Reddit mentions of Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment with 100% Natural Colloidal Oatmeal for Treatment & Relief of Dry, Itchy, Irritated Skin Due to Poison Ivy, Eczema, Sunburn, Rash, Insect Bites & Hives, 8 ct.

Yeah this looks like moderate/severe eczema. Basically looks like my skin when I was a kid.

1. Food allergy testing. People with eczema have overactive immune systems, and the odds are good there is a food allergy issue as well. Better to know sooner rather than later.
   
   
2. Absolutely remove any scented detergents, soaps, perfumes, etc from her life to the extent you can. No fabric softener/dry sheets. Get some wool dryer balls to use as a way to soften fabrics instead of using residue-leaving sheets. No perfume or makeup. Scent free sunscreen.
   
   
3. She needs a steroid cream. There are several formulations (lotion, cream, ointment) and several strengths (typically from 0.05% to 0.25%). You need to find a dermatologist who actually cares enough to prescribe her one. This is a very routine treatment and shouldn't actually be causing you difficulty to find. So I'm very sorry for you and your daughter that this has been difficult so far. Steroid creams can be harmful with intense and long term use, but they will dramatically help flare ups get under control. And, luckily, less dangerous drugs are literally coming onto the market next year (Dupilumab and others).
   
   
4. House cleanliness. She may be having issues from dust, pet dander, mold, etc as well. Regular and intensive vacuuming and dusting and cleaning bed linens is critical.
   
   
5. Lotions need to be scent free and actually moisturizing. Some good ones to try other than the Cerave: Cetaphil, Aveeno (once you've ruled out oat allergy), Avene, and Aquaphor. Some of these brands make eczema-specific formulations that are worth a shot as well.
   
   
6. No more hot showers and lower the frequency of showering as much as you can.
   
   
7. Some home remedies that can help: bleach baths (google to make sure you've got the right ratios), oatmeal baths (you can buy packets of it on Amazon or in drug stores)
   
   
8. Education. Eczema has been called "the scratch that makes the itch." What this means is that sometimes an errant scratch is all it takes to set off an intense event of itchiness that makes you go crazy until you've ripped your skin open. She has to learn to try to resist the itching, because the more you scratch, the more you itch. It's so hard when you're a kid. But my mom would do things like putting gloves or socks on my hands at night to try to help. Benadryl, Zyrtec or other antihistamines may help as well.
   
   If you were doing things a few years ago that made it not as bad, start doing them again. Eczema is sometimes a lifelong affliction (my situation). It's a constant battle against the immune system, so you can't give up things that made a difference
   
   

Hooo boy, you are preaching to the choir. Okay, first things first. DO not use anything on your skin that has fragrances or dyes. I'm not sure where you're currently living but I know in the US Aveeno makes a line of fragrance and dye free products. The second thing I can recommend is seeing an endocrinologist. The kind of skin irritation you're describing can (not always, mind you) be attributed to a hormone imbalance. Especially if your skin type changed drastically around puberty. Finding a good dermatologist is paramount- there are a lot of sites dedicated to rating doctors, and failing that find any physician you use and like (GP, gyno, etc) and see if they can recommend anyone. Also ask around- friends, family, etc. to see if there are any other suggestions. When my skin is being especially unfriendly, I do an oatmeal bath- again, I like the Aveeno for this one. Lots of people also recommend elimination diets but I would not do that without consulting a general practioner or dermatologist. In the mean time, I would try to limit sun exposure, and any exposure to chemicals (cleaning fluids, use dye and fragrance free laundry detergent and the like) for a while, and try to remain calm- stress is another thing that can inflame your skin. Sorry for the length of this, but I hope it helps!

Yes to: Oatmeal (specifically colloidal oatmeal- Dr. Dray has a good video on this), Niacinamide, Green tea, Chamomile and Raw honey.

No to: Coconut oil and Lavender essential oil - these really aren't good for sensitive facial skin!

Don't have much experience with the others.

My new favorite skincare thing is making a mask with 1 tsp Aveeno colloidal oatmeal (https://www.amazon.com/Aveeno-Soothing-Treatment-Itchy-Irritated/dp/B000UEAARO), 1 tsp raw honey, and 1 tsp yogurt. I've seen a lot of people on this sub make a similar mask.

