Acid Mantle (Cream Mixed with Hydrocortisone) - Is It Safe?

I have a 15 month old son who has extremely sensitive skin and had horrible ezcema (sp?) since he was an infant. We found out that it was mostly caused by an allergy to pet dander so we had to give up our pug. Well, we have been using a prescription cream on him called A-Mantle since he was about 6 months old that our Pediatric Allergist prescribed (who is associated with CHOP). This cream is a hydrocortisone mixed with some other type of cream. We use it on him practically every single day (since he still has ezcema). I specifically...

Splotchy Skin on My 16 Month Old's Joints

My 16 month old daughter has developed white splotches around her elbows and knees. She's had them for about 2 months. She has eczema (on her feet tops, back of one knee and on one wrist and hand), but has pretty much outgrown it. I've been using Aveeno overnight lotion for about 4 months. I don't use hydrocortisone cream.

Wondering If Son Is Allergic:(

My son is 15 months old and since he was born I have been going back and forth between Huggies diapers and Pampers. Really what ever is on sale and if neither I would buy Huggies. Well my problem is about 2 1/2 months ago he started to scratch his upper butt. At times it is really bad that it will bleed. It looks horrible again. Over the last months it seems to get better and then come back. Well right now it is really really bad. I was thinking about it and for the last 3 weeks it has just been huggies I have been using and is seems...

Can Prolonged Use of Hydrocortisone Cream Affect Growth of Child?

Hello moms. My 18 month old boy has chronic eczema since he was 6 months old and have been using a hydrocortisone cream prescribed by our pediatrician. We have been applying this cream, a 2.5% formulation cream since he was an infant with varying degrees of eczema relief. He has needed it on a daily basis and we have been applying it twice a day to his ankles, wrists and behind the knee--the areas that are affected. We also use Aquaphor and pretoleum jelly emollients to relieve his dry skin. We have not asked our pediatrician though...

Allergic to Gummy Flintstones?

Has anyone had a kid that turned out to be allergic to Gummy Flintstone vitamins? My daughter has a BAD peanut allergy plus fish and then milk and eggs to a lesser degree (eczema). The gummy flintstones have a coconut (tree nut) warning. My daughter tested negative to tree nuts. However, after 3 weeks of these vitamins, her eczema was so bad, she was literally scratching little holes in her bend of her elbow, joint at her wrist, back of her knees, etc. I took her off yesterday and switched to regular HARD Flintstones (1/2 a tab as she...

Allergic Reaction to Fabric Bandaids (Ouch) All Help Greedily Accepted!

So with the onset of the pouring rain last week I decided to make a oven dinner last week - but forgot that ovens get hot! So I burned my forearm while grabbing dinner from the oven. Here is where my stupidity comes into play. I know that I had an allergic reaction 20 years ago to the adhesive in fabric bandaids, but they were the only ones I had that were big enough to cover up the leaking burn. So I had my daughter help me put them on (meanwhile she is scolding me to NOT to use the bandages - gotta love the tweenies) Well, just...
