I like Charlie's Soap because it doesn't contain any brighteners or perfume. I tried the Ecos laundry soap and the fragrance in it and maybe the optical brighteners triggered my sensitivity.

I've seen the products to remove chlorine in bath water and have been curious if this would make a real difference and is worth the expense.... Have you tried dechlorinating the bath water?

As i was growing up, my eczema got worse. I hated it, it was on my arms, all over my neck, under my eyes and i felt very unconfortable. I got allergy tests done, blood tests. I went through alot. Ieven cut out my diet so i had no dairy, wheat, gluten, seafood. I starved so much because my parents didn't know what to really feed me. My mom and i would always be at the Loblaws Natural section finding food that i could eat. As i got into high school, i noticed that my eczema got REALLY bad. It was all over my face which became red and blotchy. I felt embarrassed by this. But my eczema got worse when it was cold and the season changed to winter. I tried so many creams but none of them work. Especially the cortisone cream was deadly to my skin. Now i'm trying the Execalm cream and the spectro eczema cream. I'm crossing my fingers hope that my eczema will flare down especially on my face. It gets really red and i hate how people stare at me all the time. It kinda makes my self- confidence go down. Once i finish hight school and university,i hope to find a cure for eczema because i've been through alot and i don't want kids growing up dealing with this problem. hi, since i was a baby i had eczema and til this day i still have it and i’m 16 years old.

I'm not a Dr. but I can share what products I've seen in action vs. eczema in children. Try the Spectro cream...it is an intensive hydrate for the skin. You can still feel it working 12 hours after applying it. It will at least (hopefully) provide some relief for your son. I haven't washed my daughter's hair or skin really in months. If I use any soap or shampoo she'll get an outbreak. Don't use anything. Or if you really want to wash his body occasionally, try the Spectro body wash. Also, limit the number of baths..try every 3 days if you're bathing him every day. I like the Ecos detergent because it's cost effective, good for the environment, AND it didn't cause a flare-up for Isabella's skin. Please keep me posted...

I have tried many creams (corts) seen 2 allergist and 2 dermatologist. He has been hospitalized for breathing issues as well. I have been looking into a lot of ingredients in cleaning products and detergents along with body washes. Scary!! I tried ecover laundry detergent, why do you like ecos so much and have you tried others like ecover and seventh gen.? I have used all free and clear since he was born. However, I am not sure if it is an issue or not, but I want to change anyways. Also, what do you use to bath your children? I have used bebeologie and california baby. He is a little more red when he comes out of the h20, but he needs his baths. Any advice, my ears are open. My 2yr. son has facial eczema and sometimes a rash on his neck and upper chest.
