Can't help you with your ?, but we leave in 1mo and my dd eczema is flaring up and does not do well with the chlorine either Just focusing on creaming heavy every morning and night- best of luck!

I bet that someone over in the 'Orlando Hotels & Attractions' board knows the answer to this one.

Just so that you are prepared for the cruise, did you know that DCL has fresh water in their pools. They do not use saltwater...at least DCL filter it for the pool water and drinking water so there is no salt in it.

The Country Inn and Suites on Universal Blvd (407-313-4200) has a salt water pool I believe.

Sorry to hijack your thread but I havea question for you great moms. My DD had here 7 year checck up on Monday and was told she had eczema. After reading your post, I thought back to our trip and how bad the 'dry skin' got on our vacation. She spent a TON of time in the pools. Anyway, what do you guys use to prevent it or use during bad flareups? I will definately keep an eye on the chlorine pools now. Thanks a bunch

hi, yes i know about the cruise pools and we were on the magic in 2007 and his skin seemed to cope well with the boat pools however on previous trips vacation rental pools and some hotel pools play havoc, it must be the extra chemicals that they use. The salt water does seem to ease it a little and it means that he play happily without so much issue with his skin afterwards so i do try and find saltwater if i can not always possible though.

In terms of the best way to cope, cream, cream and more cream is the answer. I find on areas prone to wetness, face around mouth hands etc ointment works better as it does not get washed off. but basically cream in the morning, before the pool, shower and cream straight away afterwards tends to keep flare ups at bay. also in the warm avoid clingy material and tyr to stick to cotton as otherwise you may have a flare up of prickly heat as well as eczema to cope with like i did last april in florida, not a pretty sight and very uncomfortable
