Leo is 12 months old (today actually) and frequently suffers outbreaks of eczema which become infected and he ends up with steroid cream to clear it up. I have a suspicion that when he drinks more water his eczema seems to improve. Is there any real link between the amount of water he drinks and his eczema or am I deluding myself?
