Our 6 month old boy has some rather nasty eczema currently spreading over his arms , legs , face and back.
We have been to our doctors who gave us some steroid cream and anti biotic's. He has finished the course of anti biotic's.
Thing's are not really clearing up , weve tried epederm cream , which has eased the itching.
His babysuits are sticking to his arm's which is not only painful , it's painful to see him suffer.
I really was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent dermatologist in Scotland , we are nearer to Edinburgh. But are prepared to travel.
Money is not a major issue , we would do anything to help stop our wee man suffering.
Kind thank's , in advance. Paul.

Many thanks for all your replies.
Just a quick update . My wife took Lewis to our doctor's today , he made an urgent referral to the skin specialist at Forth Valley Hospital.
How urgent depend's on how busy they are!
Lewis has been given hydrocortisone ? cream , emolient and epaderm .
Also silk pyjamas to stop the sticking. And there's a bath ointment .
So far his skin's certainly no worse. So a matter of time . I would still like to visit/contact a dermatologist to get a second/third opinion.
As for the milk issue , Lewis has been breastfed from day dot. Please excuse the poor spelling of the various ointment's !

Okay well update , Lewis has an appointment tomorrow with the skin specialist up at Forth Valley Hospital.
And the doc has given us some more creams and a stronger steroid cream aswell.
Infact in the past two or three days there's been a steady inprovement in the wee mans skin.
And he's not as grumpy or irritable as he was. Still wake's rubbing his arms and face in the night though.
