Eczema - what a struggle day & night
My son was born with a peaches and cream complexion.
After two months he was diagnosed firstly with seborrhoeic dermatitis - eczema affecting the scalp then he started developing red patchy dry skin on his face then all over his body.
We visited pediatricians, dermatologists, naturopaths, osteopaths, nutritionists, homeopaths and immunologists to get a proper diagnosis for my son's health.
For the first few years we were constantly confused by the health professionals' contradictory advice.
Give your child all foods!
Avoid all foods containing his allergens !
Don't give your child foods high in salicylates!
Use steroids!
Don't use steroids!
Stop red meat completely!
My son was reacting to everything we gave him it was endless torture for him to be continually itchy and red and inflamed and for us as parents to feel absolutely helpless and watch him suffer!!
Finally a popular dermatologist in Sydney, Australia, Gayle Fischer came to our rescue....she was an angel in disguise and guided our son to a pathway of good health.
In combination with aqueous cream steroids and wet bandaging my son's eczema was under control on his face and body.
Using Ayurvedic (Indian herbal) hair oil with the ingredient bhringraj my son's scalp cleared up and he soon had a head full of hair!
His food allergies were tested via blood tests and were confirmed.
We soon moved to Singapore and my son was seen by pediatric dermatologist Dr Henry Low at the KK Women's and Children's Hospital. Dr Low had the right balance to be aggressive in his treatment of my son's eczema and other related flare ups and have a kind, caring, patient and sensitive ear to our needs.
Suddenly, although it was like entering a dark endless tunnel of confusion and mystery we did see some light at the end of the road!
Today my son's eczema is under control thank god!
Thankyou to two very special brilliant dermatologists !
