hi there my boy used to get really awfull eczema too untill just a few months ago
we had no success with cortisone etc
in the end we found the hamiltons range of products (like QV but australian) great the bath oil and moistuiser every day

also wee took him to a naturopath who gave him:
blackmores celloids / crush one tablet in food twice daily
and blackmores PCMP / same as the other one crushed in food twice daily

this really helped T's skin just thought i would share
