Are you sure it's eczema?  My husband has bad psoriasis and sebhorrea
especially on his scalp.  It looks very different than my or my
duaghter's eczema patches.  His is more crusty and oily looking whereas
the eczema is red and dry.

Have you tried any of the coal tar shampoos?  My husband uses Denorex
daily plus some other meds from the dermtologist to keep things under
control.  Occasionally, he has to get cortisone shots into the bas spots
on other parts of his body.

Just some thoughts,
Kathy P.
