What a sssslippery little ssssucker!

I took Thomas to the Homeopath on Tuesday and she thinks that she'll be abe to help his skin get better. We were there two hours and she took lots of notes and said that there will be a remedy in the post within a week. She thinks the eczema could have been caused by the third set of injections, or dog fur, or teething or maybe central heating. She suggested using different creams from the ones the doctor prescribed, Calendula which is a natural one and can be used all over his body (inc eyes and nappy rash areas) and Aveeno cream to moisturise the skin. Unfortunately he scratched his eyes terribly all the way home as you can see by the pictures, one as we got home and the other after putting cream on.

The creams started to work for a few days but yesterday and today his skin seems really bad again, we're not sure what to do for the best. His face and head are really dry so we've gone back to using the cream from the doctor as the homeopathic creams didn't seem to soothe the skin at all. Fingers crossed the remedy will arrive very soon and that this horrible eczema will go quickly!
