eczema woes
Gabe is just not getting better with the eczema. I give him a bath once a week now & that night was tonight - anyway the oilatum (fragrance free 1) seems to irritate his skin and he scratches even more (constantly scratches when undressed so has to have scratchmits even in the bath). The mitts dont help much tho as he just rubs like mad still. He goes mad in the bath as my fil held his hands to stop him scratching and I have never heard him scream so much while I quickly got him out the bath, put his cream on and dressed him. I just feel gutted cos he can't have naked time or a nice bath time which he used to love. We couldnt even take him swimming now. When will he get better? The emollient and steroid creams both really help but the skin is obviously so itchy x
