Any tips on what to use on her really dry skin?
Hi ladies
My LO is 5 months, and has developed a really dry patch beside her mouth on her chin, under her chin, and little dry spots on her neck.
I took her to the doc who said it was just dry skin and her skin irritated from her dribble, she dribbles and is quite a sicky baby.
She said to use E45, which I've been slapping on. It seems to have helped a tiny bit, bit it's still there, a week on.
I use Dream Cream from Lush for my dry skin and exema problems but this seemed to irritate her skin when I used it once.
Has anyone else used a cream which they would recommend to try?
Thanks ladies Xxx

I'd avoid anything with sodium laureth sulphate and sodium lauryl sulphate, because they are industrial cleaners. It's easier said than done though, because they are in most things. I'm not too sure about sodium trideceph sulphate, but I know people who just avoid all sulphates. Olive oil or rapeseed oil should be good, because they are natural and don't have perfumes, etc in them.
Hope this helps xx
I have three girls who all have seriously dry skin (two of the have eczema) and they all use Diprobase cream. It is on repeat prescription from the doc but i am sure you can get it from the chemist too if you discuss it with the pharmacist? (perhalps that's just in Scotland?)
It is an emolient cream and we use it many times throughout the day and it never causes irritation and definately helps although does not cure unfortunately.
Hope that helps

DS sometimes gets a bit of dry skin on his cheeks and after a few night of rubbing it vaseline in, it's all gone
DS also had an eye infection beginning of Jan and his eyes were watery and made the side of his eyes red raw....I used vaseline again and asked the doctor what would be best....she said that vaseline is one of the better ones as you don't want anything too strong near the eyes...
vaseline all the way for me !!!!!

I have used it on LO's face before & she was fine & the dryness soon cleared up...
