I have a mostly clear almost 4 year old who had bad eczema as a baby...you can pm me if you want, and I made a big post on the other thread.....
I really like the ShiKai Borage lotion, which is probably similar to using epo topically. I had a hard time using straight oils on her skin because it just seemed to make things worse. We're using elidel now, and like it better than the steroids.
We did try eliminating foods and nothing really helped her....but her's was severe, and basically everyone on both sides of my family gets it from time to time, so she had some history there. Homeopathy helped a little, cleared up the scalp, but wasn't really effective in the long run.
Good luck!
