Ethan was born in the winter – and shortly after he was born he was showing the effects of the cold, dry, Minnesota weather on his legs. I was always worried about the bumps, thinking that he had a rash. The doctors continued to say that it was Eczema – and gave us a few tips on helping to keep it under control. 
Fortunately it seemed to get better when the weather was warmer. But now that it’s winter again – It’s back.
I’ve been trying a few different lotions on him – but ultimately it was the petroleum jelly type that seemed to do the most justice.
We recently tried the Aquaphor ointment and although it is quite thick and almost greasy feeling when you put it on (due to the main ingredient being petroleum jelly) – I can already tell a major difference in the softness of his legs after only about a week of use.
Ethan doesn’t seem to mind it going on – and although I haven’t ever noticed him scratching at his leg – his dry skin could be bothersome, so I’m hoping that this helps him.
Aquaphor also makes some other great items that help yourself or your babies in this dry, winter weather!

My grandson’s skin gets so dry and flakey during the winter season. We constantly have to keep lotion on him. I hope this product works well on his sensitive skin!
My daughter also has eczema but hers acts up the most during the summer due to seasonal allergies. We have used this product once or twice but have noticed that you need to be careful not to get it on clothes.
In the winter my hands get incredibly dry and crack and bleed sometimes. It’s terrible. I have to moisturize a lot.
I get awful open sore spots on my hands because it gets so dry. This is my son’s first winter and he has “winter” eczema along with some chicken-skin like rash. I have to use special lotions on him.
My youngest has eczema and we battle dry skin patches and bumps everyday. I use a variety of lotions and potions including Aquaphor on him daily. It also doesn’t help that we live in the desert, so the air is dry all year long.
Thanks for the chance!
Always so dry.
My hands tend to get dry and cracked from the dry winter air, combined with doing housework. My children have more problems with their faces, their cheeks get dry, chapped and red.
My youngest son has eczema, and the doctor prescribed steroid cream. Tried that for awhile, didn’t really care for it. We used eucerin, cetaphil, and finally auqaphor. Auqaphor seemed to work the best on his rashy bumps and itchy skin. I started using it on myself, as well. During the winter my skin dries so badly that the skin on my hands will crack. Auqaphor works well without making my skin sting.
