Yes my dd's eczema is driving her made at night with the itching, but I think it's due to all the bugs she's recently had.

Count us in! I suffer from year round hayfever and this has been the worst winter I have had in years Ds2 has had a nasty flare of eczema and is currently sporting 3 kinds of eczema, poor lad.

I think each change of season is a key time for flares, and although we haven't had a change of season in calendar terms, dd1's skin flared up just as the weather turned colder about a week ago and it stopped raining quite so much.

Who knows though, it is a bit of a mystery.

DS2's is usually well under control but it's been flaring up for several weeks now, which I am just about staying on top with hydrocortisone 1% ointment and Diprobase (rarely have to use hydrocortisone these days but using it every day just now.)

It's been a long time since he's had it on his face, but he's got patches round his mouth and chin and a patch on his chest.
