The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Infant Eczema
My 4 month old son has had gradually worsening eczema on his head over the last month or so. He is an identical twin and his brother shows no symptoms. The rash began oh the back/top of his head and has worked around to his forehead and cheeks. What information is needed to determine proper remedy? I've heard both petroleum and sulphur may work. Thank you.bacoj1 on 2011-01-05
