A member asked:

What is a good facial moisturizer for a 4 month old baby girl who suffers from eczema? she's transitioning off from a steroid ointment. vaseline ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eczema: Vaseline is fine provided you prevent it from getting into her mouth. Moisturizers in ointment or cream form are better than lotions.
