My nephew has eczema so severe, he looks like a burn victim, with next to no patches of skin left. He is bright red all over, and bleeding and pussing due to no first layer of skin left. He is only 8 months old and has been to 4 specialist, including the Pediatric Dermatologist from John's Hopkins, one of the most predominant, well-known hospitals in the United States! Is there anyone who has eczema this bad? Has anyone overcome it or found treatments that actually work? Please HELP!!

In the absence of a derm, bath the child in warm saltwater ( sub-seawater concentration, slightly stinging but not so strong as to irritate) or QV-flareup (or Oilatum Plus) twice day to help clear the infection. Keep the child reasonably cool and calm (!) and cover non-weepy areas with soothing bland moisturizer or vaseline. As the infection clears the skin will begin the heal and clam down, while the moisturizer will help keep the bacteria out of the deeper skin layers.
