Baby Eczema



Poor Max has baby Eczema as confirmed by our pedi last visit. We were having the worst time with him scratching up his head (even when I trimmed the nails) until we started to turn him into Mr. Sockhands! We put socks on his hands during nap time and bedtime and we also lather him up with Aquaphor. These pics are right after we started Mr. Sockhands, so his head is still a little scratched up.

Those two things seem to be managing it ok, but it's still there and I wish there was something else I could do to make it completely go away (besides lotions/detergents/etc.). The doctor said he would just outgrow it, but I'd like to ask some more questions and do some more research on the topic.

Any of you have poor itchy scratchy babies out there? Anything work for you besides the usual things?
