my son has had mild eczema down both of the inside of his arms for the past 6 months which was getting worse, having read about 'sk cream' i tried it as a last ditch attempt before the steriod cream the doctor wanted me to use. IT WORKED, after 1 week it's completely gone so i thought i would post this for anyone interested. its an organic chemical free cream, i ordered the lanolin free version, costs £9.95 mail order 01526 832491. - i got the information from susan clark's book 'what really works for kids' .

Sounds interesting - is there any age limit on use. ds 11 weeks old has developed some eczema on chest arms and legs. Is it in a catalogue at all or just mail order?

JOSHJUNIOR yes it can be used on babies, i think the lanolin free version is recommended. i have found the name and address if your interested. the lady is called margaret evans and her address is 'chamomile house', horseshoe close, ruskington, linconshire ng34 9db, also website:www.healingproduct.co.uk. i hope this is ok to put on mumsnet? i don't want to be thought of as peddling their wares! i just thought seeing as it did really clear my ds1's eczema i should pass info. on. also to give reassurance the author susan clark is the 'alternative health correspondent' for sunday times.
best of luck

I got some of this for me a while ago, on same recommendation. It was really good for the dry skin but didn't get rid of the actual infection, so after a week or so I got the little spots coming up that start it off. However, haven't tried lanolin free but don't know if this is likely to make a difference.
