This is a great product for eczema. My 5 year-old daughter suffers from a mild form of eczema, and this helped her ever since she got a severe skin infection by scratching when she was three. Initially this was purchased to hold the dressing in place, and for my daughter's fingers to not get into. I purchased a different cheaper type of tubular bandage, but this has worked much better.Tubifast bandage is constructed so well, that even if she scratches, her nails will not make her skin bleed or get infected. I usually use some kind of dressing if there is a wound or it has a bleeding spot, tape it with mepiform tape (kids with eczema cannot use normal band-aid as it will make the eczema worse around the wound, make it itchy and tempt her to scratch again, which would lead to bleeding, and so forth a vicious circle). Because mepiform tape is gentle on the skin, it will not stay very well on an active preschooler. So I put this tubular bandage on top, which will let her skin breath, but keep the dressing in place. Sometimes it runs up or down, so I tape 3M nexcare waterproof bandage tape (skin colored type, most flexible that I could find when ran around a limb) on the top and bottom.When I see a sign of redness but she has not scratched it to a point of bleeding, I would put some mild steroid (prescribed from the doctor) on and then just this bandage. It will heal like a miracle the next day. I have tried the same thing with her soft leggings pants, but it did not do the same thing. The steroid would just rub off and I would need to apply it again and again. However, with tubifast, it normally heals after she sleeps on it.Although this is not cheap, it saved me a lot of trips to the pediatrician, and also from using too much steroid. It also lasts a long time for a child. I used red line for her legs and arms when she was 3-4, green line for legs and red for arms when she was 4-5 years old (she is a very skinny child). Hope this information helps parents who have children with eczema.
