    Default Grrrr!!!

    Morning all...sorry to start with a rant!

    Little one has really bad eczema....and has been sent to me the second day in a row with no cream in her bag, despite me specifically asking, and writing into their contract that they have to bring it. Poor little thing!!!

    What am I allowed to put on her skin to sooth it? I'll go and buy some E45 or whatever if thats allowed?

    Personally I would call the parent and tell them that the child is distressed with it so they need to bring something out to you

    Why should you go out and buy something - sorry I think that is really unfair

    Even more unfair to bring the child like that

    Sorry not much help but things like that do really annoy me

    sorry i wanted to get that posted quickly
    my youngest had really bad excema on her face and she was prescribed e45 her excema never seemd to clear and then i realised that my hands were covered in rash too so i stopped using everything and both my hands and charlotte's face completely cleared up.
    it was the e45 making us both really bad so i would never use it unless i was 100% sure that the baby wasn't allergic to it

    I would phone the parent and get her to bring her cream now, tell her you did tell her you needed it and donttake no for an answer, if she says she cant say I cant provide adequate childcare for your child then could you please collect her !!!! bet she wont forget it again xxx

    Both parents work quite far away (as in 1.5 hours travel there, 1.5 back) so I would feel petty asking them to do a three hour round journey for a pot of cream. Am really annoyed about it though - for her sake!!!

    You are right about allergies...she actually uses aqueous (sp?) cream not E45...good point!

    Interesting you should say about your hands rashing up...I have eczema on my hands and I used to rub in E45 and it used to crack...thought nothing of it, just assumed it was my skin that was the problem. Thinking about it now though, I use Johnsons cream on my skin and it hasnt cracked for months. (Touch wood!). Oooh - this forum

    so what are you going to do then?

    thing is it is there problem not yours if they have to travel to bring the cream

    Is the little one distressed ?

    Well if you do nothing today then i would make a point in saying later when they collect that in future it can not be left and you will have to call them out of work if they forget the cream

    My 5 year old son suffers with eczema. Bless him, he has the hands of an old man. Anyhow, I use Unguentum M cream and a steroid based cream when he has really bad patches - as well as Balneum Plus Bath Oil and Aqueous Cream to wash him.
    Anyhow, it has really piddled me off that his parents haven't provided his cream. It breaks my heart watching my son scratching - especially when he was younger and scratched his hands until they bled.
    Do you have animals as this triggers the scratching as it is the animal dander (oils, hair) that get attached to your clothes/carpet and become airborne that can start the scratching off.
    I'm obviously no help as you can't do much without the parents permission but personally, I couldn't look after a child whose creams haven't been left with you as it would upset me to watch them in so much discomfort. As has been suggested, either the parents provide the cream or they pick him up from you.
    Good luck.

    I agree with everyone about getting the parents to give you some cream today! They have signed to say they will provide it, not your fault they've forgot!

    If yourmindee is distressed and itching then surely the parents will be concerned enough to bring their child something which they need?

    can the parents leave a pot of the cream at your house so that they never forget it?

    just a thought
