Question 1

can adults use this also?

Accepted Answer

Adults can use this, but just FYI this is not the same as the “adult” Aquaphor Healing Ointment. There are a couple additional ingredients in this baby version to specifically help diaper rash.

Question 2

We love aquaphor for our baby but have never used the tub version, just the squeeze tubes. Do you dip your finger into this? Bacteria?

Accepted Answer

I don’t have this product, but I have a tub of Cera Ve. I buy a smaller container (like a tiny travel sized jar for cosmetics) and use a silicone applicator “brush” to put some in the tiny travel jar. I never stick my fingers in my bigger original jar. That way I’m only contaminating a little bit that I know will be used quickly. Or you can just use an applicator and wash it every time.

I plan to buy some aquaphor for my son who gets chapped cheeks and chin. I will plan on 
Using the little jars so they’re easier to travel with and keep us from contaminating the full jar.

Question 3

What is the difference between the normal advanced therapy version and the baby formula?

Accepted Answer

For years now I have noticed the only difference between the regular Aquaphor and the Baby Aquaphor is $1. The company is charging $1 for the name Baby to be on the label. Ingredients are exactly the same.

Question 4

I seem to get outbreaks of eczema on my legs and sometimes, my arms. Will this get rid of the ugly red spots?

Accepted Answer

Placing ice cubes (wrapped in a towel) on the affected area is one of the best and easiest ways to relieve eczema itching and burning sensation.Moreover, the water trickling from ice hydrates the skin. In case you do not have ice cubes, you may wrap a packet of frozen peas in a towel and use it as a cold compress.Application of extra-virgin coconut oil can prove highly beneficial in getting rid of eczema because it has natural moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties.In addition, it maintains the natural chemical balance of the skin and forms an antimicrobial barrier on skin. It is best to apply coconut oil after taking your bath or shower. Besides, you may apply a bandage dipped in warm coconut oil.Applying pure aloe vera gel, too, is useful in soothing and curing eczema rashes.When dealing with chronic eczema worsened with Staph infection, you can take a dilute bleach bath. For this, you need to add a quarter to half a cup of bleach in a tub filled with lukewarm water.You can use regular chlorine bleach for this purpose. Just soak in the solution for about 10 minutes, at most twice a week.If you are looking for a natural alternative, then take an oatmeal bath. You can create this bath either by using pure colloidal oatmeal or grinding rolled oats/quick oats in a coffee grinder.Just mix a cup of oatmeal in a tub filled with warm water (make sure you break the clumps at the bottom) and soak in this soothing bath for about 15-20 minutes. You can take this bath once or twice daily.Burdock root contains a several medicinal properties. Hence, it is considered good for healing a number of skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, carbuncles, ulcers, etc. You can drink burdock tea and apply a paste or salve prepared by grinding this herb.Steroid creams are useful for reducing itching and inflammation. Thus, you can put a thin layer of some corticosteroid cream or ointment on the affected area.To make this treatment more effective, apply an emollient on skin about 15 minutes before applying the steroid cream. Follow this remedy once or twice daily.Interestingly, topical chamomile creams also work as mild steroid creams. If nothing else works, your doctor may prescribe topical immunosuppressants or other medications.Phototherapy or ultraviolet light treatment is considered helpful in the treatment of eczema for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.It is usually performed at hospitals under the supervision of a dermatologist. This treatment is mostly undertaken when the condition becomes widespread and does not respond to any medications.
