My five year old son has itchy skin. It is worst after his bath. He is allergic to Eucerin. I tried that once and it gave him a terrible rash. Dove does not help, we used that for several months with no improvent. Any suggestions would be appreciated on lotions, or soaps that could help. He does have eczema, but can not use the Elidel that he used to use because of a reaction with another medication that he is on.
I am allergic to Ivory so I can not try that with him as he still needs a little help. Also tried the Triamcinolone Acetonide cream and that also interferes with a medication that he is on for other reasons.
5 y.o son itchy skin mostly after bath?
You can try the Aveeno oatmeal body wash. Thats what my husband uses because he also has eczema.
Reply:personally do not use elidel because lymphoma is a side effect- i try to stress that because i lost a sister to lymphoma sept 11, 2005..... have you tried palmers cocoa butter lotion?? i also have eczema and i know how painful it is... that seems to work for me... as far as cleanser- have you tried cedayphil lotion?? you can use it in water or not.... it is fragrance free and has gentle moisturizers.......
Reply:i've had eczema since i was born and my skin still itches after i leave a bath.make sure whatever moisturizer your using has no colouring or perfumes in it. One thing my mum used to do(and i still do)is you could try putting some porridge oats into a bit of materiel(like a sock or a cloth)tie it at one end and soak him in the bath with that in it,it was always a brilliant way to help with my itchy skin. Having the bath too hot can also really aggravate sensitive skin. The cream i use and have been for ages is called Astral, however,a really good cream for after the bath is called Diprobase.If you mix that with some oil from vitamin C tablets it work a dream.
But believe me, don't use any creams containing perfumes or colouring, they will irritate his skin a lot more.Eczma, i have learned over the years, responds more to natural things, i only use steroid creams if desperate(ask your doctor about these
Reply:my daughter had really bad eczema and Johnsons soothing naturals lotion and body wash really helped her. Also another good lotion is Cetaphil which also has a body wash.
Reply:I would try just washing him with water for a while. The only thing soap really does is basically make water wetter..longer technical explanation to that but thats what it does. It breaks the surface tension of the water molecules to make it wetter..
use a clean cloth and no soap and see if the condition gets better.
You may also want to go to a health food/supply store and buy some type of natural organic soap. It is the chemicals in the soap that he is reacting to.
Some places are carrying more organic items now too if you do not have a health food store near you. GNC may aso carry something.
Reply:Stop giving him baths--switch to showers so he's not sitting in water and isn't sitting in soap. Water actually dries out skin (weird, I know) and many kids are sensitive to soap. My nephew loves the Aveeno lotions, we also use Vaseline on him when it's bad. He uses a regular bar of soap--the Johnson and Johnson no slip kind, Huggies baby shampoo, and his showers last two minutes or less. It's the only way we could keep his skin from getting itchy and we lotion him up before putting his clothes on. He also has eczema.
Reply:you could try more sensitive products for his skin; but if his skin is so irritated, i think that you must go to doctor and see what's the problem

Is it true that itchy skin is a symptom of kidney problems?
This is a general itchiness all over but no rash, spots or bites. I've heard that liver problems can cause an itchy skin, but kidneys too?
Is it true that itchy skin is a symptom of kidney problems?
They can, but you would have other symptoms and be rather ill.
Chances are you have an allergy to something.
The body getting too hot can also give these symptoms.
Keep checking for a rash or bites, sometimes they don't come up straight away.
If you are very concerned please visit your doctor
Reply:No...itchy skin has to do with the histamine in your body and your kidneys don't have anything to do with histamine.
Reply:not heard of that before but I know when i was young i had itchy skin quite alot and my nan used to give me Milk of Magnesia, which helped....at that time my nan told me that my blood was hot......not sure if thats true or not....will have to look into it :)
ooo just googled it...have a look at this website for more details
Reply:i think its liver problems that make you itch.My mum had jaundice and the itching drove her mad.
Reply:Yeh i get itchy skin aswell.. i dont mean to be outright but i get itchy on my chest and sometimes on my legs just after i have had sex... p***** me of sometimes and when i itch i go red... :S
Reply:Hi
YES - I had a kidney transplant a few years ago and when my kidneys failed - I had itchy skin - it was due to the excessive UREA in my system - If you are worried about kidney problems - don't listen to rumours - go see a doc and have an IP profile done on your blood.
Itchy skin could be anything - find out for sure what the problem is and then you are in a position to dealt with it on the basis of fact.
take care
Reply:hi,yes i have heard this as well it can be a symptom of kidney infection,but there are other symptoms as well.itchy skin can be from allergies and other things as well,check it out with your doc if you are worried.good luck.
Reply:Yes, My father needs a liver transplant and he itches like crazy. His doctor said its a symptom from his liver failing.

