treatment of childrens eczema

I respect homeopathy and have confidence on it.From net I got your's information and want to get advice regarding my baby's treatment.My son ,now 1 year has been suffering itchy skin erruptions(allopath doctors say atopic eczema) just sfter 3 days of birth;at first small pimple like erruptions on face ,hands ,belly,legs,heads,ears-then size increased,inflammed,pus formed(whitish),bleeding and scale appeared(blackish).I have used homeopathic medicine from local doctors ,but it increases and then heals and again repeats.Now his head, face and legs and ear are affected.On the back side of head under the skin small medium hard muscle/tumer are noticed recently.The child is jolly in mode,usually diarrhea with greenish waste,indigestion to rice intake.At birth his both legs(lower parts) were bent which were being treated by arthopadic doctors with plasters and shoes and now o.k. But still the child is weak to walk and stand on his feet,although it appears that he is normal now.Please suggest his homeo treatment.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please write more about your child as an individual. I understand the eczema. Please write with spaces so it is easier to read. Thanks.

Blessings, Sabra

Hey Shlaskar, how are you doing?

Prevention is the mainstay of treatment for atopic dermatitis. If secondary infection is present, initiate antibiotic therapy along with measures to control inflammation.

No cure exists, but exacerbations can be minimized with proper skin care. Take short baths or showers in lukewarm water and limit the use of soap on axilla, groin, and feet. Bath on alternate days during the winter. Liberal use of a good skin moisturizer cannot be overemphasized, especially in winter and immediately after bathing or swimming. Minimize contact with cosmetics, deodorants, detergents, solvents, or other known triggers.

Treat acute attacks with a low-to-moderate potency topical corticosteroid. Generic over-the-counter hydrocortisone (1%) often is sufficient. Hydrocortisone 2.5% is available by prescription. There are adverse effects of topical steroids (eg, atrophy, hypopigmentation, striae, telangiectasia, thinning of the skin). Medium-to-high potency topical steroids should not be used on the face or neck area because of these potential adverse effects.

Best wishes,
