Deodorant for 11 year old boy with eczema

7 replies

Dontlickthetrolley · 10/04/2022 09:11

Hello all, was wondering if anyone could assist. My son has had eczema from the age of 6 months, it's confined mostly to hands and back of heels , but we have daily cetirizine, elocon and can only wash in dermol 500 to keep it under control. If this routine isn't kept to his hands split and bleed within 2 days (not at my house, but that's a different post!)

We haven't been under dermatology for a while now and was told we were doing a good job and hopefully he would grow out of it, still waiting! But now we are getting to the point of needing deodorant and am worried about how his skin may react due to how quickly it can split when not following the routine.

So, any recommendations that people can suggest? I don't want to keep just buying stuff in the hope, so looking for tried and tested recommendations. Roll on or stick please.
Thanks

Your poor boy; those hands look sore. One of mine had excema as a baby/toddler. Largely grown out of now but I was worried about deodorants. We bought a couple of natural type ones. They are in his room and he is asleep but I'll look tomorrow and post the names. (It may still not be that useful as my son's skin is so much better now but it might give you a starting point.)

I use Moogoo roll on as I've had irradiated skin. It may not be up to boys' sweat though! However it was formulated in Australia so maybe! You can get 15% off your first order.

It's this one. The website which came up when I searched also had one without a fragrance which might be gentler, but this one is not overpowering at all.

Sorry I can't find the other one in his room! I think it might have been this one - certainly pale blue cardboard packaging exactly like this...

Thank you so much for checking, looks like a trip to Holland and Barrett may be needed!!

Thank you, I'm loving the name Moo Goo! Might give them a quick call to see if they have any samples!!
