Hiya, my 8mo has suddenly developed dry skin in patches on his back & tummy. It doesn't look like exema to me but is a little redder than the rest of his skin.

I'm not that concerned at the min to take him to the docs & wanted to try creams 1st...

Can anyone reccomend a good moisturiser and or bath oil??

Thanks

Aveeno bath oil is very good. My son has mild eczema and it helps. Plus a paraffin based cream after the bath (cetraben). It sounds like it could be mild ezcema so if it persists worth taking him to see GP who can prescribe bath oil and cream. Have you changed washing powder recently? Could also be due to the cold weather and increased use of central heating - my son's skin has flared up a little in the last few days because of this.
I just discovered a fantastic solution for scaley flakey adult skin - homemade scrub using extra virgin olive oil and soft brown sugar - just mix together scrub over skin and rinse off - hey presto super soft skin! My hands are feeling very happy right now, and I'm about to go and try it on my unfit to show to the world knees...

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
