My 1 Year Old Son Has Eczema On His Face

(West Covina, Ca)

My 1 year old has had eczema on his face for the past 6 months. I started by using Aveno 1% hydrocortizone. It worked at first but just made it worse after about a week of using it. I have bathed him in non fragrance soaps and oatmeal baths and that hasn't worked. I also switched to non fragrance detergent and double rinsed his clothes. I recently bought Eucerin, Aquaphor and that has kind of maintained the redness but the eczema is still there. I have run out of options and would really like your recommendations. My son wakes up miserable every day itching and rubbing his face and it is really taking a toll on me and my wife. I am really interested in your products and would like if you can get back to me as soon as possible with your recommendations. Thank you!

Hello Gabriel,

It would be my privilege to assist you with my recommendations. Regarding the use of hydrocortisone, unfortunately most doctors do not inform parents of the many risks and side effects of using steroid creams. I am so glad that you stopped using hydrocortisone on your son when you did but for so many others who have used this dangerous drug for not only months but years, now suffer from its use. Side effects 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 highly praise you for seeking a natural alternative to help your son's eczema. This will make a huge difference in his recovery.

You mentioned using products such as Eucerin, Aveeno 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 my recommendation Gabriel:

First, bath your son 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 his skin and soothe the skin layers. After bathing, gently pat his skin dry with a soft towel.

Then moisturize with our FACE & NECK THERACREAM as this is extremely important for his eczema treatment. This specially formulated cream will stop any itching while repairing and bringing balance back to his 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.

At first, you can even add a bit of sterile water to his 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 will quickly reduce any redness and inflammation.

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

Warm Regards,
Nanette
