2 Year Old With Eczema And Hypo-pigmentation On Calves

by Natalie
(Massachusetts)

I was hoping you could help, my son has hypo-pigmentation that the dermatologist said is post inflammatory due to eczema. I also have eczema so I'm pretty well versed on keeping him moisturized all the time (I used both Calendula ointment and Vaseline multiple times daily). I have used Hydrocortisone 1 or 2% ointment on him when it gets red and scaly but then I try to stop as soon as it starts to heal. Any recommendations?

Hello Natalie,

I am going to address several areas of concern here. I would be remiss if I didn't bring up the harmful side effects of using hydrocortisone creams. These side effects include: thinning and discoloration of the skin, easy bruising, permanent dilation of certain blood vessels, burn marks on skin, liver and kidney damage and a weakened immune system. Not only this, but steroid use almost always produces a "rebound effect" of the very symptoms you are trying to get rid of! I have many parents who report quite a bit of hypo-pigmentation problems on their children after using steroid cream. In some cases the hypo-pigmentation occurs is localized on the skin that has been treated and in other cases, the hypo-pigmentation spreads to other parts of the body.

There are so many products on the market today such as Aveeno, Vaseline, Eucerin and Aquaphor, however, these creams can actually increase the skin's dryness levels because they contain mineral oil or other petroleum based by products. These ingredients have NO usefulness to the skin nutritionally and in fact, the molecules are too large to even pass the pores of the skin so the cream just sits on top and literally suffocates these pores thereby causing further dryness and damage.

Here is what I recommend to help bring your son's skin layers back into a healthy function and balance. First, bath him with our FACE & BODY WASH which provides a gentle but thorough cleansing but does not strip the skin of it's natural PH. Next, gently apply a light coat of our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM. This rich cream penetrates all 7 layers of skin to restore balance from the bottom up to the very skin surface. The natural ingredients will steadily restore the normal function of the skin. Both of these products are formulated with skin nurturing ingredients that replenish natural moisture levels in the skin. We hear back so many times from happy moms and dads that their child's skin has resumed its normal tone while clearing up any eczema condition that may have existed.

Please keep me posted on your son's progress Natalie.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
