Can Prolonged Use of Hydrocortisone Cream Affect Growth of Child?

Hello moms. My 18 month old boy has chronic eczema since he was 6 months old and have been using a hydrocortisone cream prescribed by our pediatrician. We have been applying this cream, a 2.5% formulation cream since he was an infant with varying degrees of eczema relief. He has needed it on a daily basis and we have been applying it twice a day to his ankles, wrists and behind the knee--the areas that are affected. We also use Aquaphor and pretoleum jelly emollients to relieve his dry skin. We have not asked our pediatrician though...

Dry Skin Behind 5 Month Olds Ears?

Toddler Covered in Tiny Bumps - What Is This?

Hi mamas, I have a sweet 2.5 year old son who has suddenly developed teeny tiny bumps all over his body - back, arms, elbows, armpits, sides, thighs and cheeks. It's been going on for about two weeks, and at the same time he's developed a stuffy nose and cough, which seem like seasonal allergies. He's not scratching at all, sleeps well, and seems perfectly happy. But these bumps are driving me crazy; they're not red and don't appear to be itchy, so is it eczema? Or something else? We only do lukewarm baths twice a week with California...

Aquaphor, Eczema and Bum Genius Diapers

My son has severe eczema on his entire body and sometimes we are applying Aquaphor 3 times (or more) a day. I was told by Bum Genius reps that this cream would affect the absorbency of my Bum Genius diapers. I have been using Pampers but really want to cloth diaper. My son does not have a reaction to the diapers. It is more the issue of the diapers having a reaction to the creams I am using on his skin. Any suggestions? 1. Has anyone used Bum Genius AND used Aquaphor type creams and been successful in continuing to use the...
