Jake had this on his face and my doctor said to use cortozone cream 2X's a day. It went away in a few days.

My son also gets this on his face and I was told to use cortizone for kids. It works great. Use it a couple times and the redness is gone.

DH uses this on his eczema too, he has had it since a kid. If the lotion doesn't work, the kind of the tub is thicker.

FYI, Eucerin and Aquafor are from the same maker. The Aquafor is the ointment and Eucerin comes in lotion/cream.

Re: Eczema? Have any cures?
Ugh! We just went to the Dr. Thursday for this! 
His back was so rough and redder than it ever was I wasn't even sure it was eczema since he's only had it mostly on the back of the knees before.
Previously we had used Aquafor and over the counter Hydrocortisone 1% in a very, very, small amount.
He had been clear all summer then in the past week it came back horrible.
So the Dr, stepped it up to a prescription Hydrocortisone 2.5%, again a thin film and Childrens Benedryl for any itching (which I have noticed )
He wants me to cut down his Milk consumption to just breakfast as it could be a milk protein allergy. And to make sure that within 3 minutes of getting out of the bath, he should be lathered up with either Vaseline, Aquafor, etc after being towel dried but still moist. This will help to seal in moisture.
I would love to hear if anyone has some all natural or homepathic remedies though.
