Default Eczema Help

On top of the bronchialitis, I've also just noticed that he seems to have some eczema, which I can't believe I didn't see before Louis didn't have much of a problem with it, just a few spots, and I used a special cream for that, but Marcus has it all over his back, front and arms (it's not especially bad looking, just seems to be mild but it's everywhere) so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a "natural" product that might help?

He's got really dry skin, which I try to combat with sorbolene, but this doesn't seem to be working, so if there is a product out there that might help both of these problems I'd be interested.

Thanks!

What worked for Abbey was Calendula cream, we used the Jurlique brand as we had a small sample tube which cleared it up, so we stuck with that but there are other brands of calendula cream available.
Thankfully Claire hasn't shown any signs of having excema.

Kim, Becky has ezcema as well. Last summer was horrible, she had it all over her body and it looked very dried and red.

I find sorbolean works ok but not as good as the Moogoo products. They reopen their store this friday so keep an eye on it. www.moogoo.com.au

I was told to try a tablespoon of honey in the bath, I haven't done it yet but a friend swears by it.

nope, definitely eczema. Doc had a look last night while we were there as that's when I first really noticed it and TBH I started freaking out a little bit thinking he had some kind of disease!

i'll give the moogoo a try thanks everyone!

We use the calendula ointment from www.eczemasite.com (spelling?). It's calendulis plus or something like that. It's always been great for me and DH's mild eczema.

Rethink what washing powder/liquid you are using, I changed once and Mia flared up within days. She had it all over her tummy .

Have you thought about wether or not he might have a senstitivity to milk or other.
