After posting my first message yesterday, and being given a really good website to follow it up with. I was just wondering if anyone has ever had any self eperience with any type of childhood eczema, and might have any good advice that i could look into to try and help my sons condition until he goes to see a consultant????
Thanks to everyone who has given me advice so far <IMG SRC="redface.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">) <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

It was really painful but I think what my mom did that made it better was make me take a bath with oatmeal in it? Sorry, it was a long time ago so I can't be sure. I'll ask her when I talk to her next.
The other thing that I got was cortisone cream from my doctor which helped a little bit. Unfortunately you can't use it regularly because it makes your skin thinner.
Other than that I can't give you any advice except that I grew out of it, hopefully your son will as well. It's a shame that he's so young.
Good Luck.
It's worth checking out though.
