Baby Has Dry Skin? Eczema?

I have a 5 1/2 month old son. About a week ago I noticed a small rash-like area on his tummy. Since then it has spread to his shoulders and back. It's patchy and rough.

Diaper Rash Remedies

Hey Moms, i need some help. i have a 1 yr old that has gotten his first diaper rash. He got it really bad. He has been having runny stools and i believe it is from his 4 teeth that came in this week.

Help for Eczema??

My daughter is 2-yrs-old and has horrible eczema! We have tried everything from aquaphor to crisco...literally. The poor baby bites at her feet because they itch so badly. The creases of her arms flare up constantly, her legs are covered with spots of the rash, and her feet are so cracked from her itching. She breaks out everywhere except her face. What can I do? Topicals the doctor has prescribed haven't helped at all. I feel so sorry for her. Please help!!!
