Hi stillhoping,

Sorry to hear your little bub has eczema, its awful isn't it. My 2nd and 3rd boys both have it, probably not severe cases but DS2 constantly has it all over his torso.

This is what has helped me to keep his under control. I would bath him using QV bath oil, and would was him with QV wash. And then everynight I would lay him on the towel and rub a product called Dermeze all over him. This is basically a clear paraffin (sp) type lotion, it is greasy, hence the towel. It did help keep him moisurised though.

A girlfriends little boy has just strted breaking out and she has found the Dermaveen range has helped him.

As Curly said unfortunately it can be all trial and error.

I would be interested to hear on any good washing powders as I also think this is one of the major causes, and I also can't use enviro ones.

Good luck and I hope you manage to get it under control.
