I've lurked on MN but never posted before. I have a DC who had mild eczema at about a year old. However, it spread all over her body and face and we have tried everything to get it under control. Also has very bad cradle cap. We have seen a dermatologist and although their initial advice was great and the condition was controlled as soon as we tapered off steroids (as advised) it is starting to come back. No allergies.
We're at our wits end with the sleepless nights and the relentless scratching. It's miserable and I hate seeing my DC suffering.
We tried homeopathy (I know but we are desperate ) on someone's advice but I actually think it's made it worse! I just don't know what to do now. Currently using cetraben and happy with this as it really does keep skin moisturised and no reactions. We tried aveeno but it had no effect.
Has anyone tried Chinese medicine? Particularly interested in Charles Buck as he has been recommended to me by an acupunturist. Failing that throw all your magic cures at me and I will try anything!
