Cameron has eczema, a rare form of it. The Dermatologist said it runs in families. Cameron's half sister also has it, and my nephew has it as well. The doctor said that Cam will be extremely sensitive to bug bites, and dust mites. I have to vaccuum everyday. All of our sheets, blankets, clothes, towels, etc have to be 100% cotton. I have to bathe Cam with pure Dove soap, no dyes or perfumes. Our laundry detergent must be free of dyes and perfumes. The doctor said that Cam will battle with this for years, he may grow out of it... he may not. I work with a girl that has it and she's 23 years old. The doctor gave me a cream that I have to apply on Cameron twice a day.
He goes back to the Dermatologist in 3 weeks.
Thanks to everyone that tried to help me figure out what was wrong. At least now I know, and we can deal with it.
Take care & God Bless

Sorry to hear about Cam's eczema, but glad it isn't any worse! You may want to try this allergy website for some of the things that you. I am allergic to bug bites and dust mites, etc., and have used this company for sheets, laundry detergent, etc. They are wonderful.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

I'm glad that you found out what is wrong. My sister has severe asthma and she invested in one of the Dyson vacuum cleaners. She has noticed a huge difference in her breathing and allergies since buying it. My son has EXTREMELY sensitive skin and I use the Baby Aveeno bath products for him along with the perfume/dye -free laundry soaps. When he is exposed to regular soap he scratches himself bloody....my husband is the same way.
