If your toddler has eczema, you've probably tried several different types of topical ointments and lotions to moisturize the skin and ease some of the discomfort. However, those products may not be working sufficiently. If your little one's skin is irritated and uncomfortable due to the eczema patches on the skin, you may be interested in finding treatment options that are more effective at soothing the irritation while moisturizing the skin to prevent excessive dryness. There are certain products that are known for helping those who suffer with eczema get the relief they want and need.
Add Oatmeal to the Bath
When bathing your toddler, consider setting up an oatmeal bath. Different brands sell packets of oatmeal products to use specifically in the bathtub. There are even oatmeal bath bombs available. If you'd prefer to do it yourself because you already have some plain oats at home, simply pour a cup of oats into your blender and then make sure to blend well until the oats turn into a powder consistency. You may then pour the oats in the warm water while your child is soaking in the tub. The benefits of oatmeal baths for people with eczema are tremendous. Oatmeal is known for its ability to relieve feelings of itchiness and irritation while keeping the skin hydrated.
Start Using an External Probiotic Spray
Probiotics are naturally good for the body, but most people consume them by eating probiotic yogurt or taking supplements. While it's good to encourage your child to eat probiotic yogurt to reap the benefits associated with it, there is now another way for you to treat your child's eczema with an external probiotic product. Consider applying a probiotic spray to your child's body after the oatmeal bath.
The spray is organic and doesn't contain any harsh chemicals or ingredients that tend to cause irritation to those with sensitive skin, especially those with eczema. A small amount of the product goes a long way and it might not take long for you to see results on your little one after using an external probiotic as directed each day.
As a parent, you may naturally be upset that your child is dealing with eczema because it's often itchy and irritating, causing a lot of discomfort your little one. If none of the products you've tried so far have worked, consider doing an oatmeal bath at least three times a week for your child. Aside from the oatmeal bath, try using an external probiotic spray on your child's body. The spray soaks into the skin, adds extra moisture, and reduces inflammation while helping with the healing process.
