best is to seek a doctor/professional advice... i had mine much later at the age of 4...
Cetaphille is a good soap to use but depending on your child's age...
try feeding him eel/unagi once a week. that helped for me

use isoderm for bathing or showering.

for skin care, i use to get the cream from famous clinic (Klinik Balkhis, Kota Bharu). Still haven't figure out the cream they use, mostly see the staff bancuh the cream by mixing of other products. so far the skin cream suitable for my son.

its allergy..
both my nieces also have this and keep scratching..
they went to a doc in Johor specialised in allergy/eczema..
depending on the seriousness of the allergy/eczema, they need to stop eating certain food..
one stop eggs, one stop sugary food... on top of that, certain medicine to eat as well..
both of them recovered a lot but will need to balance out for a year before it clears off 100%..

Don't sweat too much and try to cut down on food that triggers eczema. Use lotion such as Cetaphil, Ezzera.
Probiotics helps.

Recently we just found out our daughter has eczema too. Pity that she have to cut down on her favorite foods.

Does the Cepathil baby shower and cetaphil moisturizer help? Can the Cepathil baby shower use for hair wash?

Lastly, where did u do the allergy test and how much it cost?

Thanks!

It may be allergic to certain products, or it may be irritation, for example, due to diapers.
It is better to consult a doctor when a rash appears to prevent unpleasant consequences.

If there is no possibility to see a doctor, then pay attention to what foods you used before. What clothes on the child is dressed at this moment, what cream was used. All this can cause eczema.

i bought cetaphil baby shower + shampoo. 2 in 1. as for the moisturizer, cetaphil works best for my son since i tried quite a lot of brands. but then it depends on the child i believe. can give it a try and see whether it works for your daughter. i have tried QV, moogoo, aveeno (bought aveeno eczema in perth but cant find it in malaysia. here can find aveeno but not specifically for eczema. quite good as well), ezzera & few more

did allergy test in avisena (previously known as demc, in shah alam). cant really remember how much as it was yearsss back. suggest to give them a call to check on price and if you are ok to ask for appointment

went to demc (now known as avisena) in shah alam. egg & dust is very difficult to avoid. pity him as he can only see his friends enjoy birthday cake during birthday celebration but lucky now he understand cake got egg, egg will make him itch so he will also try to avoid eating anything with egg (he is now 3years+). however its very difficult to avoid flare up eventhough we avoid all those allergies factor. seems that i need to read more as well on eczema trigger factor..which might be a lot! doh.gif

It’s probably not just egg & dust. It could be something uncommon that wasn’t tested during the allergen test. So ideally keep a food diary too to track all the stuffs that your son consumed daily. Every time the eczema flares up, check back what he has eaten in the past 24 hours. It’ll help you identify his other eczema triggers.

Since eczema is an auto immune disorder, try to avoid inflammatory foods like gluten & sugar as well. Basically try to eat clean. While you’re at that, eat more foods that improves the immune system. Either directly eg ginger, turmeric, black seeds etc or indirectly eg probiotics, prebiotics, vitamin C etc.

Skincare wise, I’d usually suggest to use really simple & basic stuffs too. Less is more.

It’s gonna be a challenging struggle now, but hopefully with all those efforts, he’ll outgrow his eczema.
