My poor little one is covered from head to toe in eczema, we have tried cetaphil, sorbolene, QV bath stuff, cetaphil cream, oats and egocort cream all of which have made no difference at all. i am going to head up to the hospital tomorrow to see of I can get another steroid based ceam to try, what do you recommend. Do I need a referral to a paed dermatologist for allergy testing??

my dd2 has been hospitalized 4 times now for eczema it took what felt like forever to figure out what was making it flair so bad

if it is really bad i would be taking bub to emerg we do wet dressings from head to toe with dd as well as steriod creame and antibiotics when it gets infected (which is quite often)
we have had to change her to elecare formula and put her on a strict diet

i really recomend dermeeze and if it is quite bad talk to you dr about wet dressings they can show you how to do them

i hope your lil one is sorted soon
