Emerson's Eczema Combo

I have struggled with 2 kids having eczema.  Both internally, by changing diet, which did help for Easton and externally, through dermatological treatment, which has helped Emerson.

With Emerson being just breastfed and having fruits and veggies, I started watching what I ate.  I thought I had linked her eczema to gluten, then to peanuts and peanut products and even to strawberries.  I'm still not convinced that her eczema isn't linked to those things, as I now eat all of them in moderation.

However, what I was doing was not working.  I'd eliminate things then see improvement, add them back in and no change.  Then all of a sudden it would come back again.  It was so mean and angry looking.  Red dry patches all over her little body.  Her trunk, the inside of her right arm and the inside of the right leg and the back of her neck.  You could tell she was uncomfortable.  She'd claw at her skin all the time.

I finally decided to take her to the dermatologist.  He gave us a very generic combination of things to do for her, that is his 'go-to' for sensitive skin.  I talked with him about it being a food allergy and he said that food allergies typically show up in the folds of the eye lids.  Her face was totally clear.

He instructed us to bathe her in Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser and to NOT dry her off.  On her wet skin, apply baby oil all over.  After the baby oil, on her wet oily skin, apply the rx ointment to the eczema spots.  Once the eczema was gone, he said to eliminate the rx ointment and on her oily wet skin, apply the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream.  Within 2 days, her eczema was gone.  I kid you not.

This little patch has just returned on her leg, so we've started the prescripton again.  It'll be gone in a day or so I'm certain.  And just like Eastons, where the eczema was, it's now white fresh skin.  His skin doesn't tan in those spots but I was told that the skin pigmentation would return eventually.  His was bad in the bends of 

I did purchase Melrose Oil from Young Living and I plan on treating any flare ups with that first.  We also have Rose Ointment and the combo of the Coconut Oil, Melrose and Rose Ointment are very helpful with eczema.
