Our little guy is now 15 1/2 months and we've been dealing with a horrible bout of eczema the past couple of months thanks to the winter weather and indoor heat. Anyway, because it spread through his scalp we cut his hair very short so the oils and things could get to his scalp. No noticeable problem there now but all of a sudden (just the past week) his hair just stinks. Smells like puke! We washed it Tuesday and used our normal shampoo and oil conditioner (we started using the oilier one with the eczema) and by Wednesday afternoon it was already stinking again. I find myself putting the non-oily conditioner on it just to get the fruity smell stronger but it doesn't last but a few hours. Any ideas?

my daughter has excema, but not on her scalp, so i may be wrong on this, but it is now recommended you bathe children with excema daily, to help cut down on the staph. maybe washing it more frequently? i am curious to see what other have to say.

It sounds as if your child has a bacterial infection. You really should consult a pediatrician or pediatric dermatologist.
