My 4 yr old has had MC for about a year and I am so fed up of it. We have tried some homeopathic cream but she also has eczema and the cream (and tea tree or any other strong cream) causes her eczema to flare up which causes more itching and I am sure more spreading of the MC. I know it is not serious in the grand scheme of things but I am really self conscious of it for her (though she isn't herself yet). Does anyone have any suggestions for hastening up the antibody reaction in a child with eczema? She also won't let me get near them so I don't fancy my chances with the toothpick regime! Also, any advice on what to say to other parents - we are due to go on holiday with other families soon and all the kids will be in the pool together.
