KP on 3 yr old's face - What works??!!

My son has terrible KP on his cheeks and arms. It's very red on his face and there are a million bumps.

On a side note I found it interesting when I took him to the first day at a new preschool and the kids were more interested in why his face was red than the fact that he in a wheelchair and can't speak, sit up, etc. (he has quad cerebral palsy)

Anyway, we've tried lots of things. The one that worked a little was Umetra, but like I said it only worked a little.

The dermatologist has just prescribed Kerol and also a corticosteroid cream.

Would the pool help? What soap do you use on your child? How often do you bathe him/her? What lotions do you use? What else do you use? Does your system help the KP?

Thanks to anyone who can offer even a tidbit of advice!
Linda

This is only one suggestion, but have you read the posts on Success Stories: What Works for KP on Children
