My son has a bit of eczema mostly behind his knees and generally quite sensitive dry skin. This came on when he was a few weeks old and exclusively breastfed. It only got pretty bad (flare up over chest and back) once when I stopped applying cream on him mistaking the eczema for an infection. That's when I the GP diagnosed it.


The doctor gave us Oilatum for the bath and Oilatum Jr or Diprobase cream. They seem to work and the only area that is visibly affected is behind the knees. It can get quite red and is a bit itchy I think.


The night nanny who came a couple of weeks ago to help with sleep training sugested I use Salcura products. I had never hear of them - anyone use them and are they worth trying?


I started weaning at 5 months (he is 6 in two days) but noticed no major change to the eczema. He is now having mostly formula, solids and breastfeeding at 7pm. Perhaps I should have waited with the weaning but he was so enthusiastic about food and not visibly affected that I gave him a range of fruit and veg. Will be starting on protein soon (and keeping an eye for any changes).


He has had no dairy products yet (but formula contains cow's milk) gluten or eggs. Most eczema websites seem to link it to dairy and wheat. Any advice? Are there foods he should be having more of? Any to avoid completely?

Hello Supergolden88,


I work at Salcura and have just come across your post. I realise it was nearly a year ago and I really hope your son is doing well and that his eczema has all cleared up.


Did you try any of our products and did they work for him?


If he does still suffer from eczema or similar skin problems, I would like to recommend Salcura Dermaspray Gentle.

This product has a proven track record and is one of our most effective and practical solution for eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and other related skin conditions. It is suitable for children children under 12 months old (or adults with very sensitive skin). As with all our products it is suitable for use during pregnancy and breast-feeding as they contain no nasties.


You can order a FREE Salcura Problem Skin Sample Pack at http://www.salcuraskincare.com/sample/

** Please note that the Dermaspray Intensive (included in the sample) is only suitable for 12+ months


If there is anything else I can help with, please feel free to get in touch :)

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
