Did your baby's facial eczema go away?

Question

My heart is broken looking at my 3 month olds face. He is covered in eczema. We are doing everything we can to help him but after another doctor's appointment they've told me that it may never go away and he could have it forever. He said they just don't know. 
Those of you whoa baby had facial eczema did it go away? If so when?

Answer

Yes it went away. Use unscented or baby detergent on YOUR clothes and babys clothing. That helped a ton with ours. Also unscented body wash like dove. Using less lotion on his face helped as well so I'd only lotion it every 3rd bath.

Answer

Once we ruled out allergies, we just applied a warm rag and Aquaphor all day until we would be referred to a dermatologist. He grew out of it around 7 months thankfully. I still have eczema so I was worried.

Answer

Is he breastfed or formula fed? If formula is he on a milk or a soy/allergen formula? Both of my kids have mild eczema and don’t have food allergies (just seasonal to tree pollen and grass and animals) however a lot of times it’s a sign of allergy in very young babies. Most common allergens are dairy, soy, tree nuts, gluten. If you’re breastfeeding then try cutting one allergen at a time from your own diet starting with dairy (the biggest culprit usually). You can also request baby to have an allergy blood test- it’s not the most accurate but it will give you an idea of what to avoid. 
If it’s not allergies then just tons and tons of lotion. I like to use fragrance free and all natural and have been using shea moisture products most recently.
