anyone elses lo have bad eczema at the minute?

[ratbunny]

Cant work out what the trigger is this time. It has been good recently, then jabs about 6 weeks ago and it flared and didnt come down properly for about 4 weeks
Now it isnt too bad, but his legs are red, his wrists and behind his ears, round his mouth. And it doesnt respond well to hc, and he wants to scratch CONSTANTLY.
Its not food related as we did a dairy free diet for a week and gave him cheese yesterday and its no different (he used to be dairy allergic, but we are currently on a very slow dairy trial). And I;m already careful about his diet becasue of his food allergies.

Can hayfever manifest as eczema?
Any ideas?

yep, flare ups all round here too.

Eczma terrible here too, me and ds.

Eczema is related to dysfunctional immune system and so is in the auto immune system disease spectrum. Triggers can be internal? Have you tried (pure) Aloe Vera jelly

My 5yo DD is really bad with it at the moment yes

i think grass pollen is big culprit. Birch and Oak season past I think?

Mine's bad at the moment too - all over my hands

I guess i am stating the obvious when I point out that stress is also a trigger

also perfumed soaps are not good!
