I have just read slowlearners comments and must say I could have written them myself - my seven month old daughter has had eczema from being a few weeks old and every single cream/ointment we have tried seems to irritate her skin rather than soothe it. One of the first we tried, E45 cream, made her look as though she had burns all over her poor little body. We have now been referred to a dermatologist who felt that her skin and scalp may be infected so has prescribed Fucidin H antibiotic cream to use for one week only. This has cleared almost all of her eczema but I am certain that as soon as we stop using it, the redness, dryness and intense itchiness will return. I have ordered Dermasalve over the internet to give that a try as soon as we stop using the Fucidin H so I would be interested to hear from slowlearner how she got on/is getting on with it. Thanks
