Just wanted to say how sorry I am for the horrible suffering of your little son. Eczema alone can be excruciatingly painful, as you surely know, it is far worse than simple itching, I know firsthand that it feels like a severe burn. And remembering some bad flares, I cannot even begin to imagine how awful it would be to have widespread bacterial infection in the rash.

I would certainly be applying 10 ppm (at least) pure CS to all the affected skin. I would not use any silver protein product in such a case, though, because silver protein products can be contaminated with bacteria, what I read is that the gelatin coats the silver particles and ions, so they cannot contact bacteria to kill them. So there could be silver particles coated with gelatin, and the gelatin can have live bacteria growing that the silver can't kill. If that makes sense--I read this a long time ago.

I also use a 50/50 mix of CS and aloe vera juice on the rash areas. Once the skin is wet with either straight CS or a mixture of CS/Aloe, some people say they wrap the skin with saran wrap, to keep the skin wet longer. I personally have never tried it. but I do use a homemade cream that I apply heavily over the eczema rash.

With such a young infant, it is very scary to even say what I use on myself.............because I don't know what is safe to do for babies. There are some internet sites that have articles about infant eczema, with photos. Have you done any internet searches?

I posted a minute ago about my son and his eczema, but forgot to say he was prescribed a cortisone cream once and he proved to be allergic to it--it made the eczema far worse.

I had to post a new thread: Strep not herpes, as the diagnosis was reassessed. The condition in my son, being an atopic eczema child, has been more dangerous than usual, due to the skin condition, and the extent and pace of infection, and severity of the symptoms. Not much time for homeopathic remedy..in just one week from onset he was close to death and 90% skin covered , with loss of skin comparable to a sever burn victim.
