I'm new to mumsnet
DS1 has had eczema since 5mths now 18mths. On/off manageable to terrible. We have seen a homoeopath before with some success but changed to another one after it got worse again. awaiting results but has flared up VERY badly now on face, neck, wrists, legs, ankles and torso. Wanted to avoid steroid and believe in as natural as possible but the bleeding and seeing DS1 so miserable is getting us down. PLEASE ADVISE!!!

my ds1 recently had eczema after getting molluscum. we used weleda calendular baby oil and homeopathic remedies sulphur and pustilla, sk cream and after reading another thread on this put lots of unrefined sea salt with porridge oats (drained in a sock) once a week in the bath. one of them or the combination worked! the thread that i can't find also had lots of mumsnetters saying after their ds/dd were swimming in the sea during the holidays - the eczema disappeared.

took about 8 - 10 weeks though.
