I saw this on TV today and it's meant to work wonders! and the bonus is, they source all their ingredients from aussie primary producers :)
and I've heard raw honey is fantastic for healing as well...

It's awesome! My partner uses it as he gets this itch on his arms that docs can't explain. It works wonders. Just make sure once you use it you dry the soap or put it on a wire caddy as it's soooo soft and if it stays wet it disintegrates really quickly (sorry for bad spelling lol)

This billy soap sounds pretty good...I may have to invest in some.
Can you get it from a supermarket or health food shop kinda place?

I saw some at Myer today but it was $12 for a cake of soap in a fancy box with a Billy goat stamp. Is it cheaper elsewhere? I've tried m. honey and other creams but DS2's skin is still bad. Even the prescription cream hasn't healed it properly (but it was worse).

I use the honey on my skin (bad acne scars) it's really good, and butts bees stuff I loooove it! i get dermatitis n this works wonders.
I'm smart because I have a smart phone :D
They make a bath wash aswell, we use that in DS's bath, it works really well.

I get mine from a vitamin/health food shop on swanston st, near the cnr of lonsdale. It's $17 for a packet of 3.

That's a shame it didn't work :( tried changing shampoo & conditioners? No bubble baths? Glad moogoo is working :)

Yeah, I guess different things agree with different skin types hey! :)
We have seen incredible improvements in her face (almost clear now!!!!)
And her arms and legs are now smoother. Torso is still red and blotchy. She is def still itchy and still has eczema but I believe it's improving day by day.
Anyone used the moisturizer?

My DP is using moogoo,and the shampoo/cond... he says his head isnt itchy anymore (dandruff) nothing like eczema etc..
He also has chemical burns (and now really bad skin reactions from that!!!!!) from his old work and it kind of looks like psoriasis or SEVERE eczema IMO so we have him on moogoo for that! I will be trying billy goat soap or the moogoo one. I make him wear cotton gloves to bed which he hates:laughing: his hands were sooo much better when he went to bali a week ago, i think the chlorine effects the skin:no: so we are going to get a wwater softner to our system:yes:

Chlorine aerates the skin, or so I was told. I noticed it was helping with DS2's eczema after swimming lessons and did some inquiries. Apparently a swim or two a week is good but you need to be careful to rinse well straight after.

Try pinetarsol. you can get it from the chemist.
The stuff stinks but is really really good for itchy skin conditions like psoriasis and eczma. It even comes in bath oils so you can soak your body in it.
I used to have psoriasis over much of my body and the stuff was a god send.
11days later and zero eczema after using Billy goat soap!!!!
This is the same bub who used to itch and scratch so badly she would draw blood and who would be red and blotchy 24/7. Her skin is now smooth and flawless and best of all she is no longer suffering any discomfort from eczema.
Impressed to say the least ...it was our savior!!!

I tried it for the first time today. DS1 complained that he couldn't get as big a bubbles from it but otherwise all good. I'll hold off judgement for a while yet.
I'm glad you have had such a brilliant result with it. Clearly I'm hoping for the same thing.
I'm hoping for you as well.
Give it time and keep me posted :)
I might buy some for DH's skin. He's had this rash on his wrist for weeks and it's itchy. Good to read positive stories about it.
