What's a good prescription excema cream to ask for for my 3 year old?

Have used Elidel once but at 40euros a (small) tube, hardly cost effective plus just read it can cause a higher risk of skin cancer so am reluctant to ask for it again. Also is aloe vera good as a general daily cream. Son has flair ups behind knees and in elbows.|||I have used a non prescription product, a natural health product. SkinFix Body Repair Paste, skinfix.ca. Body Repair Paste is made with botanical extracts and has many natural properties, a few are anti itch, styptic, anti bacterial, anti yeast, fungicide, anti microbial, anti inflammatory, antioxidant, and promotes healing.

|||Guess I need my eyes checked to.





I am new here and can%26#039;t figure out why people ask questions and then choose answers that are way out in left field.





That is why I would rather read the Q %26amp; A%26#039;s and keep my answers to myself. Report Abuse

I guess just take it for granted that when someone asks a specific question, they want a specific answer.





I just like reading it all and this happens allot. If you wanted a natural solution..You should have asked for one. Report Abuse
|||Try Arbonne%26#039;s baby care products. Recently received a picture of a 3 yr. old who had been treated with Arbonne.


The before and after pictures were amazing.. The products are herbal and botanical, completely safe, and I highly recommend them. You can only get them through an Arbonne consultant.|||I use Cutivate and Dermatop. I don%26#039;t know if they%26#039;re good for a 3 year old, but it wouldn%26#039;t hurt to ask. I think Cutivate is probably the better option, because I was given it to use on my face because I think the Dermatop was too strong for the skin on my face. Good luck!|||I have atopic dermatitis and have had it for over 40 years.The best prescription medicine is Hydrocortisone cream,but it is not to be over-used because it thins the skin to help heal the rash. You use it two to three times a day and after bathing. As a child,this is what I was prescribed.Over the years I have tried many different prescription medicines.My dermatologist used to make up a hydrocortisone cream with moisturizers;it%26#039;s now available over-the-counter as Cortaid with moisturizers. I find that the Cortaid works just as well as any prescription medicine that I%26#039;ve tried.More important than medication,a good skin care regime is needed:no soaps or scented cleaners,or scented,highly colored lotions.Cetaphil cleansers and moisturizing lotion,the cream,are just as important in helping the skin during flareups. Eczema is exacerbated by the loss of the skin%26#039;s natural moisture barrier,so moisture needs to be replaced.The moisturizing cream needs to be applied several times a day to keep the skin moist;the medicine only needs to be applied two-three times a day and after bathing.Aloe Vera won%26#039;t help dermatitis.Nor will Vaseline or any cream or ointment containing benzocaine or any-caine derivative. And of course,lanolin is to be avoided at all costs.


Good lotions are Cetaphil,Eucerin,Sarna.


I%26#039;ve used Lidex,and I%26#039;ve used Prednisone...I won%26#039;t recommend the Prednisone because there are side effects and the rash comes right back after the course has been taken. I was one of the first to try Protopic(Ihated it and threw it out).


I must say that some rashes will take a very long time to burn out completely,no matter what medication .My worst flare up lasted for four years and I used Prescription hydrocortisone,


Lidex,Prednisone,


and Protopic.I hated the Protopic;it burned,I complained and went back on the hydrocortisone,this time with added moisturizers.The rash eventually went away,and I%26#039;ve stuck to using hydrocortisone and lots of Cetaphil cream for all other rashes.


Protopic and Elidel are both to be avoided at all costs;you know about the link to skin cancer.





Your son should wear all cotton clothes if at all possible;the cotton lets perspration evaporate away from the skin;polyester and rayon don%26#039;t.Perspiration can cause flare-ups.


Keep his nails short and clean;less damage is done if he scratches.|||This is what was prescribed for my daughter (6) which is working well.
