I think the aquaphor made it worse on my son too. Bathing him once every 3 days has helped. My dr told me to only bathe him once a week but I feel like that isn't enough. I apply the Honest Co. healing balm once a day and that's gotten rid of it almost completely.
I hope nobody here tries the bleach in the water suggestion above. That is a terrible idea for so many reasons.
Can you tell me why the bleach would be bad? I haven't tried it. Not sure if I will, but my Dr recommended it.

I can't believe your doctor would recommended that. That would be enough for me to find a new doctor. The chemicals in bleach are caustic. Not to mention exposure to just the gases from bleach are known to cause cancer and all sorts of other health problems. I can't even imagine what bathing in it would do. If you google bleach and health risks... a ton of stuff comes up. Even the Clorox website says "using a bleach and water solution for bathing is not approved by the EPA and should not be done."

Honestly it sickens me that some doctors are that ridiculous. Eczema is sometimes opened or raw and introducing bleach straight to he blood steam and on a child no less is horrible. I don't even use bleach in my house or laundry because of its toxicity.

I don't use bleach either. I don't even have it in the house. The fumes really bother me. But, the bath is supposed to be very diluted, supposedly like a chlorinated swimming pool. I'm still not sure if I will try it. Thinking about taking her to the pool instead, lol. DD has very bad eczema. It was actually suggested by one Dr and a different Dr agreed it would be worth a try.

I used the aveeno oatmeal bath and lotion and his skin looks much better and he STTN! I honestly think the aquaphor was making it worse.
.
Once you stopped the aquaphor, how long did it take you to notice improvement?
We stopped aquaphor last night, and I wonder if we'll see an improvement.
DD's eczema comes and goes, so I don't know if its related to the aquaphor (since we use it everynight, if it is related, it would never "go", right?)
