My experience with dermatitis, eczema

Article in Draft Mode

Condition: Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and similar skin condition

Note: This is all that relates to my experience and may or may not help others with similar condition. Do discuss this with the doctor before taking any actions.

My Kid was having this condition and we went through various doctors, dermatologist, hospital visits. Gone through a really worst period which I don't want to highlight here as I would like to highlight the solution that work to certain level for us.

The products that we tried and worked for us

Shampoos and Conditioners:

Dermaveen Shampoo and Conditioner

Bath Oils and Bath wash:
Use the products from
- QV (Wash, Bath Oil)
- Deermaveen (Wash and Bath Oil)

Creams:
  • Aveeno ( Green one) for daily moisturising and can be used all over the body and head. It is non pore blocking as well.
  • QV Cream
  • Eucerin, if the skin is heavily dry
Steroids or Corticosteroids:
Antihistamine:
If the baby get really irritated and can't cope with the itchiness, can't sleep, polaramine worked for us. Refer to CMI.

Suggestion:
  • Give plenty of water to the kids
  • Try avoiding woollen clothing and stick to cotton or cotton-polyester. I prefer cotton only.
