  1. Hi, gave advice a little while ago but since then have found out after pushing for an allergy test at the doc that my little one has many allergies since then I (as im breastfeeding still) gave up milk and eggs. Also on doc advice he has piriton before bed. I no longer have to use any creams at all. Hope this helps.
  2. My little one had the same we started with aveeno but his skin was so dry i couldn't put it on quick enough as his skin would just soak it up. Then went onto the hydromol would put it on every nappy change and every feed. I used thoes times as reminders just to get the stuff on as much as pos. We did ended up with proscribed steroids for his skin. Used them just as proscribed and worked a treat. I also got some little mitts from asda found that these were the best ones and didnt fall off at night. I also reduced the number of baths he had as this can dry put the skin to only when he really needed one and with a combo of all it has helped.
  3. my daughter and i both have eczema i was recommended to go on a talk by my health visitor i cant remember what its called but its run by the nhs so it was free and was only 2 days for a couple of hours each day and was so helpful its really worth trying to get the health visitor to find the course. we was told that the best thing for eczema is to in the bath use an oil and use cream as a soap substitute and creams during the day and an ointment before bed. once you have found a product that works for you like diprobase or Oilatum ect then stick with one brand and you will be able to get them in all forms like bath oil, cream, ointment and the doc will prescribe them. I feel that the use of steroids should only be used as a last resort because u have to be weaned off of them and the stronger they are the longer your on them for.

    hope it helps
