My Ds only has Eczema in nappy area, back and front (worse at back)

We've been away just ova a week where he has been in disposables but since back and in reusables its flared up loads.

Do you think this is co-incidence or something ive done/not done??

Could be the washing powder?

The only time my little boy has eczema on his bottom is when they've been washed in detergents that were a No-no! Surcare was OK for a while but ever since I went over to a mix of my own with soap flakes, even Surcare brings him out with patches of eczema on his bottom!

Have you tried the Weleda calendula nappy cream?

I used disposables, but my cousin got me onto it, and she's had 3 children and used reusables and hasn't had any problems with rash/eczema at all (she suffers herself so thought her children might too). I too suffer from eczema and neither of my children have had any problems at all with this cream. Might be worth a try?
