A safe eczema shampoo for babies

Dr. Eddie Valenzuela, a board-certified pediatrician in Houston, recognized the need for a safe eczema shampoo and body wash for babies and children of all ages. He created two revolutionary products: a medicated shampoo for seborrheic dermatitis and a gentle daily shampoo and body wash to relieve eczema symptoms in children of all ages.

Happy Cappy Daily Shampoo and Body Wash is an eczema shampoo and body wash that meets pediatric dermatologist recommendations for eczema, as it is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, soap-free, and has a low pH. Happy Cappy also contains no odor-masking ingredients.

Most regular soaps are drying and harsh, with a pH between 9 and 10. Normal skin pH is between 4 and 5. This difference in acidity can aggravate eczema symptoms. Happy Cappy has a low pH to help preserve antimicrobial activity and the skin’s barrier function, and is made without harsh surfactants that can disrupt skin’s natural hydration. Happy Cappy is paraben-free and made with ingredients like licorice root extract, oat extract, and aloe vera to soothe redness, and provitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid to hydrate hair and skin.

Symptoms of eczema in children

Symptoms of eczema in babies under 2 years of age include:

  • Rashes on the scalp and cheeks, and on the outside of the elbows and knees.
  • Eruptions with blisters that sometimes ooze fluid
  • Extreme itching that interferes with sleep.
  • Skin infections that can occur when scratching.

Symptoms of eczema in children over 2 years of age include:

  • Rashes on the inside of the knees, elbow creases, neck, wrists, buttocks, and legs.
  • Bumpy rashes.
  • Thick, nodular rashes with intense itching.
  • Discolored skin.

How to treat eczema in babies?

Although there is no permanent cure for eczema, there are several methods to relieve flare-ups and prevent irritation in children, such as:

  • Warm baths.
  • Soft clothing made of cotton or other non-irritating fabrics.
  • Frequent hydration.
  • Air dry or gently pat your skin with a towel after bathing instead of rubbing it.
  • Use a humidifier in cold or dry environments.
  • Trim your nails to avoid unnecessary scratching or injuring your skin.

Eczema reduces the skin’s ability to protect itself from the environment, meaning any harsh or irritating products can dry out and inflame the skin.

One of the most important treatments for eczema in children of all ages is to use a gentle, soap-free eczema shampoo and body wash that cleanses the skin without irritating it. Buy Dr. Eddie’s Happy Cappy Daily Shampoo and Body Wash on Amazon, Walmart.com, or Walgreens.com.
