Hypo-pigmentation

by Taryn O'Connor

Hello,

I have a son who has had on and off eczema since he was born. He is now 19 months and has had a big break out. I used to relate it to teething but I am now in the middle of doing a food test to see if he is allergic to dairy/wheat.

My question is we have been using a cortisone cream (sparingly) and now he seems to have hypo-pigmentation. I am wondering if it will go away? We have spent a little time in the sun and he has a little tan so I thought it may be where the eczema and cream may have renewed itself.

What are your thoughts? Thanks - Taryn

Hello Taryn,

I completely understand how challenging this situation can be. It's wise of you to have your son tested for certain food allergies so as to eliminate those possibilities.

You mentioned using cortisone cream sparingly for his eczema and as long as you continue to use it, it will produce unwanted side effects such as the hypo-pigmentation. You see, all forms of steroid creams produce potential side effects and health hazards. Some of 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. My strong recommendation is to not use these creams at all! To help your son's skin recover from eczema and the damage from steroid use you must use natural, healing products only. Given the proper tools, the body will respond to wholesome, health building ingredients.

I strongly recommend the following: First use our FACE & BODY MOISTURIZING WASH which is a "non-soap" cleanser and provides a gentle but thorough cleansing but does not strip the skin of it's natural PH. It will begin the repair process deep down that your son's skin needs. Next for all over body use, apply our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM twice daily. These amazing creams have the capability to penetrate the 7 layers of skin and unpack damaged cells, relieve itching and supply moisture and nutrients to repair and rebuild healthy, balanced skin. Remember, the body responds to health building ingredients!

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

Warm Regards,
Nanette
