My son is 2 and has had eczema since he was born. He can go to bed looking fine and then when he gets up in the morning he will be broken out on his legs and arms.
He has a cieling fan on and a fan pointing at his bed to help keep him cool. What else can I do?

I have suffered for 55years. Cool or tepid bathes where he is emmersed for at least 30 minutes, bed and pillows covered in hypoallergic covers, have him tested for the triggers and then try and keep him away from them, an antihistamine for children before bedtime, oatmeal soap, lotion while his body is moist, a clean brush to scratch with (because scrating is inevitable), short nails, keep the room cool, get some help from an allergist who can prescribe medication.

Have you tried a sugar scrub?
Mix 1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sugar
open 3 vitiman E capsels and put the liquid into the oil and sugar. Mix it up good and scrub him with it. I leave it on for a few minutes then shower. My skin feels so much better after I do it. It scrubs the dead skin off so the rest of the skin can breath.

Sugar also prevents infection. I put it on all of my wounds with a bandage and within a day or so depending on the severity, it is healed.
This is not homeopathy, as some would call it. But it is a home remedy that really works.

try to use cotton sheets and wash them regularly in a non-alergenic detergent. The gathering of dust on the sheets when rubbed against the skin will cause more irritation. try to ensure that he mainly has contact only with the clean sheets and not the blankets as the blankets will probably have heaps of dust on them and this causes more irritation - hope this helps... I still have issues with skin irritations and I an adult!

Hi. I am sorry that your son has to suffer from eczema. However, don't worry. I understand how your son feels. I am now using Cetirizine 10 mg to help control the itch at night. It is really a help, it can reduce the itch and most probably he will not feel itchy at all and can have a quality sleep. You can buy it from the pharmacies almost anywhere. Here I keep it one pack always with me (with ten tablets in it). Eat it each night before going to sleep and you will notice your son will have a more quality sleep and less suffering. Maybe you can try it. But please make sure to eat just one tablet per day. Never exceed the amount.
