Hi not sure if this is the rit place, but looking for others with experience of bad eczema. Ds1 (3.3) has had eczema since he was 8 weeks old, but has ale ays been treated ok at each fkare up with various creams.
Since April though, it's been permanently flaed up to greater and lesser degrees. We've been at the dermatologist twice a week to start with then once a week, and now once a month, and I feel as if we are no longer making any progress, and the dermatologist has just decided that there is not much more he can do (which there may not be, but I'm not quite ready to give up yet).
The main problem is really sleep. He is bandaged most days and every night, but still manages to rub any bit he can find through his bandages which means he can never go back to sleep by himself. He is pretty much permanently in our bed cause we can't leave him to cry or he gets his clothes off, and his bed isn't really big enough for an adult. I don't mind too much cause I think he genuinely needs help to sleep rather than playing us or anything, but if there was a way to help him learn to self settle again, it would be fantastic.
Any one with any tips?
