Hi,
I have a 9month old who has had ezcema since she was 2months old. She has her ezcema in the usual places, knees, ankles, arms, but scratches her head and the back of her neck the worsed even when the ezcema is not there. She does this when she is tired or upset, could this be habit? She also scratches her head and neck when she is trying to get to sleep and if I don't put her cotton sleeping bag (which I had made with gloves) on, there is no hope of her getting to sleep. Is there anything I can do to wean her out of this scratching habit or is she really itchy although I can't see the ezcema?
