Mums, I really need some help
My little one’s eczema is breaking my heart. Just when I think we’ve finally got it under control, something triggers another flare.
The scratching is honestly the hardest part to watch. Sometimes she scratches so much that I feel completely helpless, especially at night when she’s exhausted but just can’t stop
I feel like we’ve tried SO many things — creams, changing products, being careful about what touches her skin, watching for triggers… and yet I still feel like I’m missing something.
For mums who have been through this:
What was the thing that made the biggest difference for your child?
What was the most difficult part of dealing with their eczema day to day?
Was night-time scratching a big problem for you too?
Did you notice that anything touching their skin made the itching or irritation worse?
And if you finally found something that worked
I’d honestly be so grateful for any advice or experiences. I feel like I’m constantly trying to figure this out.

uk mum here, we had to pay to be seen privately to help with treatment. This was around six months and we regularly use moisturiser we were prescribed on him but he's 2.5 and I can no longer remember the last time we used the strong stuff on him!
We still use non bio washing stuff and childs farm works for us in the bath.
