Trying Something for Eczema

I've made something I'm calling Luci's Lotion for a spot of eczema on Luci's arm. Ever since she was ours, she's had little-bitty bumps on her trunk. They don't itch, and they are nearly invisible. But this new spot just started up on her inside elbow when swim lessons started (the cause?) and it itches.

Here's the recipe, from this site by Karen DeFelice:

Three tablespoons water plus four tablespoons Epsom salts plus 12 tablespoons coconut oil. (Susan's note: I put the water into a little saucepan and heated it up to dissolve the Epsom salts, then mixed them into the coconut oil.) The coconut oil is good for the skin anyway and it seems to counter the drying effect of the salts. Apply this liberally on the skin and it soaks in plus leaves the skin smooth and soft. Adjust the quantity of salts to your liking.

I'll let you know how it goes.
