My year old son has eczema and scratches all night long. Even when there is no rash and his skin looks good, he keeps on scratching, especially ankle against ankle. When left alone in his cot he cries till he is sick. I relent and bring him into our bed where he keeps us all awake with his scratching - but at least he is not crying. Last night I got to sleep at 5.30 a.m. and the pattern has been similar for several weeks now. I use steroids, dairy free, cotton only etc etc to control the eczema but it doesnt stop him wanting to scratch. Any suggestions on how to ease his discomfort?
