I have been wanting to write down and record some simple tips on managing Eczema.
My girl had full blown eczema on her body after i went to a chinese doctor when she was 1.5 yrs. In the hope that she will get out of it total it became full blown. It was something thta till now i felt so bad about putting her through the whole ordeal.
Initially, she had redness only on her creases but after seeing that horrible chinese sinseh .... the eczema became full blown with broken skin all over the body.
Sleeping at night became a huge problem to the point that i have problem sleeping having to stop my girl form scratching and crying.
We even went to the extend of putting on bandage for her upp and lower limb so as to prevent her from scratching.
I had since found the correct doctor to treat my girl and she had been seen for about 1 yr and she has indeed improve to the point of being under control with no redness but occasional dryness.
Having learnt so much about eczema, i have decided to share and add to this body of knowledge. This knowledge came mainly from both chinese and western perspective.
One of the best thing that can helped with sleeping at night is the use of a special pyjamas.
It was a life saver for me as it was almost impossible to keep changing and buying bandage when the wound is weepy.
Through my search in internet i found this company
"Pure cotton comfort" with special eczema clothing.
Its made of pure cotton with mitten like design for the hands and a special reinforcement on the elbow to wrist and back of knee to feet which prevent contact on the creases.
The 2 piece design also prevented my girl from scratching her tummy or back.
They provided worldwide delivery. I cannot say its the cheapest clothes around but its definitely worthwhile as my girl was able to sleep through without crying.
That to me was the biggest relief!!
