DD is allergic or sensitive to several things and i'm trying to treat her eczema and dry skin but have been pretty unsuccessful so far. it's mild eczema so it's not causing her too much irritation but she is very dry all over her body.
we have tried countless ointments, emollients and creams but the either seem to make it worse or don't make any difference whatsoever! she is sensitive to parrafin and possibly anything that contains alcohol. she has a 1% hydrocortisone cream but i don't really like using it, even though it really does help, albeit temporarily.
i have tried veg oil after baths as she seems to be sensitive to anything chemically but it doesn't really help much. tried an organic shea butter and chamomile balm but that had little effect also.
does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? i'm a bit stuck for ideas now! thanks folks :)
