Playing with Others: Aquaphor

Dealing with Eczema

I am the "momma" of a wonderful 9 almost 10 month old boy. He is having a tough time with the itchy, dry skin that eczema causes. There are times when it seems that it just drives him crazy and he scratches himself, at times to the point of bleeding. I try to distract him but I wish that I had something that would help with the itching. We rub him down 2 to 3 times daily with Aquaphor and his pedi has just given us a prescription of a steroid cream for bad outbreaks. After reading the precautions on the cream I really want to use it...
