My 8 month old son was just diagnosed with a second round of MRSA that has stemmed from his eczema on the back of his knees. I have always had him on organic foods only, I use all Green cleaning agents, and I only use organic creams, lotions, shampoos, etc. I don’t understand what is going on! His pediatrician has prescribed Bactrim for a week along with steroid creams. I am so hesitant about using these. Do you think these are a must? I have been giving him Culturelle probiotics for the past 2 months every day. Is there anything else I can be doing to relieve his eczema and prevent MRSA? Any advice you could offer me would be much appreciated!
Thank you so much!

[...] There are a number of other alternatives that I would personally consider but everyone should contact their doctor and feel comfortable with their choice for treatment. Personally, using probiotics and other natural alternatives and food changes to help “heal the gut” as well as avoiding all thing harsh on babies skin, using botanical solutions for pain relief and even seeking alternative medicine. I like how Dr. Amy Well’s explains eczema and that creams and medicine doesn’t get to the root of the problem. Dr. Amy Well’s offers some great suggestsions for helping naturally cure and deal with eczema. [...]

Oatmeal poultice works great for itch relief and is easy. Placing oatmeal in a cheese cloth, old nylon or the like. Boil in water for a few minutes, cool and place on the itchy area.
Poultices or compresses of chickweed, calendula, plantain and comfrey relieve itching and helps heal the skin.
You can make your own salve of 1 2/3 oz of coconut oil + 2/3 oz Almond oil + 1 oz Rose water + 10 drops each of chamomile and yarrow essential oil. Heat the oils together in a double boiler and separately warm the rose water. Add the warmed rose water to the melted oils drops at a time until combined. Cool and store in a jar.
Homeopathy works great for itchy eczema too. Commonly used remedies include Sulphur and Silica.

What about a topical cream to relieve the itching? I have heard that Shea Butter is great, is there anything else you would recommend Amy?

I have a lot of trouble with eczema and all 3 of my children have had bouts with it as well. One of the things I used that was such a savior when they were little was milk and oatmeal infused baths. Thankfully it always did the trick to soothe and stop the itching Great article.
