Reddit mentions of Wrap-E-Soothe Eczema Clothing, Tencel Tops for Kids (4 Years)

My son's hospital-based allergy clinic "double wraps".

Follow the bath advice already given here, then moisturize.

Edit: Below I talk about Tubifast products (here in .au). The Wrap E Soothe suits look (visually) similar ( http://www.amazon.com/Wrap-E-Soothe-Top-4-Years/dp/B00H0G7AYG ) -- Tubifast: http://www.molnlycke.co.uk/dermatology-scar-treatment/tubifast-garments/#confirm

Follow that with two layers of wrapping. The first layer should be wet - soak your wrappings and then wring them out tightly and apply. Over the top apply a second layer of wrappings which are dry. The wet layer helps keep the moisturizer on the skin and absorb better. The dry layer helps keep the bed, the couch, the ... everything from getting wet.

This is what we have been doing for over a year with our son and the difference was life-changing for him. He used to be covered in eczema head to toe all the time, now his skin is generally in good condition with just the baths every day and moisturising and tight fit cotton pyjamas. When his skin does flare we apply the wet and dry wraps. The difference in one night for him is remarkable.

The children's hospital supplies us with Epaderm ointment to use as his moisturiser. Because it is very thick, we generally use Cetaphil lotion for day to day when his skin is under control and then go to the Epaderm when his skin needs assistance.

The hospital also supplies Tubifast products for the wraps. We use a long sleeve "vest" and "leggings" that are basically stretchy bandages sewn to the shape of regular clothes. We use one layer wet, then a second pair dry over the top, then cotton pyjamas over the top of that. Because we are in a hot and humid climate most of the year, we usually use just the wet layer and then the pyjamas as the three layers is too hot.

The hospital also supplies Tubifast roll bandages that we cut to the length of his arms and legs and roll them on dry over the wet vest and leggings. This is amazingly effective at clearing eczema quickly, but after the first few weeks of the hospital's treatment plan, we have found it unnecessary since his eczema is dramatically better all-year-round.

To be clear, we put him to bed with wet wraps and pyjamas. It doesn't bother him at all. The vest and pants nature of the tubifast garments means its very difficult for him to cause any damage to his skin during the night with unaware scratching.

At the very beginning the baths and wraps were twice a day. Morning bath, wraps all day, bath at night, wraps at night.

Of course as someone already mentioned, you have to be certain of the root cause of the eczema, for which proper allergy testing is required. Find the cause and minimize or avoid it where possible and things should get better.

For us it turned out to be some foods and (primarily) dust mites, the main problem being the bed he sleeps in and the carpets at school. The bed we dealt with by using special matress covers and at school he never sits on the carpet any more.

If any of what I've mentioned is interesting to you, poke around on my past comment history.

I hope things get better for your daughter.
