Skin Asthma treatment

[domestic diva]

^^pwede ang jergens ultra healing for a 6 week old baby, sis?

[leletmd]

^ Technically pwede since it is a fragrance free moisturizer made for sensitive skin, but personally, for babies less than 3 months of age, I'd rather recommend the made/tested for baby moisturizers/cleansers like cetaphil, physiogel, oilatum, aveeno, etc.

^thanks dra
It's nice to know that there is a cheaper alternative when baby gets older!

My 2 years old daughter has skin asthma too.. sabi ng pedia it will heal and come back.. cycle.. until ma-out grow habang lumalaki. We tried everything. Now were using lactacyd for toddlers & california baby calendula (cream and lotion). I even use it on her face. Kapag nasa bahay sya, she wears pajama even during day time para hindi nya nakakamot legs nya at hindi rin na eexpose lagi sa alikabok. Nag improve naman. Dapat lang talaga medyo alaga sa lotion at daily ang pagputol ng nails.

^I bought cetaphil cleanser to replace the lactacyd baby bath & then I applied aveeno baby lotion to seal in the moisture -- instant results!  Baby's skin is so soft!

My baby just had a skin asthma siguro because of the weather na rin.

In this cases, ang nagpapacalm lang talaga sa mga sugat niya at nakakapag patuyo are the following:

Oilatum for her soap
Skineal for the ointment bought in Chinese drugs

ang bilis talagang matuyo ng sugat.

Panganay ko rin merong skin asthma.  Scaly din ang skin nya, umabot na sa scalp, akala lang namin nung una cradle cap lang, pero lumala sya, as in buong ulo nya, ang panget nga tingnan dati kasi konti lang buhok nya. I can't remember what yung mga gamot na binigay ng pedia at nakailang try na rin kami ng derma, meron pa ngang mga gamot na binigay with steroids, pero I stopped it after ilang wks, takot ako sa mga side effects eh.

Pero tama ang sinabi ng pedia nya, skin asthma will get better as the child gets older. Now that she's 6 yrs old, no more topical meds, just use cotton in bed sheets, clothing, no fleece blankets, or if during winter, no wool touching the body coz it will make the skin very itchy. If your child sweats a lot, change clothes immediately and wipe it off, don't let it dry in the skin coz it will be very uncomfortable and itchy. 

Don't worry mga sisses, even though skin asthma will never go away, but you can control the outbreak.

when my younger brother was still a baby he had this. and soap niya is oilatum. pero as he gets older parang nawala na lang siya.

my son's pedia prescribe him to use hydrocortisone cream madaling gumaling pro after that meron nanaman. i think dahil sa weather usually meron during summertime. now, im using virgin oil nauubos n kc yn cream nya then pagdry na im putting aveeno eczema moisturizing cream now okay na ulet..

[jaiaquino]

ever since my baby and i shifted to using all natural stuff, we never had really bad breakouts. as much as possible kasi, i try not to use hydrocortisone or any other chemicals and it's been working for us so far. 

[BAISANAN]

may skin asthma din kiddo ko at ang lotion na gingamit ko sa kanila aveeno baby nirecommend ng pedia nya.

[yapeegurl]

kami din aveeno for about 1yr and 2months.. then we switched to burts bees.. so far so good..

[loveann]

my daughter also has skin asthma, her pedia recommended oilatum and cetaphil lotion for her skin, kapag my rushes sya we used lacticare.
i hope everything will be alright

[super bratinella]

My kids Oilatum soap is super effective talaga for Skin allergy and asthma.

[lysandra]

mga sis for me mas ok yung cetaphil cream than cetaphil moisturizing lotion...nag soft skin ng baby ko dun...

[BAISANAN]

its true na maganda talaga ang oilatum at cetaphil

[jaiaquino]

maganda pareho pero i think hiyangan pa din on what will work better for you. for my daughter, cetaphil worked so well that we couldn't use any other soaps/cleansers apart from by nature's soaps. for oilatum naman, nag-dry pa rin skin ng baby ko kaya di na namin tinuloy.

[dada08]

based on my own experience, i tried using different soaps (hypo allergenic/unscented) to treat my skin asthma...

kahit konting scent kasi nag ra-rashes skin ko. but when i tried using ivory (white packaging) nag okay na skin ko.

[domestic diva]

do you get different results on baby when you use cetaphil bar vs. cetaphil cleanser?  drying pa rin ba ang cetaphil bar?

[candyzire]

yan din problem ko sa baby ko...right now attacked na naman sya ng skin asthma nya.  sa legs kadalasan lumalabas sa kanya. cetephil yung maintaining  lotion ko. pag nag susugat na, pang dry na sugat gamit ko yung calmoseptine ointment para hindi nya makamot pag kumati. so far ok naman sa kanya calmoseptine nakabili ako ng isang tube 206mg nung nasa sydney ako. dito kasi sa mercury sachet lang meron sila.
