Dry skin remedies for kids
I have a 3 yr. old boy, and he's really dry skin. He itches so much that he starts getting red all over. (He doesn't have any rashes or boo boo's before the itching) I've tried Hydrocortizone, regular baby lotion, Aveeno eczema lotion and just about everything else. Nothing works! I asked his pediatrician and he suggested all I could do is the Hydro cortizone. All that does is clear up the redness or swelling after he itches. But it doesn't stop the itching. Help would be great. TIA.
Re: Dry skin remedies for kids
This doesn't get rid of the eczema, but preventative measures include::
Cooler baths
Infrequent bathing (skip a day or skip two days between baths)
Using Dove soap / body wash
I think aveeno also has the oatmeal bath - - I have used that as well (but stopped in favor of the Dove which was cheaper and more available)

I had a friend who used L'occitaine shea butter lotion for her kids and swore by it, but I have never used it myself - I also don't know if any shea butter product will do or it has to be L'occitaine.
Skin of a child is very soft and sensitive therefore cosmetic products don?t suit them. You can try some homemade remedies for better results. Apply mixture of rosewater and glycerin on your child body to get rid of dry skin problem.
