My son is 5 has bad skin on his back.

Have tried daily baths and cream afterwards but no avail.

Tried oats in the bath. Currently use child's farm.

Husband is looking at goats milk body wash. Anyone have any other ideas?

GP may suggest oilatum bath oil to try first. My DS had a great GP who gave him steroid cream when he had flare ups.

I had it as a child and have a relative who had an awful time with it all over. I would say Oilatum oil for the bath followed by either the Oilatum emollient or Aquaeous (sp?) cream.

I wouldn't put anything else in the bath though.
