HELP! ECZEMA RASH ON MY CHEEK (IMAGE INCLUDED), has anyone tried using California Baby’s product with success?

Depressed Soul asked:


Ok, this is a bit long but it will only takes about 5 minutes of your time, I really need help on this problem, thank you! :(

I recently have this eczema pimple lookalike, pinkish-red kind of itchy rash on my right cheek :(

I really don’t want to use back hydrocortisone or any other steroid creams anymore, because all these prescription creams has worsen the condition, causing my face sensitive to the sun as well. It’s like, when I stop using it, the problem comes back again 3 weeks later, and the problem comes back even greater. I’ve been prescribed non-steroid cream as well, Elidel and Protopic. Protopic burned my skin, and Elidel gave me cough (it’s proven it gives internal side effect).

I’ve had bad experience with moisturizer cream that contains Petroleum, Mineral Oil, and Paraffin because all these ingredients actually form an oily film that sits on top of the skin, preventing moisture from evaporating. It has a drying effect, it actually suck out the moisture of your lips/skin, which is why you have to constantly reapplying it.

I’ve just change my cleanser from “Cetaphil Gentle cleanser” to “California Baby Shampoo & Bodywash, Super Sensitive (can be used on face)”. Because RECENTLY I did a research about this harmful chemical ingredient called Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), it’s actually cheap detergent that people used in car washes, as garage floor cleaners, and engine degreasers etc. After the research I looked at the back of the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser and DANG, it has SLS and another harmful ingredient called “Propylene Glycol”. For Christ sake I’ve been using it for 4 years. :(

So now I’m looking for an alternative way to deal with this problem because I really don’t want to use back the stupid steroid cream or those moisturizer that comes with crappy ingredients.

Also, I was reading this California Baby Calendula Cream review over this site,

http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=54802&catid=26109&crpg=5&tab=1#1

The product was rated 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 44 users. 90% of them commented that the cream cleared off rash problems like cradle crap, eczema rash on face etc. Even some adults commented that they have facial eczema rash, perioral dermatitis, dry skin etc used this product and has worked wonders in healing their skin.

So today I just started using the California Baby Super Sensitive wash for my face, and have applied the the California Baby Calendula Cream on my face. It somehow stop the itch a bit, but I am wondering how long it will take to clear off the rash.

So has anyone of you tried using California Baby Calendua cream with success?

Also, can moisturizing alone clear off the eczema facial rash? Or am I doomed to use steroid?

Omg :(

    This is really something you should speak to your doctor or a dermatologist about.

    I had a large eczema rash that was on my cheek but was given Xenozone hydrocortisone cream, within 3 weeks it was gone and it hasn’t returned.

    Moisturising daily is vital, try and avoid soap or detergents that may irritate the skin. I hate to tell you this but eczema is something that stays with the sufferer so it’s likely it will return BUT there are now creams and washes that can keep it away for weeks and you find yourself hardly having to use it.

    If you are getting reactions to creams then this is why you should take this up with your doctor, gp or dermatologist. They will help find the right treatment for you.
