I tried getting that for DS, but GP refused. We then bought a pack of dermasilk tubular sleeves for his arms to see if it would work for him; he now rarely scratches his arms when he has them on, and asks for them to be put on. His arms are now much better.
I will of course be going back to the GP to see if there is any chance of gettiing some on prescription.

thats the same make my GP has given us via a sample he had - and it did make him less itchy at night. I heard its expensive but that is not a genuine excuse by GP to not prescribe it. Will let you know how i get with getting some prescribed by the gp officially.

Update just been told by GP surgery patients are not allowed more than one garment per year!! i was hoping they would allow a patient to at least have 2-3 changes of this clothing but not allowed....

Grrr on your behalf!

I handwashed the sleeves last week but they took ages to dry. Given that they had blood on them from his eczema you can't exactly leave them dirty!

As you say, 2 or 3 changes of clothing doesn't seem unreasonable...:rolleyes:

Organic cotton is great for eczema sufferers due to the fact that there are no chemicals used in the production of the cotton.

Hi my son has suffered from severe eczema and at age 6 still has it and is under GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL where his condition is controlled with immune suppresents . If you are looking for clothing that covers the hands and feet to help protect damage to skin plese look at snugglepaws as a possible helpful solution .

my friend uses organic unbleached cotton clothes too
have you tried eliminating all detergetents? they seem to be a common eczema trigger and they're everywhere - in laundry liquid, toileteries, make up, etc
my friend set up an information resource to share how she got her son's severe eczema under control through detergent elimination and avoiding dietary triggers - might be helpful - hope it's ok to post a link www.itchybaby.co.uk - there's a chat about clothes on the forum as well as information on the site
