    Just wanted to give you some I really feel for you and your dd's. I have psoriasis on my elbows and scalp, not fun at all

    You poor thing!

    I second the humidifier, we have one for ds and it works a treat. We also found that warmth and heat caused it to flare up so try and keep him as cool as possible and have a little fan in his room at night too. We have also tried a myriad of creams, the one thing that works for him is a dermeeze moisturiser that is clear and sticky like an ointment and seems to plump up his poor skin.

    I hope you find something soon that helps and gives you both some relief.

    My sister had severe eczema as a teenager on her back, lower stomach and groin.
    Light treatments were the only thing that cleared it up for her.
    My DH has chronic psoriasis, light treatments worked for him also.
    My other sister has an undiagnosed skin condition that nothing works for...... She has seen a skin specialist, and still no answers.

    It's horrible not being able to find anything that works
    My sister eventually grew out of her eczema in her mid-20's.
    I hope you can find something that works for DD.
    My DH hated wearing shorts and even stopped playing football as a teenager, because people would stare at him he was a leper.