I've had this issue with Bean for over a year! His spot though is towards the bottom of his quills though, like towards his butt. At one point his was on Revolution for six months, didn't make a single difference. Now I give him oatmeal baths every 2 weeks, and put a drop or two of olive oil in his food. The oatmeal bath also helps with the dry skin he gets in the winter, and I use it from time to time.

You'll have to try a few things to see what works and what you (your body) likes. Here's what I've done in the past when I've had a whole body issue. #1 Get the flare down and #2 Eliminate any itch causers.

1. Bath. I soak my body in water and do some sort of oat bath like this http://www.amazon.com/Aveeno-Soothing-Treatment-Count-1-5oz/dp/B000UEAARO
   
   
2. Cream. I also find many creams tend to burn my skin when it's flared up, but I've stuck to this one for the one I use right out of the shower. So pat dry and lotion up with this http://www.amazon.com/Cetaphil-Moisturizing-Cream-Fragrance-Free/dp/B000052YMQ. If that doesn't work for you, try to find a lotion that works for you. Plain old nivea lotion also worked for me but it's a bit oily.
   
   
3. Steroid. If you okay with them, you should hit this hard with something for a week (2 x per day), then back off to once a day.
   
   
4. Sheets. Use clean sheets as much as possible. Even iron them with the steam on high (including pillow case). Use a smell free detergent if possible.
   
   
5. Keep you bed and floor area clean and vacuum. Dust mites could be an issue.
   
   
6. Chill out in bed a lot, relax, but on a good TV show. This will reduce stress.
   
   
7. Drink lots of water to stay hydrated
   
   
8. Take an allergy medicine to reduce itch
   
   Okay, that's all I can think of now.
   

I think Maltese might be a hypoallergenic breed actually, so that’s good! But yeah try different eating habits. I’m vegan now and my skin is pretty happy, in addition to not living with a cat or a dog these days. But dude, I totally get it. Sometimes it’s even hard to listen to other people’s advice, like do this, do that and you don’t see results. It’s maddening. But hang in there, something will change and you will see happy/healthy skin one day.
When my skin was really bad, like so bad I had to take 2 weeks off work b/c the pain and infections I had gotten as a result of my open skin , the only time I left okay, and comfortable was in an oatmeal bath. I would take one in the morning and one before bed. It was the only thing I looked forward too. I spent a lot of time in the tub and it seemed to offer some relief. I would also put a couple splashes of apple cider vinegar to help kill bacteria. Maybe give it a try? These are the ones I have used. Feel better💙

I have a similar problem and my husband has been very supportive. If he sees me scratching he will take my hands and hold them. He also draws oatmeals baths for me and sits with me while I soak.

I've used a lot of products over the years that did not help with my itching but I will recommend these two as excellent and worth a try:

Aveeno Bath Oatmeal

Goldbond Eczema Relief Lotion

The Goldbond is the best eczema lotion I have ever used and does not have steroid in it.

Make sure she sees a doctor as soon as she can to find out her triggers and eliminate them from her environment. Mine turned out to be animal dander, cleaning chemicals, and perfumes/fragrances in soaps. It required quite a lifestyle change but now I only have rate flare ups that I can usually nip in the bus by not scratching. Good luck.

I have been itching so much during the 3rd trimester! I scratched my legs hard enough that my thighs were bruising. They checked my liver and bile via blood work twice, and there were no issues. Definitely bring it up at your appointment but it also just happens! I also recommend warm oatmeal baths and Eucerin cream and constantly reminding yourself that it won’t last forever 😂

oatmeal baths are great for sensitive skin! I have eczema and have used these (alongside other things) since I was a little kid.

BUT, this is not the way I’d go about it. you can buy treatments with oatmeal that are meant to be used in the bath so you get the most out of it and minimise mess (Aveeno makes a really good one!!). straight oatmeal infusion is fine, but every dermatologist I’ve ever had has recommended sticking to real bath treatments.

I have found that doing a full body soak in Aveeno Soothing Bath Treatment has done wonders for my face.

About 8 bucks at Target, comes in a box, dissolve the packets in the bath and soak.

My doctor recommended it to me after 6+ months of using steroid creams. Wish I'd heard about it sooner, tbh.

As everyone else said - time for the doctor or nurse to take a look.

In the interim, Aveeno makes an oatmeal bath thing that's really good and safe for babies. And, California Baby has some good calendula lotion that is very soothing.

My daughter had eczema and also terrible reactions to mosquitos when she was little. We used both those items on a regular basis - I got them at Target.
