Patsy,

Look at the products at this site.

http://www.earthwormherbals.com/eczemaproducts.html If soy is a problem,

they will make a formula that is soy free, too. Good luck, I know this is a

tough one.

Maybe he needs a little GLA instead (or do you use this)?. Sometimes it is

<< He takes flax seed oil every day and I have not seen an improvement.

He has been getting it for about 2 months now.
