If son is one and a half and his eczema is not clearing up what can you use for itching?

I have eczema too and you may want to check with your doctor first, but I use Aveeno Oatmeal bath to help soothe the itch. Try to keep him out of the sun, as sweating and overheating only makes it worse. The Aveeno Oatmeal baths are great, just let him soak in the tub with warm water, not hot. Also, keep the areas moisturized! The more dry the skin the worse. Use non-scented lotions and soaps. Cetaphil, found at any local drugstore, is good for b/c there is no scent or dyes and it's not greasy feeling like some of the other super moisturizing lotions. Hope this helps!

What percentage of people have Scabies?

When left untreated long-term, scabies may lead to a condition called Norwegian crusted scabies, in which dense, scaly patches cover large parts of your body, rendering your skin unrecognizable. In a normal scabies infestation, you may only have 10 to 15 female scabies mites inhabiting your body; up to 2 million may be noted in advanced cases of scabies. According to the University of Sydney and Westmead Hospital's Department of Medical Entomology, if you have this type of infection, you may be considered the source of a local epidemic. You'll require isolation, and health care practitioners who treat you will also need to be treated for scabies, as infestation can occur if someone simply touches your hand or bed linens. You can call 888-329-1748 to find a local treatment center

She started me on a vitamin D supplement (Metagenics), and also gave me a steroid shot. I can't say which one helped, but I no longer have the itching.
