Denorex has the best anti-itch medicine I've been able to find. You could try washing his affected areas with the shampoo (leave it on a little while even, if you can). And in the colder weather, you could try to get him to wear gloves or mittens to bed so it would be harder for him to scratch.

I've had severe eczema since the age of one year old and just recently experienced a cure (I"m 51 now). The flax oil WILL help in time. My son's pediatrician, Dr. Fleiss in LA always gives flaxoil to his little patients when they have skin condition. The results are almost always excellent. Food also are often the cause of eczema as you have already discoved with your son. Pagano explains in his book why nightshade vegetables (tomato, potato, eggplant, peppers) cause eczema. I have stopped eating these food for the past several years despite the fact that I absolutely adore all of them. My grandmother and parents always tried to prevent me from scratching and even tied my hands to the bed. This is DISASTROUS! I found out later <!--more--> that scratching DOES NOT CAUSE THE ECZEMA TO BECOME WORSE AT ALL, to the contrary. Fluid would build and accumulate under the skin causing swelling and intense itching. This fluid is toxic and is seeking a WAY OUT OF THE BODY. Scratching allows those toxins to get out more rapidely by opening the skin. But if scratching is prevented, the fluid or toxins would come out anyway sooner of later. I strongly recommend that you seek a consultation with a homeopath for your son. Please keep in touch. I'll be glad to help any way I can. I feel so sorry for those babies! Shirley Hello Debra,
My heart goes out to you and your little boy. I’ve had severe eczema
since the age of one year old and just recently experienced a cure (I"m

Fleiss in LA always gives flaxoil to his little patients when they have
skin condition. The results are almost always excellent.

Food also are often the cause of eczema as you have already discoved
with your son. Pagano explains in his book why nightshade vegetables

My grandmother and parents always tried to prevent me from scratching

that scratching DOES NOT CAUSE THE ECZEMA TO BECOME WORSE AT ALL, to the
