I totally understand where you are coming from, my DD had exzcema from 4 weeks onwards (my DH had dermatitis as a child and it was quite severe). DD used to scratch herself until it bled. I finally went to our GP and he prescribed steriod cream and i only had to use it for a week and it was gone!! I still have it on hand as if she gets a flare up i just put it on the infected area and it settles it. We also bathed and moisturised her with Alpha Kerri products they worked well for us too. Hope it gets better for you.
