I hope someone is able to offer some words or wisdom here as I'm quite worried about my little nephew
He is 9 months old and has been diagnosed with eczema. It's pretty severe (gp's words) at the moment.
His face is covered with infected eczema, he has been prescribed with Flucloxacillin to take 4x daily. It's made him projectile vomit. If dsil takes him back, is there another antibiotic that could be prescribed?
Dsil is using steroid cream and emollients as directed by the Gp and also an antibiotic cream. Is there any particular type of cream that may be better than aqueous cream?
None of us have any experience of eczema and the poor little mite is covered.
Piriton doesn't seem to be helping the itching either.
Would it be worth seeing a dermatologist privately? The Gp has referred but has said that there will be a long wait. If so, can anyone recommend a dermatologist in London - we are in Ealing.
Thanks for reading
