Concerns Over Eczema Drugs For Three Month Old Babies

Filed Under Baby Eczema, Eczema Drugs, Eczema News, Eczema Pain Relief, Eczema Treatment | 2 Comments

While I do not doubt the concern to help babies find relief from their [tag-tec]eczema[/tag-tec] by dermatologists, I am not sure if the method of using drugs is the best.

Dermatologists at UT Houston medical school are currently looking for volunteers for a new research study using an [tag-dtec]eczema[/tag-dtec] drug that has worked successfully on older kids.  They are hoping to use the drug on babies as young as three months old.

Granted, it’s very difficult to help a baby with sensitive skin that erupts into a rash which is itchy and inflammed.  Screaming away at his or her discomfort can really tear a parent’s heart.

I’ve come across products that can help bring down the symptoms; like organic clothing and bedding for baby eczema.  Also, herbal oil moisturizers are known to help. Making sure that there are no dust mites is another area that should be explored. However, I have to admit that I do not know of any best or recommended method of treating eczema in babies naturally and successfully. 

If anything, parents should not rely on the use of drugs for extended periods of time, whether the patient is a three month old baby or a 12 year old kid.  We all know that possible side effects exist.  Drugs for any kind of illness are no miracle “cures” – an important fact that we should remember.

Organic Cotton To Reduce Baby Eczema Inflammations

Filed Under Baby Eczema, Care for Eczema Skin, Eczema Treatment | 1 Comment

Eczema patients know that cotton is best.  But do you know that conventional cotton is also pretty toxic?

California is the only state where farmers are required to provide pesticide use reports. And a  review of this use showed that of the fifteen chemicals that these cotton farmers typically use, seven were probable cancer-causing pesticides, eight caused tumors and five caused mutations.  Chemicals that are used to treat conventional cotton can easily get absorbed through the skin.  An infant’s skin tends to be thinner, thus allowing more chemical toxins to pass through. 

If your baby is having eczema, you may find that he is fussy all the time.  Most babies tend to sleep a lot but not yours.  He may be having a lot of difficulty going to sleep or even a good rest if he is uncomfortable.  His skin may be extremely tender and sensitive to the conventional cotton used for his clothes or bedding.  It only makes sense for you to switch to organic cotton.   Organic cotton is not treated and is free of chemicals such as the heavy metals, chlorine, and formaldehydes.  Here is a site that you ought to check out NaturoEco.
