My DS (just turned 2) has recently developed eczema. Any tips gratefully received. He has a tiny bit on the inside of one ankle (not going to worry about that), a rather sore patch on his groin that just catches on his nappy, and some cradle cap. I have some steroid cream that I've been using for the last 4 days but not really working. I've been putting on both patches twice a day and covering the groin area in Sudacrem the rest of the time. It's starting to look a little less red. He also has cradle cap - and I am finally doing something about this (it comes and goes of its own accord). My DS has red hair and very fair skin so no real surprise that something like this should happen. Was just wondering what else I can do to make his life easier - especially about the patch on his groin. Any tips very gratefully received! Many thanks.
