Sean's (rough) skin history

He was born with extremely dry skin - supposedly due to being nearly "overcooked".
Once he was done shedding like a snake..he developed baby acne.
Now that the baby acne is gone, he has developed what seems to be eczema and a general rash.
We have just tended to let things run their course, but now we are trying to manage.. I am trying to keep him moisturized as much as possible and put my essential oils on him. We are also going to start washing his clothes in a gentile detergent.
Oh yeah, he also malls his head with his finger nails so bad that his head is bleeding and full of cuts. We also tried to manage that but it's getting out of control. He has officially lost his hand privileges and we are keeping mittens on him at all times with the exception of gym time. So, i'm also working on keeping those healed. They do seem to heal pretty well/fast, but they just keep reappearing.

 I hope things will just run their course and we don't have a long battle with allergies and things.
