have tried epaderm, had a reaction to it. same for e34, aquous, dermol500, all hydrocortisone creasm (use ointment instead), oilatum cream and bath additive, and a long list of others.

will have to check my list about EPO, not sure if we have tried it, but did try fish oils as was giiving thm to dd2 at the time, they worked well until she cottoned on what i was adding to her juice.

will look into it, and see if we have already tried it as well. its all logged somewhere all the treatments.

if the eczema on her face doesnt clear up soon will get another dermo appointment, as dont want it scarring.

hi misdee
ignore the time lol

Had forgotten about epo I tried it when mine was really bad and did get some relief and with dd1 when she was younger iirc you can get high doses in capsules on presciption.

Thankyou the grinning one is dd4 she is 2 on Friday ( I want to cry my baby not a baby any more )she is holding her hollow chocolate rabbit on easter sunday.)

Has anyone recomended suggested eucerin products?
It is the only shower/ bath product that does not bring me out and they do a urea rich face cream that is very good that I used until the doctor stopped giving me on prescription it is also only available from larger chemists or boots and costs about £9 if buying.
I hope your two little ones get better soon.

we tried eurercin and its sent her skin mad, she started to get scaly as her skin then 'grew' too quickly. she has atopic, sebhrroic and discoid eczema. she is a funny old thing.

she has gone on a school trip today, armed with piriton, aveeno and her pump. plus her bag.
