula may be the wrong thing for the child's skin condition. While the product may be improved for everyone else, you may find yourself looking once again for something that does not cause a child to break out. In some cases, the best option may be to make your own laundry detergent.

Avoid bathing the child every day. Switch to an every other day routine for regular baths. In most cases, this provides plenty of cleanliness and prevents the water from robbing the skin from needed moisture.

Replace soap with oatmeal. Try placing a small amount in the end of a cotton sock to wash the body. It provides the soapiness needed for the bath but soothes skin that has become irritated. Be sure to throw the oatmeal out after each bath.

Bleach added to bath water in small amounts can help to solve the child's problem. The ratio is very small, such as one quarter cup per twenty gallons of water. It is important that children not ingest bleach water. Water should remain lukewarm during the bath to prevent drying of the child's skin. After bathing, be sure to apply a moisturizer.

Sometimes home remedies fail and parents will need to resort to Hydrocortisone or other medication to provide relief to the child. If the medications available over the counter do not work, speak with a doctor about a prescription for a better quality medication. The doctor may provide one or more medications to help the child to feel better.

No one wants to see a child suffer. If a skin condition is causing irritation that is itchy and irritated, then these natural treatments for baby eczema may be helpful. Sometimes the most effective therapy is prevention of the problem in the first place.
