Ds3 15 weeks has really severe cradle cap - not on his scalp but along his hair line and right down onto his face/cheeks. He also has eczema pretty much all over his body. My GP gave us a prescription for Doublebase, which we tried for about 4 days but it seemed to burn his skin - the scabby cradle cap didn't seem to come off, it just went soggy and the skin underneath went tight and red and very sore.
Different GP has today prescribed Epaderm, but I'm nervous of the same thing happening and it getting worse. He seemed dubious that the Doublebase could've made it worse.
Does anyone have any experience of the two compared? Any advice appreciated.
