The "All Cotton" Rule For Eczema

[bodhi]

he everyone. i am trying to find some 100% cotton socks for my son aged 2 but have so far only found one place that sells them for £6 a pair! looking on amazon i can find loads of mens sized 100% cotton socks at around £6 for 5 pairs. please help! i never realized it would be such a challenge to find them without getting a second mortgage!!

ask your gp or practice nurse for some on prescription.

what is the name of 100% cotton socks on prescription?? I,ve never heard of them. We have to wear dermasilk sock liners under socks.

I will ring my practice nurse and ask her, I haven't needed to use them for few years. I'm on the isle of man maybe our perscription rules are different. I do know healthy house do a very good price for socks and gloves

Hi
I found 100% cotton socks from Marks & spencers but they were too thick and made my daughters skin worse.

With my daughter the 100% cotton clothing etc was making her too warm , We have manged to get a dermasilk suit from my GP which has really helped.
I know there also do socks, gloves etc

Hi
I am really excited to be sharing the news with you all that Marks and Spencer have a new school uniform out called skin kind. It is 100% cotton with quote "fabric that's as gentle enough for skin to breath, but combats the effect of irritation-causing bacteria. Plus our specially designed features such as super-soft trims, latex-free elastics, extra flat seams and no sharpe edged labels help keep them comfortable all day." It is recognised by the british skinfoundation. After 2 years of a very expensive battle to try getting clothes suitable for school M&S have the answer. They are offering 20% off and free delivery. I'll be placing my order later today.
Happy school shopping to all.
