All 4 members of my household have recently developed excema and/or rashes.
Dd's is the worst with a prickly heat type rash up both arms and legs as well as patches of excema. She had bad skin anyway but the recent heat has aggravated it and she spends all her time scratching. Putting suncream on for a trip to the beach resulted in her in hysterics and a very angry looking rash. I had to put her in the bath to wash it all off.
My problem is patches of excema which I have never had before. It's extremely itchy. DH and ds both have the rash.
I have booked myself and her in to see the GP, but would like to see if a change in the detergent makes any difference. I find it strange that we are all suffering at the same time and wonder if it is something I'm doing like the laundry.
Please could you recommend a good detergent that will get the kids very dirty clothes clean without aggravating our skin. We are currently using Arial non bio and a fairy sensitive softener.
Thank you
