Eczema doesn't always itch. My daughter has just been diagnosed with it and hers has never been itchy. I put off taking her to the gp for so long because I thought it was just dry skin due to it not being itchy. But in the end what gave it away was the areas where she gets eczema, when they weren't flared up the skin was a different colour than the healthy skinx
Well we've just finally had an Eczema diagnosis from a different GP!
Just as you say James has never been itchy but I showed Dr some piccies of him after a bath (when it flares up most) and she said straight away it's Eczema. He is 2 different colours after a bath bless him!
She has prescribed some paraffin based cream to be applied a few times a day and used in bath. And a short course of Hydrocortisone to be used once a day for a week.
GP was asking about food allergies but he'd had it well before we started weaning so she was happy with that.
