| YKY, sorry to hear. I do feel for you... my son just turned 6 months and he suffers from eczema as well. One time it got so bad that his bedsheet was all bloody!
Now that the condition seems to be under control, still some weeks he'd be fine and some weeks he would have red patches on his temples, chin, back of his ears, ankles, behind his legs and on his torso. Elidel and Steroid (at serious outbreak) helps but it often take a week sometimes more for his skin to clear up. He's taking Nan HA which is supposed to be better for babies his condition. One pd suggested us to try soy milk and another suggested us to be patient and just let him outgrow it - he said a lot of babies suffer from eczema until they are 1 or 2 years old.
Though my baby still have problems when the weather changes, I do notice the condition seem to be less severe as the first few times so I hope the pd is right about babies outgrowing the problem and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Please keep updating this thread, would love to hear more about homeotherapy for eczema and its effect on your son! Thanks and good luck!  |
