Xanda had hand, foot and mouth and they looked like little blisters, he was not allowed back at daycare until all the blisters had popped. But apparently there are two diffrent strains of it.

Rohann's excema can get raised bump like patches that can come and go, but at the moment I'm finding the Lemnis cream and aqueous is maintaining very well. However Peachy we use the aqueous cream in the bath and find it a bit tricky (though getting better now) and was wondering, the Alpha Keri oil is that all you use in the bath? And do you just get from the chemist?

And yep, we use cloth wipes with water etc works really well. I also find them a bit more 'grippy' when cleaning a pooey bum. Though I got a special pack designed for use as cloth wipes, came with a tub for the water etc.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 10:40:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=377956&title=helpplease#377956 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=377855&title=helpplease#377855 Author: ElfsMum

On speaking to the naturopath today she seems to think she might be allergic to pectin that is in apples and is a preservative in most food. Her other trigger is stress, if she gets uptight about something, wham she has it all over her torso.

I had exzema as a baby, so no surprise that she has it too. I grew out of it by 3 years old.

As for cloth wipes, I just got some cheap baby cloths from Farmers and they work a treat.]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 21:31:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=377685&title=helpplease#377685 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=377678&title=helpplease#377678 Author: ElfsMum

L's exzema is very patchy, mostly on her torso. No I am not on a special diet, I am just avoiding apples!

She is fine on pears and bananas so thats all I give her fruit wise.

Cloth wipes are just as easy as cloth naps. I use both cloth naps and cloth wipes, only disposables when we go out and at night cause I can't be bothered with her wetting through the bed.

We use aqueous cream twice a day and Alpha Keri Oil in her bath water.]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 21:26:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=377676&title=helpplease#377676 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=377650&title=helpplease#377650 Author: ElfsMum

Talking of wipes, Lauren is allergic to them. I use cloth wipes with water and only use wet wipes when out and about as they are easier.

I would just keep an eye on it, but sometimes Laurens exzema can look like raised blisters especially if shes scratched it a bit.

Hydrocortizone is a normal exzema prescription. As I say its just not for prolonged use. I use it very occasionally on Laurens bad patches, otherwise I went to the Homeopathic shop and got a natural exzema remedy that I use a couple of times a day and generally it stops it in its tracks and its definately ok for babies skin!

Interestingly Lauren s trigger is apple. I cannot eat an apple anywhere near her, her exzema becomes so red and aggressive, and I dare not give her any apple or she gets really bad!]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 20:39:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=377578&title=helpplease#377578 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=377533&title=helpplease#377533 Author: ElfsMum

Thats the same as what Lauren was perscribed for her exzema. Only use it quite sparingly as its not that good for our skin! (You probably already know that anyway)!!

It does work well and clears the exzema up though!]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 19:51:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=377529&title=helpplease#377529 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=377513&title=helpplease#377513 Author: ElfsMum

I would ring and make an appointment at the normal docs for late this afternoon and then you can cancel it if need be depending on what the allergy doc says.
Good luck. ]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 08:38:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=376914&title=helpplease#376914 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=376900&title=helpplease#376900 Author: ElfsMum

on a good note we got the CDA so that's good...(and this is crossposted so more people see it)

but anyway Ethan had his bottle (as normal Pepti jr) and came out in raised red spots mostly on tummy..seemed fine though has been spilling a little more than usual..rang Rodney Ford(allergy doc) and they are ringing back today but while i was on the phone the bumps went back down..but after they closed the bumps came back..and came back a little with bottles last night..he's sleeping fine..still a bit spilly but perfectly happy.. do i take him to ordinary doc? or do i wait for Rodney and see what he says? have to add some more so its not double posting. ]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 08:28:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17014&PID=376900&title=helpplease#376900
