I recently took my son for food allergy tests, turns out he has a huge intolerance to dairy, especially goats milk which we had been giving him as we were told its better for eczema sufferers. He also has intolerance to wheat, oats, rice, grapes, oranges, and yeast, so we are two weeks into a new di...

After five months of constant sleepless nights we have found a pajamas that has really helped, so just thought I'd mention it here in case anyone is going through the same. They contain something called Silver Soothe, which helps calm any itch, and are made with organic cotton, they also have the ha...

Just read online yesterday that there might be a link between eczema and Crohns Disease, I am just wondering if anyone here knows anything about this, or if anyone suffers from both. My son has terrible eczema and there is Crohns disease in his dad's family, as nothing we do seems to relieve him we ...

My son who is two and a half has bad eczema on his arms, legs and face, and with the warm weather at the moment these are all on show. But I find that when we go out I get horribl...

My son is nearly two and a half and his itching gets so much worse at night, I find the only things that give him relief are a cool bath with some bicarbonate of soda (about two teaspoons) or seaweed powder, in it. It really cools the skin and reduces the itch, unfortunately it doesn't seem to last ...

Thanks for your replies everyone, we've been doing it for a week or so now with mixed results. The first few nights my son was kept very cool and slept very comfortably, however the last few nights the wraps seem to be drying out very quickly and he wakes in the middle of the night scratching franti...

I have a two year old with very bad eczema all over, especially over his face and torso. Getting so frustrated with doctors who just keep giving me stronger steroid creams which work when i use them but when i give him a break from them his skin comes back just as bad. Instead I have been taking a d...
