The high presence of staph can exacerbate eczema and can on occasions lead to infection. Having disinfectant baths at home can be helpful for this reason, dead sea or Epsom salts, helping to keep staph levels under control.

We have been in the same position so subtly had to put on the creams, whcih are a good barrier even though it makes the little ones hard to keep hold of as they try to slip through your hands. Gloves in a bottle were mentioned to us (its a cream) its not too thick and it works if you put it anywhere on the body. See our blog on talkhealth about the activites we get up to.
