Hi Natalie,
Gatecrash away and yes it definitely helped!! I wish I had seen your reply the day you wrote it!!
I went away last weekend with LO for a long weekend in a cottage with 11 others and Teddy was suffering quite badly with the Eczema so I lathered him in Aqueous Cream on both days thinking it was helping.
He had a really bad night on the Friday, he was really unsettled, boiling hot, he had a red rash on his forehead which was also raised and he was crying his eyes out.
I thought it was down to him being over-stimulated by all the strangers and the house we stayed in was extremely hot as well.
We eventually got him to take his bottle and down for a sleep but he wouldn't stop itching his head and I could see he was uncomfortable. We even contemplated taking to an out of hours doctor if he got any worse.
The next morning he seemed much better and his head looked a lot calmer but again by the evening we had a repeat of the night before.
I didn't put any Aqueous Cream on his head on the Mon and Tues and his head started to look a little better by the Wednesday. Yesterday his head looked a little dry so I popped a layer of Aqueous Cream on his forehead and it came up again, same as before: red rash, raised and lumpy, he was itching which was causing him to cut himself with his nails, generally distressed and uncomfortable.
So, I have come to the conclusion that he was being aggravated by the Aqueous cream and I definitely won't be using it on him again.
So, thank you for your advice, I was actually googling similar stuff yesterday and then thought I'd pop onto this thread to let others know and that's when I saw your reply.
It's a shame I didn't see it prior to going away.
