A member asked:

My son is 3 months old and i believe he has eczema. he has it around his face, patches on his arms & patches on his scalp, he also has cradle cap. it itches him so much. he begins to itch and it flares it up all over again. i really feel bad for him.

Let his doctor look: Kids with eczema have dry areas of skin, and are drier overall. Dermatologists recommend CeraVe for it's ceramides ingredient, which helps make eczema patches more normal. One can add hydrocortisone 1% cream, twice a day for a week, to normalize the skin faster (his pediatrician can show where to put hydrocortisone, and where it is not needed). Cradle cap may or may not need hydrocortisone.
