Each cream I get prescribed for DD's eczema seems to make it worse not better (eg. Doublebase, Oilatum bath). I think she reacts to some of the ingredients but I'm not sure what. Has anyone else had this problem and did you find a magical cream which didn't have this effect? I realise it might depend on the baby but would like some suggestions nonetheless! Also I think she is reacting to either her clothes (cotton) or possibly the washing detergent I use, as she has no eczema at all on her bottom but has it everywhere her clothes touch her skin - again, can anyone recommend a very hypo-allergenic brand of washing detergent? I currently use Surecare non-bio. THANKS!
