Just thought I'd post some information that some of you may find useful. My four month old had eczema on both cheeks which was becoming very angry and inflamed. I tried all the usual moisturisers and even a mild steroid, none of which helped much. I recently effectively treated myself for perioral dermatitis (a horrible hormonal rash around the mouth) using apple cider vinegar, applied topically twice a day. The good news is that it seems it also works for eczema although it needs to be diluted for babies and young children. I've been mixing a capful into my baby's bath and have seen dramatic improvements already. The brand I use is Aspall's Organic Cyder Vinegar (available from all supermarkets for around £1.50). It has many health benefits and lots of people drink it for a variety of ailments. I swear this stuff is brilliant and apparently it even makes you lose weight (I've yet to try this as I'm breastfeeding). Bring on the vinegar!!!
