My 6 Yr Old's Eczema Is Awful!

We use Aquaphor, hydra-cortisone cream as well as cream prescribed by her doctor - but her eczema is so persistent! We use 'free' detergent, no fabric softener, and she showers instead of taking a bath, so the shampoo and soaps (also FREE) do not sit on her skin. We've had her tested for allergies - nothing. Dermatologist is next! Any advice? And now that the warmer months are coming, any sunscreen recommendations? Thanks!

Seeking Advice Re: 7-Month Old Who Scratches

I've been loyally reading everyone's postings everyday and finally have one I need your help with. Our 7-month old delicious girl is generally very easy - great eater, decent sleeper, pleasant temperament, smiley, giggly, etc. However, she has this "habit" that's very frustrating and we fear that it's harmful for her. When she's tired or fussy -- although she sometimes does it when she seems to be neither -- she scratches herself. She started with her cheeks, I'm guessing b/c that's all she could reach. Lately, it's right hand on the...

Seeking Proven Eczema Solution for 6 Month Old

My 6 month old daughter has developed a terrible case of eczema over her arms, legs, trunk, and face. She is usually in good spirits, but scratches all day. I have tried Renew lotion, Aveeno and Aquaphor with no success. I have been feeding her Nutramigen since she was 2.5 months old due to her crying and twisting during feeding and I concluded she must be allergic to cow's milk protein. We started solids about 4 weeks ago - fruits, veggies and meat only so far. Has anyone won the eczema war? And if so, how?
