4. You can consider getting laundry detergent that is for sensitive skin or specially formulated for babies. Laundry detergent may linger on the clothes and become and irritant to a anyone with sensitive skin. My friends have tried Method and eCover brands and found those to be less harsh.

Yup currently using ecover, nellie and zum wash, all less harsh and works, however a specialist once told me that laundry is not an irritant as it washes off and doesn't remain on skin. Wants to know what is other experts take on this

For 4. I didn't know it's a concern, as once she is dirty a bit, i will change clothes for her, keep her as clean as possible to help to lighten the condition.

For the elbow, she tend to scratch it on and off, hence it's super hard to recover, when it's almost recover, she scratch it, fresh blood again. What i do now is, after i apply steroid cream, i paste the bandage over, to prevent her scratching in the day, as once she sleep she won't scratch. And seem to recover better also. Get those good bandag
