My child was born 6 wks ago and in the last 3 wks has developed what seems to be eczema.. the skin on his face(mostly on his ears, between his eyes and chin) broke out in tiny (almost not visible) little blisters, then by the next day this had turned to crusts.. feels dry and bumpy. He has little red spots all over face and head.. now reaching the top of his head and shoulders also.. which come up and go down in terms of redness, always there however.. can be seen in the light, and felt with fingertips if skin lightly brushed. The skin is a bit flaky as well as crusty(not infected at all, nor does it seep). I was recommended to use 'Sulphur 200', which I have gone and bought as a fresh preparation. As he is only 6 wks old.. I would only really consider taking it myself and letting it reach him via my breastmilk.. I also have red, raised.. itchy, flaky patches on my face since giving birth and a bad back, both of which apparently are responsive to sulphur? HELP!! Should I take the sulphur and how often should it be taken?
