9 Month Old With Severe Eczema

by Cookie
(Pennsylvania)

My son has had eczema associated with food allergies since 5 weeks old. My son's face is always red and weeping to the point he has been given oral antibiotics 2 times in one month. His face has never been clear no matter how much I moisturize or use Hydrocortisone cream, Eucerin, or Vaseline. It is so bad that he can hardly sleep at night due to itching and irritation. Please advise me?

Response to 9 Month Old With Severe Eczema

Hello Cookie,

First I want to praise you for seeking natural remedies for your son's eczema problem. While hydrocortisone creams are typically prescribed by dermatologists and others in the medical field to alleviate eczema symptoms, they are harsh and can produce side effects which include: thinning 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 once these steroid creams are no longer used, the skin problem comes back many times worse than before.

Also, products such as Eucerin and Vaseline 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 my recommendation to clear up your son's facial eczema.

1) Wash his skin with our FACE & BODY WASH which is gentle and hypo-allergenic and filled with health building ingredients. It will begin the repair process while adding moisture to his troubled skin.

2) Apply our FACE & NECK THERACREAM twice daily to his face as this will immediately stop the itching and relieve inflammation of his skin. This highly therapeutic cream will begin to unpack the dry damaged cells that lie beneath the top surface of his skin and then fill those areas with moisture. In a short time, the natural function of his skin will be restored.

Please let me know how your son progresses and all the best to you Cookie.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
