Hi all. My son, since birth it seems, had had eczema and we've tried a number of ointments over the years with various success. It seems to get worst in at certain time periods than subside for a bit. I wanted to know if him scratching can be something else aside from eczema.
The reason I ask is because he scratches quite a lot during sleep time. I've washed and changed sheets thinking it could be bed bugs or something but no change. The main weird thing is he stops scratching when I rest my hand on his side. He'll stop scratching his arms, legs etc. If my hands are simply placed on his side. I'm therfore thinking of there's a possibility this could be psychological? He's 3 years old.
