anyone elses dc's excema flaring up at the moment?

[brimfull]

is there some pollen in the air at the moment?
Ds looks awful at the moment .

Yep my dd's back & face are very bad at the mo, don't know about the pollen connection though! How are you treating it?

me too ds looks quite sore today

Yes my dd's eczema is driving her made at night with the itching, but I think it's due to all the bugs she's recently had.

Same here, my d's hands are bad. In fact I have a flare up and I don't even have ezcema (tops of arms and trunk) Good think I'm single!

yep the last week not been good

Mine has been bad this week - wondered why! Didn't know it was linked to pollen?

yes my sons is bad at the mo and i have developed it since i was pregnant with dd and it's driving me mad just on one arm

i think it's the central heating

Thanks for all the replies.I'm just treating ds with epaderm and steroid cream on the bad bits,but I am interested to hear that others have noticed a change aswell.

Must be something in the air

Count us in! I suffer from year round hayfever and this has been the worst winter I have had in years Ds2 has had a nasty flare of eczema and is currently sporting 3 kinds of eczema, poor lad.

I think each change of season is a key time for flares, and although we haven't had a change of season in calendar terms, dd1's skin flared up just as the weather turned colder about a week ago and it stopped raining quite so much.

Who knows though, it is a bit of a mystery.

DS2's is usually well under control but it's been flaring up for several weeks now, which I am just about staying on top with hydrocortisone 1% ointment and Diprobase (rarely have to use hydrocortisone these days but using it every day just now.)

It's been a long time since he's had it on his face, but he's got patches round his mouth and chin and a patch on his chest.

no, my kids dont have it, but mine is awful but then am quite stressed at moment and thats always worst trigger for me.

yes ds's face looks typically atopic at the moment.

i didn't know there were different kind of eczema!!
