Now that the weather is nice and sunny I have been taking my 3 month old outside. I put a little SPF 50 Waterbabies on her cheeks, arms, and legs and noticed that within 15 minutes her dermatitis was cleared up! Her skin felt so smooth again, like when she was born! Has anyone else had this kind of success with suncreen? What would be making it clear up? Does it act as a good moisturizer?
Anyone use baby sunscreen on infant dermatitis/eczema as a moisturizer?
Most sunscreen has zinc oxide in it, the same ingredient as diaper rash cream. You should ask her Dr. about this, I was told by my Dr. not to use sunscreen on a baby until they are 6 months old, due to the high amounts of zinc.
Reply:I have used sunscreen as a lotion before, and I have used hair conditioner on my eczema when I was younger...bur now I am kinda allergic to that conditioner...but I would use it till it doesn't work anymore.
Reply:It may be the sun thats clearing it up. Or somethign in the house that shes reacting to causing the eczema.
