heya, im Kate, I live in England and i know the facilities are probably better over here for skin treatments but i guess everythings worth a try. Ive had excema all my life and the key to controlling my skin is mousturising it as much as i can. My skin has very dry and is very flaky, this is extremely itchy and can become inflammed easily. Everyones skin is different but i have to drink lots of water and apply a mousturising cream regulary - called \"Diprobase\" is works very well for me. If you want to contact me, my email is : khollo20@hotmail.com im happy to help in any way possible as i know the discomfort your son must be in. Love Kate xxx