What can I do to relieve itchy skin due to drying?
I live in Northern British Columbia. The fall weather is lingering but the air is drying out steadily. The skin on my upper back and shoulders and back of my scalp is becoming itchy. We also have relatively hard water. I believe the salts in the water are being absorbed by my skin more with the drying atmospheric air, causing a bit of an alkali reaction. Whatever solution exists to this problem would probably have to neutralize this alkali bloom on the skin.
What can I do to relieve itchy skin due to drying?
if it's really bad, maybe you need to see a dermatologist. if you want to try at-home remedies first, then i would suggest buying either an in-shower conditioner for your skin (i think dove makes one, they work just like a hair conditioner). it's also important not to dry off right away, your skin needs moisture, so walk around and air dry, don't strip the water off with a towel. when you're mostly dry, moisturize with a lotion for dry skin, i suggest vaseline intense moisture lotion.
Reply:mousturize them with lotion or oil.
Reply:moisturize. lotion. etc
Reply:hydracordisone cream with 2%.....works like a gem...any drug store has it
Reply:use a emolient cream like keri lotion. it is a bit greasy at first but it will definitely help...
make sure you wear cotton against your skin, and dry off well after your shower. You might try a emolient soap like oilated aveeno, it will not dry out your skin.....
If you have a bathtub, once a week, fill the tub, put in some oil, ( baby or sofsyn) and soak for 15 min. pat your skin dry and apply your lotion....
you should be appling lotion on your body everyday after your showers....
Reply:Vaseline Intensive Rescue lotion for dry skin is just fabulous, amazing and I would know, I am in Kuwait at the moment!
Reply:put some baby oil in your bath water and when you get out put some moisturizing lotion on yourself...for your scalp you can give yourself a hot oil treatment and use a good condition...u can also get a good leave in conditioner for your hair that you just spray on and don't have to wash out...hope this helps!!!
Reply:Increase the humidity in the room you are living in... that will help.
Reply:just apply lotions (choose the one for very dry skin ) as often as you can...you can avoid this because this is climate you have in your country but at least it will ease the itchyness and lessen dryness.

My skin gets so dry too---I itch on my legs, arms, back...the skin around my nails crack, they are quite painful.
Drink enough water and have a humidifier on.
I use Udderly Smooth cream. Lists only 4 things in its ingredients. Doesn't feel greasy.
Reply:Try a lotion/cream that has silicone in it. Also, maybe put a humidifier in your home, to add moisture to your surroundings. Also, are you drinking 8 - 8 oz. glasses of water per day? That should help. Take care.

Help me with my itchy skin please!?
Anyone have any good over the counter Products that relive itchy skin?
Going Crazy scratching all the time, mostly at night if anyone can relate. . .

I have to concur with hydrocortisone 1%. If this doesn't cure it then you need to see a doctor.
Reply:Gold Bond Medicated Lotion
Reply:Gold Bond Lotion. It's in a WHITE bottle, it's pricey, but it's fantastic...
Reply:cortaid intensive therapy anti-itch lotion
Reply:I can totally relate. There are no lotions that really work at all. I did however find relief with daily allergy treatment. I use Alavert. It's the same as Claritin.
Reply:You need Camomile Lotion, or something based on it.
Reply:Cortizone
Reply:Aveeno, itch relief
Reply:You should use Jergen's moisturising skin lotion. It makes the skin more smooth and calms irritation of the itch. After a while, the itch naturally goes away.
Reply:You can use calamine lotion it doesn't smell very good but it works.
Reply:Check out Aveeno; I think they have an oatmeal based product for either bathing or actual body wash, it's an old remedy for poison ivy and chicken pox.
Reply:itchy between the legs? I got something for you :))
Reply:Lots of people have sensitive, dry and itchy skin. Try taking an outmeal bath, or a bath with about 2-3 cups of apple cider vinegar in the wather, this will help restore the pH of your skin also make sure any lotions that you use don't have alcohol, fragrance or anything else that may be irritating your skin. I like olive oil as a moistureizer personally, it's all natural! Good luck
Reply:Get it checked out by a doctor. If its excema or dermititis then aqueous cream is great and try some antihistemine before bed as this can reduce the itching when you get warm in bed (my son has this). If its Psorisis then aqueaous cream again and use the sunbed - this will help clear up the patches of dried skin.
Reply:if it is due to try skin, you should try Curel extra moisturizing. It it the one with red on the bottle. It is great for try skin.
Reply:you've probably got scabies....itchy around feet hands, legs and stomach, particularly marked at night. You should get the cream for free at an STD clinic. Dont be embarrassed..its very common and you can get it from just holding hands with someone
Reply:It Could The Soap You Use. Laundry Soap. Thats What Your Iching. Do You Have Any Animals?
Reply:Try Lanacane Medicated Body Powder most chemists sell it. It`s 100% talc free and soothes itchy skin.Its recommended by dr`s to absorb wetness and provide a cushion of protection against further irritation.
