eczema bleach baths
Has anyone used tea tree oil to treat infant eczema?
I refuse to use the new bleach bath method, but heard tea tree oil may help? If you used it, did it help a lot and what brand?
Please do not bother to mention Eucerine, Aquafor, Aveeno or cortisone. Already tried all of those.
Did actually go to see a dermatologist for her. He prescribed a cortisone cream that is good for infants of her age (4 months), but that was it. You can only use it for two weeks at a time at most. It works great until she’s done with the two weeks, then it slowly comes back all over her back and shoulders.
Have you taken him/her to an infant dermatologist? I took my daughter and she was prescribed two different medications to mix together to put on the eczema, and another body cream. Within 2 weeks it cleared it all up!
Before you try tea tree oil, take him/her to a dermatologist.
ETA: My doctor prescribed this for my DD. He prescribed her Bactroban (an antibiotic cream) to mix with Mometasone (a moderate steriod). We are suppose to mix them together and apply to her legs 2X a day for 2 weeks, 1X per day for 2 weeks, and every other day for 2 weeks.
Also, he prescribed EpiCeram, a skin barrier cream to use a few times a day
The mild cortisone did nothing for my daughter. It worked for a week, then came back. The moderate cortisone along with the antibiotic cream really helped.
Good luck, I hope you find something that will work!
