My son has aquired quite bad exzema over the last few months I have been to the GP umpteen times about it and have been told he is just going to be one of those children with very sensitive skin.
I have tried E45 in the bath, aqueous cream, hydrocortisone, unguetuem cream and aveeno. The hydrocortisone works but then when we stop applying it the exzema is back within 12hours.
His diet is unchanged and I have switched to non bio washing liquids.
So have done all the obvious.
We went shopping a couple of weeks ago (Bluewater) and poppped into the chinese accupunctue herbal place they said they could make up something for his bath £35 for 2wks treatment and it would clear up. I am a little scepitcal and was hoping someone may have tried this with success before I go shell out the money for the stuff.
Or if anyone has any other miracle cures.
