[CP.AR]

Well, my brother just came back from a very lengthly visit from the doctor yesterday, and our family doctor has finally referred him to the Children's hospital. it turns out that he has a very weird case of eczema that came along with something else; his skin cannot and does not hold moisture properly. Doc did say however, to do what YK86 suggested and try to switch washing detergents with no additives, as well as wear only 100% cotten clothing. As for the topical steroid creams, conversely because of his skin condition he should stop using them (even though my doc prescribed him with it before =.=). It's a rare case he says, but hasn't been evident until now when his entire body's skin covering seems like it's about to crack.

Oh and Thesalesman11, take a shower with "cetaphil" - that stuff is pretty much designed for use by people with skin problems (it lists eczema =D)

Thanks guys!
