    Do you know much about his eczema triggers? As often it can be diet related - my son flares up if he eats grapes, blueberries etc (fruits that are high in salicylates)

    In terms of clothing - I guess the best thing to do is get organic cotton/bamboo/hemp fabrics (organic meaning no chemicals were used in growth or production of the fibres).

    I have had success with Medihoney eczema cream too. Hope this helps a bit.

    Oh also if you make a big effort to reduce/eliminate chemicals in your home it will go a long way to helping.

    I only use Ecostore products (for washing clothes/nappies/dishes/soap/shampoo) and my boy hasn't had a flare up since then, his skin is too sensitive for any normal soaps, detergents etc.

    DO you mean in the way of outfits or fabric. 100% cotton is best but Im not sure on clothing specifically
