“I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence-Central for #AveenoEczemaTherapy. I received a sample to facilitate my review and a thank you item for participating.”
This past weekend we celebrated J’s 1st birthday. Ever since he was 3 months old, he has suffered from Eczema. The weird thing is, I started to suffer from it when J was born.
According to WebMD – Eczema symptoms include itchy, red, and dry skin caused by inflammation. It’s most commonly found in children, although adults can get it too. There are many things that can trigger Eczema including stress, heat, allergies, etc. If left untreated it can have negative effects on your health.
As you can see he gets spots on his face and arms. It has not been an issue the past few weeks. Aveeno has kept our skin moisturized and happy!
Symptoms of eczema in babies include skin that is:
- Dry
- Tender
- Red
- Scaly
- Cracked
- Thick or leathery
- Itchy
- Crusting or oozing
- Has circular patches of red areas or light areas
It is horrible to watch your baby suffer from Eczema. They want to itch the irritated areas, but then that can break the skin and cause them to bleed and be in even more pain.
One of the ways we help control eczema for myself and my son is with Aveeno Eczema Therapy products. It really helps us when we keep our skin moisturized and use products that contain oatmeal to help soothe the irritated areas. We have established a nice routine that includes bathing and moisturizing with Aveeno Products.
The AVEENO® Brand, known for harnessing the power of ACTIVE NATURALS® ingredients, presents the AVEENO® Eczema Therapy Collection. Developed with leading dermatologists and awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance for providing gentle, superior ingredients to soothe skin with eczema.

My middle child suffered from this as a baby, now he occasionally flares up. I have psoriasis, and have found Aveeno products helpful!
