My 6 month Old Has Eczema

Hello,

My son has eczema on his face (cheeks, chin, behind ears), elbows, behind his knees, spots of it on his back and on his neck. I have been using cotisone but after reading this I'm stopping completely! I have been using it since he was three months old and I just want your suggestions on what I should be putting on it.

Thank you

Hello Zoraida,

I'm very glad that you have come across this very important information and are completely stopping the usage of the cortisone cream you have been using on your son. I am appalled at the number of doctors who continuously prescribe steroid creams and neglect to tell patients that there are proven, dangerous side effects! Not only this, but hydrocortisone and other potent steroid creams should only be used for SHORT TERM usage such as in days or a week or two. 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. The body will respond more readily with natural ingredients with long lasting results.

The products I would recommend for your son are: our FACE & BODY WASH which is a most gentle cleanser especially for such a young baby. In fact, we have had customers use this and our creams on their newborn babies with eczema psoriasis and other skin conditions. 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. For his elbows, behind his knees and back, I recommend using our MY DAUGHTER'S HAND & BODY THERACREAM. 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 has anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties as it relieves itching and repairs the skin rather quickly.

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

Warm Regards,
Nanette
