I would apply the Hypo Allergenic Face and body balm which can be applied without stinging to any area of her body including the genitals. The secret of success is to apply it frequently to maintain a slight shine showing the balm is producing a protective layer. Apply very liberally in the groin area as nappies etc will tend to remove it faster in this area.

If using cortisone, do not suddenly stop it. Apply it as you are doing under the Balm for 1 week then the following week have the amount you are using of the cortisone then on the 3rd week stop the cortisone. This prevents what I call "Cortisone withdrawal Flare-up" where a skin problem that is under control suddenly flares up badly within 2-3 days of ceasing the cortisone.

The other things to do are dress her lightly in cotton as over heating in "bunny suits" can aggravate eczema and use a good bath oil in the bath ,any good brand such as OV, Dermaveen, Hamilton's bath oils are all fine.

Our Hypo Allergenic Face and body balm is non-toxic so should she scratch the skin then suck her fingers no harm can possibly be caused. Hope this Helps,

Introducing David's Hypoallergenic Face and Body Balm

We formulated the lavender -free balm (removed the lavender oil) for infants, babys and children with hypersensitivities. The hypoallergenic balm should work precisely the same as our Lavender Balm product, although, of course, it does not come with the lovely smell and color of the Lavender oil.

The hypo allergenic product without lavender oil conforms to the guidelines of Sue Dengate ( see; http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/) who is prominent in helping children with food additive sensitivities. These children also tend to have eczema and so the Hypoallergenic product without lavender was born after requests from a number of customers. Directions for use are exactly the same as for David's Soothing Lavender Face & Body Balm.
