If no natural treatment for eczema gives results, one can always try some scissors instead!

I'm joking... I found oatmeal masks to be very good for the skin. And they are easy to make at home.

"Eczema can affect babies as young as one".This isn't true, unfortunately babies can have eczema well before there 1st Birthday.

It's a nice idea for a hub... you could also add putting oats in tights into your bath. Like an all over 'face' mask, but without all the bits floating around :) My baby is 9 months old and has a few patches of eczema. I wish I knew what caused it!

Interesting skydiver - I thought very small babies were oK particularly if they were breast fed. My niece has just been cleared of excema and she is 6 -so they do grow out of it.

The oatmeal in tights is a good idea thanks!
