At my wits end! LO is 7 months, eczema flared just before 4 mo. EBF, now weaning. Some improvement stopping cows milk and soya but still intermittently insanely itchy and I'm not sure why. Been to the GPs lots - upped to eumovate, then betnovate. He's fab after 2 days betnovate, I do a few more days then wean to eumovate and the eczema is back within 48hrs so he's back to betnovate. Its now been about a month of betnovate. Epaderm for emollient about 4/day, left to soak in before steroid and only bathed when a bit whiffy.
Last GP I saw was referring us to paed dermatology nurse but still waiting...And no belief in an allergy testing -just keep hearing its unreliable in babies. Really hoping someone else has cracked it.
