This is a great article! I've got a son with eczema and I just wanted to comment that Cetaphil has macadamia nut oil as an ingredient and should be used with caution if there's a chance that the eczema is due to allergies. Moisturizers often carry other allergens such as nut oils, lanolin, milk, etc.

Christy that is a great point! you have to be really careful when using a new product on an infant with eczema. Until you know how your baby is going to react to the product it's better to just use it on a small portion of their body.

My daughter has it on her face because of her pacifier so our doctor recommended using a very small amount hydrocortisone cream until it starts to clear up and then Aquaphor until it disappears. Since she is getting all of her molars at once we depend on her pacifier...so this works well. Hope to help.
