I am wondering what to use naturally for my sons eczema on his elbow?

My nine month old has a very rough/dry spot on his arm that has been diagnosed with eczema, I do not what the covential medicine, what is a safe alternative for a baby?

Lots of mositurizers (eucerin, aquaphor, petroleum jelly-they all work)!! Infants w/ eczema probably have food and other allergies. It is very time consuming-but if you keep a dairy of what he eats and the eczema symptoms, you may be able to figure out what makes the eczema flare.
If the dry patches donot respond to moisturizers, you will need to add a hdrocortisone or steroid cream.

Aveena oatmal products can be found in any wal-mart k-mart or other store in the health and beauty department
