Lucas has had a rouch couple months…. it all started, practicaly to the day, when he turned 3 months old, his skin became dry and cracked and he began ictching all over.  His face/forehead took the brunt of most of his itching.  We figured it was eczema so I always made sure he was “greased” up to keep his skin moist, but after days of applying lotion everytime I changed his diaper and nothing helping we finally took him to the doctor.  She said it was eczema but that he also had a secondary infection on his head.  Needless to say, we left the doctors office with 3 perscriptions and a list of what was needed to help relive him of his discomfort.  Thank God for antibiotics!  Within an hour of giving him his first dose of antibiotic to kill the infection the redness on his head was significantly less!  And after a week, his skin was amazing and practically back to the soft baby skin he was born with.  Although he still has pretty bad craddle cap, we are thankful the rest of his body is much better and fairly eczema/rash free. 

Here are some pics of what the poor guy had to deal with:
