Hi, my 4-month old ds has woken up screaming because the excema on his neck/chest area has suddenly flared up and he has scratched it to shreds.
I had already put hydrocotisone on before he went to bed, and have gen used hydrcortisone / cetraben all over his body.
Question is - what can I do with the area that is bleeding? I have just put scratch mitts on his hands so he shouldn't do any more damage, but can I put anything on the bleeding area to ease the pain/itching? Obvouslt don't want to irritate it further.
(am picking up presciption for various other creams etc. from dr. tomorrow)
Thanks!
