Hi,

I am new to this forum and also new to this skin condition called eczema. My baby has somehow inherited her dad’s skin condition and had eczema since she was 3 months old. She is now 7 months old. We’ve been to A&E twice because of it and I’ve used about 8 or 9 types of creams and ointments and constant steroids but nothing seems to help. Any tips or advices I can use? Thanks!

My toddler of 2 years has had eczema for a year. It feels like an ongoing cycle. It itches her, cracks then peels off and nothing seems to work. Any advice please?

@Courtney_J my cousins son has has terrible eczema since birth, he's now 7 and its reasonably under control.

My cousin had tried all sorts with him but found the best creme was quite a cheap and available one called Palmers cocoa butter formula. I've seen it in boots etc before.

Might be worth a try. Must be hard with kids as its difficult to reason with them I imagine.
