I don't know if you can get it over the counter but I got fucidin for Charleys ezcema and it cleared up within 3 days!

I'ld go to drs, or get health visitor to prescribe, we use hydromol, but there is a fair range of emmollients/creams that all suit different babies

Hi, How is Lo?
We use aveena bath oil and moisturiser, prescribed so free as getting through quite a lot. Gp also prescribed steroid cream as it was all over lo and very angry. The sterios cream is pretty strong I think but has calmed it quicly so now will stop using. Hope you find something.

Well i went to get him weighed on thursday and i told HV that he has eczema and she checked it and said it is and to take him GP, i must have sounded like i dont care coz i said - i no its eczema so i dont want to waste the drs time. So she said to bathe him in aqcrious cream and get a good moisturiser so i got boots emolliant cream and so far its helping *touches wood* but hes got it all over his bottom and going up his back aswell but im gonna try porridge oats in bath this week aswell as the oat milk is meant to help x

you wouldn't be wasting drs time but up to you whether or not you want to use a steroid cream i guess as that's what doc would prescribe. We just used tiny bit for a week and it's made it less angry and itcy aas he was a bit uncomfortable with it. Good luck with the oats, let me know how it goes! Think oats must be good as the aveena products we use are both oat based x

you can get the aqueous cream and emolients on prescription
