I’m not sure about curing Eczema, but Charlie’s Soap is the best detergent that I’ve found for not leaving a residue on clothing. It’s not too expensive and they have free shipping. Worth a try!

I don’t know what the BEST detergent would be, but I would recommend looking for one that is for sensitive skin, unperfumed no colorants etc., I would imagine that Purex may be okay, but read the label. If you have a baby wash that you use for your child with no adverse effects, you may want to wash his or her clothes in that until you find the correct brand.
Best of luck.

“Baby All” is all we can use anything else even Dreft leaves whelps on our daughter. We also have to use cetaphil soap, and moisturizing cream. There are meds. we also use too. Hope this helps….

My Daughter as well has Eczema and we use “ALL-FREE” Its the “ALL” brand of Detergent except it is free of dyes, perfumes, ect…You can buy it at most retailers nationwide. It really does help! Good Luck!

Use only detergents that have no dyes, no scents and no bleaches.

Perfumes can make eczema more aggrivated. You want to lean towards detergents that have no perfumes in it (I use regular Tide). Also you want to avoid soaps with perfumes, I recommend the regular Dove soap bar. I was born with severe eczema and these are the things that my dermatologist recommended to my mother and I’ve used them ever since. Are you sure that your son/daughter has actual eczema? If you aren’t sure you should go see a dermatologist just to get a proper diagnosis.
.If they do indeed have eczema there is no known definite cure, however you do eventually grow out of it to some degree. I am 19 years old now and I rarely have any breakouts. The only time I get the rash is in the cold winter months, and when I sweat in places like behind the knee, on the inside of my thighs, and more commonly the place where you bend your arm. I had tried every type of anti-itch eczema-related cream that my dermatologist recommended and nothing worked. One day I saw a commercial for ‘Brand Power’ and they had this new eczema cream that they highly recommended. It is called ‘Spectro EczemaCare Intense Rehydration Cream’ and it goes for about $18-$20 dollars per 100g tube. At first I thought I was getting ripped off for my money because with all the other creams I used I would use tons and tons of it to no avail. However, with this cream all you have to use (depending on how large the breakout is) is a blob the size of a finger nail and just rub it in really good. I purchased this cream in approx. March of this year, and there is around half of the tube left. The itch goes away in about 3-5 minutes and the eczema will disappear in 2-3 days or less. With myself I only have to apply it once to the breakout area and it’s gone within two days. I really do recommend you try this because if they had this when I was a kid It would have been a personal jesus.
I hope this helps
