My son has had severe skin problems as well. He is no 6 yrs old and still has the problem, but not as bad because I have learned how to control it. There are alot of medications that require perscriptions, but there are bad side effects and dangers, one he had used causes thin skin and ruptured blood vessels, another they recently found that he had used causes skin cancer with prolonged use. The aveeno line works better than any perscription or anything else I have tried, unfortunately you have to keep up with it to get it to work. I have put lotion on my sons skin every day 3times a day for 6 years,( his started when he was 2 weeks old). I use the oatmeal bath every other day, (he cant get a bath every day b/c it dries out his skin so bad that he scratches until he bleeds, then cries because the lotion stings). three times a day I put aveeno excema lotion on, and on real bad places I use aveeno excema ointment 2x a day until it lets up then I only use that when I need to. I understand where you are coming from, he used to cry every night because he itched so bad and it hurt. but since I started using my aveeno remedy it is much better. I hope this advice helps.
