No cure for eczema

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Some friends of mine whose kids suffer from eczema have asked if I know of any effective eczema treatment. What I've learned thus far is that there really is no cure for eczema once it develops.

It is unfortunate that my little boy developed slight eczema when he was just a month old. But the doctor prescribed him some cream called Elomet which works wonders for him.

However, we still have to monitor his condition very closely so that it doesn't get any worse. My hope is that it goes away with careful monitoring and mangement of his condition. I heard that if by the age of 4, children who have skin problems that don't go away will most likely have eczema for life.

That's so sad isn't it?
