My girls 14mths and 3years suffers from Ecezma so bad that the skin bled from the constant scratching. They have seen the best Doctor in our country and was given steroidal cream Fortocort. I noticed the skin improved but weeks later flare up again n became worse. I heard from friends boiled water and soaked Bittergourd was good so I took the effort to make sure all their bath water are cooked with bittergourd... there was small improvement though but I was just wondering is there any other way around to cure this terrible condition.

I have an ecezma cream for babies that seems to work well. Another thing to try is extra virgin olive oil. Just rub it into the skin, it really works.
Another thing that really helps me is to have humidifiers in my house.

Get rid of any common allergens in the house, change their diet, and try beuxdreuxs butt cream. It may be for behinds but it works wonders on all sorts of rashes and may atleast provide some comfort for the poor dears. But since both of them have it I suggest trying another detergent, changing the sheets to pure cotton, and eliminating feather pillows or anything like that. Diet can play a big factor. You need to go very basic in their diet for a bit such as a simple foods such as lentils and rice then slowly reintroduce things to see what causes the reactions.

Don't scratch!
Try creams with oatmeal in them- some say it helps.
Wet dressings help to cool and bring down the redness- google them.
Check their food intake to remove allergens- big trigger. Check clothes for itchy fabric/labels. Use a hypoallergenic moisturiser and soap-free body wash. Consult an eczema nurse if available.
Eczema seldom goes away completely but can be controlled.

I'm sorry but there is no cure. Keep your doctor appointments and know there are alternatives to steroidal creams. He//She might consider a change if things haven't improved. May things improve.

Hi,
Would you be interested in another natural way to get rid of your babies' ecezema.
I am a detox specialist and teach people how to get rid of their health challenges using natural ways.
I have many friends whose children get rid of their ecezema after they took some natural health foods that I recommended them.
These health foods are consumable by pregnant women and babies and 100% safe as I was consuming them when I was pregnant and my son started consuming them as soon as he was born! ;)
Usually, ecezma is associated in a weakness in the liver. These health foods help the liver to do its work properly and also helps it to rejuevenate itself.
So what do you think? ;)
If you are keen to find out more, you can email me at verityy@yahoo.com.
