When I was a child my mother used Zinc Ointment. But my first suggestion would be to take the child to a skin Dr. Hope this helps.


Use emollients every day. Do not hesitate to apply topical steroids as prescribed by your pediatrician or family doctor.

Topical corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). [...] Topical steroids should be applied only to areas of acute exacerbations, whereas emollients should be used over the remainder of the skin. The absorption of topical steroids is much better through hydrated skin; thus, the ideal time for application is in the first 3 minutes after a bath or shower. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/911574-treatment

How do I treat severe eczema on a child who has it from head to toe?

Do NOT use store bought soap with all its additives and preservatives. Use natural soap with honey, oats and calendula since all those have healing properties like the one we make at lavendersoap.org. What is more is it has shea butter to seal in moisture. My sons eczema is actually the reason we started making soap in the first place. Since we have been using the calendula soap he hasn't had an outbreak and we don't even have to use lotion anymore! Good luck!
