My son has eczema on his head we have tried everything, even stuff from docs, but nothing seems to work. Anybody any ideas please.

Some of my family are plagued with eczema from childhood - it seems to be hereditary but not always passed (my niece has twins - one has it the other doesn't). I don't think there is a really effective cure yet - I wish there was.

Have you tried T tree oil?

Indeed, there have been previous threads on your son's eczema over the years.

My advice is to get an opinion of a Consultant Dermatologist NHS or private.

He saw a consultant some years ago, I think we should try again.We will have to try Nizoral shampoo and cream as well.

I don't know how old your son is but I knew a young man in his mid twenties who had bad eczema on his face. After he gave up smoking, it cleared up.
I thought it was worth a mention for anyone who smokes. ( not saying your son smokes of course)

My nephew suffered badly from this, but he eventually grew out of it in his mid-20s. He did have medically prescribed creams and shampoos which helped a lot until then. I don't know if this helps at all.

Eumovate worked for my OH when he had psoriasis on his scalp.

Nizoral worked for me
