My dd is 5 months old and has mild-moderate eczema. Her skin is kept moist after having tried various creams, oils, emollients. I am now using hydromol and hydrocortisone and have just ordered Bria Balm after reading reviews on it. The main issue is that she does not sleep for more than
hour or two at night and then wakes thrashing in her sleep and trying to rub her head on anything/anyone if she is being held. This carries on for up to an hour at a time and at first I thought she may have some cranial discomfort but having had 4 sessions with a cranial osteopath this does not seem to be the cause of her discomfort.
I am certain it is her eczema that is causing her severe itching and irritation at night times. Her hands are kept mitted at night so she does not make her skin too saw, but she still attacks her face and head a lot and moves quite vigorously throughout the night. I have seen GP every other week and he does not seem to think it is anything serious and of course she is happy and contented everytime we visit with her eczema hardly visible. At last visit he prescribed some anti-histamine at night to relieve the itchiness but this made little difference.
Night times are awful and I am at my wits end as the lack of sleep combined with seeing her in discomfort is soul destroying. Please does anyone know of a good homeopathy person in Birmingham/West Mids area as this is now my next step to trying to get dd some relief. Apologies this post is longer than anticipated!
