I'm old but vividly remember suffering till early 20's. I still can't stand to have my skin touch my skin anywhere (behind knees, legs crossed, crook of the elbow, under the chin). Thank you for helping parents.

My baby had eczema. I stopped eating beef chicken and eggs during breast feed. Also i applied olive oil on his body daily. That helped it go away.

U can use a few drops or 15ml of iodine in your bath depending on the amount of water, and fourderm. It really helps

Hi Dr, is black seed oil good for eczema?

[jakai]

I found the video very helpful because I have a 12 month who has eczema since she was about 2 months and it is a ongoing battle and I was interested in getting the probiotic but they don’t sell that one here in the US. Any other brand that is similar that is sold in the US would be helpful

[mairead]

Hi My son who is 7 month has atopic dermatitis and he is getting it on his diaper area especially groin area. If anyone can suggest or have experience with this please help.

[Zkhan]

Hi whish probiotics is the best to take in pregnancy?

[jmh]

It’s almost exclusively diet. Son had it and grandson also. Igg and ige test show allergy/ sensitivities. Question is WHY not applying creams alone. It’s inflammation response.

[MyCentsYall]

Diet something they are eating or detergents or lotions.

[deeashcroft]

I am looking for the comment that states which probiotics have the ingredients discussed in the video. Can anyone help?

[blessingnkume]

Pls my baby boy of 4 months skin is bleached due to the hydrocortisone a doctor prescribed to clear his eczema and now I don't know what to do anymore

[caspargori]

Can I use combiderm on my baby? My baby is 1 year and 10 months old.

[evelynroseclemence]

Good day doctor. My baby grandson has eczema and I’ve been trying to find ways to ease his irritation. He does have prescribed creams which are used correctly. My question is about colloidal silver? Could a small amount be mixed with an aqueous cream and used on the babies skin?? What would your opinion be on trying colloidal silver??

Is it possible to be allergic to your own sweat . My grand nephew has had eczema for awhile. He is 10 years old now. And it seems too worsen in the summer. I have seen the boy actually writhe in agony from his skin overheating. I am currently having problems getting him to put his prescribed medication on. He says it burns. But if we aren't consistent with it he gets boils.
