Hi there Carrie,

My DH had similar problems with his skin, but I've found a product that really works for him. He's not used soap in a long time, but since changing to this product, had doesn't have any eczema at all.

I don't know if it's available in the USA, but you could check. It's made by Ego and is called QV Wash. This is the foaming one for use in the bath or shower, but also comes as bath oil, skin lotion or cream. It's Ph balanced, has no colours, fragrances or soap. None of the traditional irritants to skin.

I daresay there's something similar available where you live, and certainly give it a try if you can.

Here are two links for you Carrie. One is from the manufacturer, and the other from a sales outlet.
