I recommend Small Wonder Creamy Baby Oil. This has cleared up eczema for many little ones with this condition. It’s more like a cream than an oil. It provides the same benefits and protection, but it’s faster absorbing and less greasy. It’s pH balanced and dermatologist tested for delicate skin and contains soothing vitamin E and allantoin to prevent dryness and irritation. Also is an all natural product and can be purchased on line.
Hope this is helpful and feel free to contact me with questions.
for dry skin my doctor recommended aquaphor. my freinds newborn had eczema sh was recommended that too by her allergist.
try calendula cream
your son have a food intolerance either to something you feed him with or to a food you eat if you are still breast feeding him..or maybe to a deterjent or any soap..shampoo etc. you better take him to a Nutritional Therapist so they can do the tests and give you the corret suppliment in order to heal the eczema..it serious thing ..and check the below

good luck
IF YOU MEAN HIS SCALP, THEN I SUGGEST OLIVE OIL, MY MOM SAID SHE USED IT B/C I HAD REALLY BAD ECZEMA ON MY HEAD WHEN I WAS LITTLE, I GUESS IT HELPED A TON B/C I NO LONGER HAVE ANY ECZEMA ABOVE MY NECK. IF YOU MEAN HIS FACE AND ALL THEN I WOULD STILL SUGGEST IT B/C IT COULD STILL WORK THERE, I USE BABY OIL (NOT ON MY FACE, BUT IT WORKS EVERYWHERE ELSE) AND PETROLEUM JELLY (VASALINE, ONLY A LITTLE ON MY FACE, BUT IT WORKS WELL B/C MY FACE DOESN’T GET DRY AND IT DOESN’T MAKE ME BREAK OUT OR CLOG MY PORES).
