ECZEMA on face
in Baby
Please help my DS (5months) is suffering really badly with eczema on his face and head and i can't stop him scratching it in the night time... i spend most of my day at his side trying to occupy him so he doesn't do it all day
i've tried most things aqueous cream, oilatum sunflower oil olive oil but nothing seems to work it so bad that he is now in bed with my husband and me so that we can both keep him from rubbing - this isn't helping our relationship i can't remember the last time we had a cuddle without fear of DS waking up.
Is there anything that any of you have tried and been successful and i'm at my wits end and jelous of other babies perfect skin
Thanks
Kellie

He's never been out of the scratch mitts i take them off and as soon as he gets tired he scratches so they go back on again and the babygrows for his size no longer come with fold over mitts (at least mothercare and Gap don't).
Thanks again

They prescribed a cream called Fucibet, and I had to wash his face with salt water 4 times a day then put the cream on! Also given medicine to stop him scratching in his sleep and put long socks over his hands.
Try to keep his nails short, too so he doesn't do too much damage!
I agree with everyone above - double base ROCKS!!!

What helped a bunch was using neosporin on my LO's scratches and then using a Zipadee-Zip which is a swaddle suit from Sleeping Baby. The Zippy encloses my LO's hands and feet so he can't scratch himself.
