It could just be dry skin, not necessarily eczema. If they are scratching it madly then it is likely eczema though. ]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 11:17:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=128147&title=exczema#128147 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=128127&title=exczema#128127 Author: Leish

Thanks everyone. Will def get the GP to check it out. Neither DH or I have or have had it so it might just be what his skin is doing at the mo. I hope so anyway.]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 10:33:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=128127&title=exczema#128127 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=128103&title=exczema#128103 Author: AnnC

Rhyley has dry scaley skin on his cheeks at the mo, as his sister gets ezcema I thought he maybe getting it as well, like you I am off to the drs this week for the other 2 so will ask. I have been putting cream on his cheeks and they have cleared alot but still scaly and a little red.
Brooke developed ezcema after having hormone spots and with teething it just didn't go away and got worse. Now she gets it all over her body , it comes and goes in how bad it is but is worse in summer - probably due to sunscreen, swimming pools and sweat etc...]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 10:01:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=128103&title=exczema#128103 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=128079&title=exczema#128079 Author: Kellz

When Isla's hormone spots finally began to clear, both her cheeks went very very dry and scaley, but it was just the way it went as it was healin/clearing up,..not eczema. But if u go to the GP they are likely to give u aqueous cream ( as a first treatment) which is a good moisturiser which will help both conditions.]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 09:07:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=128079&title=exczema#128079 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=128074&title=exczema#128074 Author: busymum

Yep it will be diagnosed just by looking. Excema is often genetic so you or DH might have it (or have had it as children). The dry scaley patches sound about right. Sometimes it's itchy or slightly red but Briona just has super-dry, sometimes patchy, skin. They say most kids grow out of the excema thing in their first year, certainly Briona's has been a lot better this year but still not totally gone.]]> Tue, 10 Apr 2007 08:52:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=128074&title=exczema#128074 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=127998&title=exczema#127998 Author: Leish

Hi all

After reading through Emma's thread I wondered, how do you know your baby has exczema as opposed to the baby acne on their face and body? Noah had some baby acne a couple of weeks ago and it has pretty much cleared up but his skin on his cheeks is quite dry and scaly feeling now. Could this be exczema? He's off to the GP this week so I will get him to have a look at it. Can the GP diagnose exczema just by looking at it?

Thanks everyone]]> Mon, 09 Apr 2007 22:08:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6636&PID=127998&title=exczema#127998
