Lotion: He may be experiencing eczema or an allergic reaction. I would recommend seeing your Pediatrician. Were there any new food exposures including your diet? Is there any wheezing, rash or any other symptoms? You can try a soothing eczema cream for babies until seen.

My husband and I have been itching like crazy for awhile now. I have blisters on my hands. My 10-month-old has a rash and dry skin everywhere and a slight itch. Weve tried scabies, lotion, eczema cream, psoriasis treatment, etc and nothing works.
As a permanent eczema sufferer, I've long struggled to find a way to ease the itching despite treatments for dry skin. Even if I constantly moisturise, there is still no way to know when and why an itch or rash will emerge. Have you any suggestions?
