Thanks Fletch,
I think it is a possiblity that it could be eczema. But I think eczema is also tied up with allergies also? It does seem to be worse since the cold weather has set in, and you are right it wasnt half as bad during the summer Months.
I did notice this morning, that after he had his weet bix, he had a wheezing noise to his breathing. So it may even be that? I should get to the bottom of it one day!!
Thanks again, for your help
