Eczema

by Bharti
(United States)

Hi Nanette,

My 5 month old daughter has eczema on her face and hands. I use hydrocortisone 1% for the last 2 months but she gets the rash back if I stop using it. I heard hydrocortisone makes the skin thinner so now I'm trying to avoid it but her skin is getting worse if i stop using it. Can you please tell me what to do?

Hello Bharti,

Avoiding the further use of hydrocortisone cream is very important as steroids produce harmful and devastating side effects especially in a child so young. These side effects can 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. I will give you my recommendation to help your baby's condition.

First, bath her with our FACE & BODY MOISTURIZING WASH which is a specially formulated mild cleanser that contains only herbal ingredients that are organically grown and hypo-allergenic and safe enough for baby's skin. This will begin to add moisture to her skin and soothe the skin layers. After bathing, gently pat her skin dry with a soft towel.

Next, rub in a small amount of our FACE & NECK THERACREAM which is specially formulated for the more delicate and thinner areas of the face and neck. At first, you can even add a bit of sterile water to her first few applications to thin the cream somewhat and gradually add less water until you are applying full strength. This cream is very soothing and has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties as it relieves itching and repairs the skin rather quickly.

For her hands, moisturize with our HAND & BODY THERACREAM as this is extremely important for her eczema treatment. This specially formulated cream will stop any itching while it is repairing and bringing balance back to her skin - restoring the normal function of the skin instead of just placating the symptoms. Remember that the most effective, specially formulated products are plant based, have a very rich emollient level and are loaded with nutrients.

Since our HAND & BODY THERACREAM is so very thick and rich, you can, again, choose to add a little sterile water to the cream before applying to your young daughter. You really will be amazed at how quickly these products work and the soothing effect it has immediately on the skin.

Please feel free to contact me with any other questions you may have and let me know how your little girl is progressing Bharti.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
