My DD is currently having an excema flare up. She has occasionally had a bit of dry skin and a bit in her elbow creases and her skin has felt dry, but never had it this badly before.
I have been using diprobase, zero base and Zeroderm to moisturise and a bit of hydrocortisone cream on the worst bits. She washes using Aveeno shower oil. I have these creams in cos I got excema when pregnant and now keep on top of it with Aveeno wash and diprobase. My DD also had bad nappy rash which lasted into childhood so she washes with the Aveeno anyway.
However she is now itchy all over with pinprick rashes, and the scaly red patch on her arm is spreading into the little red spots further down her arm.
I'm taking her to chemist later to see what they recommend. And will make a doc appt, just don't think it counts as an emergency so won't get one today.
It's just really odd that she has flared up now, I had bought some comfort pure fabric c which I have used before no problem, but seems more perfumed now, so have washed her stuff through with surcare liquid and fabric c. But other than that nothing is different, so unsure why she has suddenly got all itchy. Have started to give her Piriton as well as she is uncomfortable. Anyone got any similar experience of a late age outbreak, and have you ever worked out what brought it on?
Thanks
