Has anyone tried this, and, if so, what were the effects?
DD1 has had very bad eczema for about a year now (from 2nd birthday onwards). We were wet wrapping for the whole of last summer, which helped, and are currently using steroid cream on the bad patches, plus diprobase and doublebase creams everywhere.
However, after a few months of near perfect skin, she's suddenly developing it again on her face (for the first time), neck and hands (but nowhere else). Someone has suggested we add salt to her bath. I seem to recall that people with eczema are often helped by visiting the Dead Sea, so could this be a good idea?
