Eczema?

Question

So my seven week old has little red bumps on her ear and chest and cheeks not severely but they are visible and sometimes she seems irritated with it like she’s itchy and i noticed it’s when she gets hot it gets worse. Could it be eczema? I didn’t know they can get it so young

Answer

My baby is 11 weeks and he has eczema all over. His dr says it’s normal as they are adjusting to being outside of the womb. We live in an especially dry area as well. I just bathe him in eucerin. I even put it in his hair. This has the consistency of crisco basically. We do bath time before bed and after his bath I put this all over him! It’s worked wonders for us. It works overnight on his especially dry areas. It the morning I use a different lotion of the same brand but one that isn’t quite as thick and I do the same thing put it all over him. Works sooooo well!

Answer

Has your baby had his shots recently? I still don’t know if it was coincidence or if it had to do with shots, but my first baby started getting eczema really bad right after her 6 month shots and my second baby right after his 2 month shots. One pediatrician told me eczema was normal in baby’s, the next that it was caused by the weather. Needless to say I didn’t go back to either of them. Eczema is not normal in baby’s! Later on it turned out both their eczema was caused by allergies.
