Hello all, i wondered if any of you had any advice or tips for dealing with very bad eczema in young babies.
My DD is 4 months old and has been suffering with this skin complaint for around 7 weeks. I have been constantly at the doctors trying to get it under control but nothing seems to be working.
We have tried..
Epiderm - made it worse
Hydrocortisone (on the bad bits) - no improvement
Diprobase - no improvement (although skin was less dry)
Then the doctor thought it was fungal so prescribed anti fungal stuff, which didnt work suprise surprise!
Just returned from the doc today who has re-confirmed it to be eczema and has prescribed Dermol and Fuciden H.
TBH im starting to think that this is never going to be sorted and its really starting to get me down.
Do you have any advice on what helps keep eczema under control? What worked for your LOs? When would you recommend seeing a specialist?
Any advice appreciated!
