My daughter is 3 1/2 years old and she has small sores from where she scratches. She has been treated for eczema and we use Aveeno lotion on her. She mostly gets this in the winter months when her skin is really dry.
I was wondering what is the best kind of detergent to use on her clothes? I was using gain and then changed to something that had no perfumes then I missed my good smell and bought the gain again and it broke her out. Is there something out there that smells good and is helpful to her skin?
Thanks

" My suggestion is to do what's best for your daughter, which unfortunately may mean you giving up the perfumes. Perfumes are known to irritate sensitive folks - it's why when you go to the allergy clinici they often state no perfumes in the waiting area. I use All Free and Clear. "

" Thanks everyone. I have started using All Free and Clear and it helps out a lot.
My daughter cries when I put lotion on her. She says it is cold and I try to warm it with my hands. Has anyone else tried the seventh generation talked about earlier? Where can you buy it? "
