I am just wondering if anyone else is having the same problems as me and my DS. For about 3 months now every so often the skin under his eyes gets really inflammed and then crusty and then heals over. Today its red and looks weepy!! I finally realised on Tuesday that its caused by his shampoo getting in his eyes, and only the slightest bit seems to cause a problem. This might sound a while for the penny to drop, but at about the same time he began with eczema and so we assumed it was something to do with that, we were back and forth to the docs to get the eczema under control and we never picked up on the hair washing and shampoo. We have been using a mild shampoo from boots suitable for eczema skin, and i use only the minimal amount. I can deal with this and make sure we are more careful at bath times etc, and really keep the hair washing to the bare minimum (when there is bean juice and yoghurt in it!) I just wonder if anyone else experiences this and are there any better shampoos to recommend???
