Hi,

I have a 10mo, really bad eczema, we are currently on 2nd round of eumovate, several bad allergies. 1st dermatology appt tomorrow. Wondering if anyone has any advice for 1st appt? Ive currently got a photo album of pics of her bad skin and wrote down the history and allergies. I dont want to mess up this appt by missing something so if any advice would much appreciate.

Thank you,

Very exhausted mum battling this eczema/allergies for 6months now :-(

Take a pen to write down any information, like routines that they give you!
We were there and it made such a difference. My little boy is 7 now, still has eczema but it is mild now. Good luck

Yes, don't be afraid to take notes - I always found it hard to remember exactly what I'd been told by the time I got home.

DS had bad eczema until he was almost 2, to the point where they were running out of licensed treatment options - then it suddenly cleared up almost overnight. He is now 9 and still gets the odd patch from time to time (mostly associated with teeth coming through, as far as we can tell), but nothing nearly as bad as it was.
