Have you tried Aloe Vera cream to treat eczema on your child at all? If so, did it work???

I used pure aloe gel years ago but put it onto raw eczema - big mistake! It felt like someone had put burning oil on me.

Now thought, I occasionally use it on my skin without eczema and it's nice and cool and calming. Perhaps try it on a tiny bit of your ds first and see.

Also, if he reacts to the cream, if there other ingredients, you won't know if it's those he's reacting to or the aloe so maybe pure gel would be better.
