Another question! Caleb has had a bit of eczema round his mouth for about a month. He had a cold and smeared snot all over his face (nice ) and inflamed his face - now we have hydrocortizone cream but have to stop using it tomorrow but it's not cleared up. Any hints or tips of good things to try - I don't like using steroids!

George also gets the odd patch of dry cracked skin on his face - not sure if its eczema though. I use aquaeous cream on his cheeks now and it clears up in no time x

We found Aveeno Cream and Bath Oil pretty good for keeping eczema under control, it was recommended by a mum whose daughter had DS (but get it on prescription as isn't very cheap!) Aqueous Cream is good too.

Hiya, I suffer from Eczema occasionally and I use Oilatum cream and in the bath, you can get special one for kids too. Might be worth a try. Lu x
