Hi.  My son had eczema when he was born until he outgrew it at 6.  We tried everything including moisturizing his legs with Eucerin, then wrapping them in cellophane overnight to seal in the moisture and keep him from scratching.  This sounds weird, but actually worked really well.  I was so happy when it finally went away.  My son is now 17 and it has come back with a vengeance!  His eczema is pretty bad in the normal places (back of knees, arms, tail bone) but now at 17 he has it all over his face.  We are working with a dermatologist, and allergist with changing his environment and diet, but my question is has anyone had any real luck with either a whole house water filter (removes chlorine) or with a whole house water softener?   We are trying everything!
