my 4 month old ds has got nasty eczema nearly all over his body...red patchy bits every were...
the two things that the gp has given 'diprobase cream' and 'oilatum body wash' none of them work n the gp said he cant give anything stronger cz of his age n skin colour... i understand the age reson but not the skin colour

does anyone know what else can be used for eczema that could be brougt of the counter?
plz reply before it gets worse..



If it is not helping you really need to go back to your GP. We can't really say to you this will work etc as we aren't doctors and can't see your LO.
I really wouldn't advise buying something over the counter as your LO is still so young, you are best seeing your GP
Something I picked up on the eco parenting forum is that oats put into a clean soak and put in with the bath water is supposed to be good for eczema skin. I use it when DS has dry skin. I was sceptical but it does soften his skin.
I hope you get something that works soon x
