Excema. I'm not alone am I?

I know I'm not and I know my son isn't the only but it sure can feel like it sometimes. I know no one in real life with excema like his. Mine was never as bad.

I have one friend who knows it all and is so supportive, but I still feel alone some nights. I want to take it away, but I can't. I want to hug him but it hurts him if I do.

Can anyone relate?

Hey I actually do use der mil in the shower, it doesn't work as a cream just a shower gel (go figure)

Yes I've tried many a natural product thinking its natural surely it can't make it worse and bang - doctors here we come. it really is insane

Does anyone here go to the allergy show? I have gone every year since having my child. It's worth it if u can get to one.

We are a family of eczema sufferers. It's been awful at times as the GPs wouldn't refer us initially. Each of my children suffer differently with it.

Things that have worked for one, some or all the kids either on their own or a combination with one of the other things are:

Scratchsleeves or Scratchsleeeve PJs for the older kids

Robertsons Skin Repair Ointment (have to order it from Australia)

I have just started to use moo goo on dd1. Really seems to be helping. Her eczema is quite mild though.
I've only started using it on my psoriasis and again seems to be making a difference.

This moo goo seems to be popular, where sore everyone buy it from? Are there any shops that stock it?

In going to give all those links a click thank you so much - and sorry u are all going through it
