Our 5 week old son has developed what has been called baby eczema. His entire face is red, swollen and scabby, his ears are even worse, continually wet with a pus like discharge that scabs up when dry. It started out as pimples but these have now merged to become a very painful looking rash. We live in The Netherlands where health care professionals are less than trust worthy and we have been told to rub peanut oil on his skin and scrape off the scabs thereafter. It looks so terrible and we are very worried about it. Does anyone have any experience with this? All words of wisdom are welcome as we are quite stressed about it.
