I just saw this on BBC News website. My son had eczema all through his childhood and I know how awful it can be for a tiny child.
Yes - have forwarded that link to several folk I know.
Very interesting.

i live in an area that has soft water and it made no difference to my sons symptoms whatsover
I live Sheffield which is a soft water area. I suffer from Eczema. Dont hold your breath folks. Had it since I was 6 weeks old. Its worse now than it ever was.
I'm pretty sure (dim memories of chemistry module at Uni) that water from a 'water softener' is not the same as what we traditionally call soft water from the ground.
For those who are suffering it may be worth a little investigation.
