DD (4.5) has mild excema and we currently use Balneum (soya oil) originally prescribed by the doctor. Getting to the doctors is a bit of a pita as they have moved the surgery to the other side of the city, so I am buying Balneum from the pharmacy at a cost of £12+ a bottle. The bottle doesn't last very long at all so it is cost9ing me a small fortune.
I have heard people mentioning a bag of oats (is that right?) in the water, or chamomile (can I just use camomile tea bags ?!). What do I need to do and where do I buy the stuff from, the supermarket ?
TIA
