It will be recommendated to check if your son is allergic to a food or another thing (dust, pet dander, cigarette smoke , etc). Maybe his eczema has an allergic cause.

It says its an all-natural product and generally relieves 60-75% but maybe it worked better on her than for others, I dont know, All I know is that I stopped using the hydrocortisone and scars on her legs thinned out and have faded.

While it didnt seem to work as quick as they say onsite, it did work really well- It could be because she never was a very
severe case? (just terrible enough for the steroids ). The outbursts all became smaller after about a week or 2 and now- she’s 2- I use it only when she itches

Every cell in the body (skin included) has a membrane layer. If your entire body was a single cell, your skin would be the membrane. This membrane of every cell is made of fatty acids (and proteins – but that part is not vital in your case). To have excellent cell membrane integrity you need to have a excellent source of fatty acids to have a regular up-keep of this membrane. Therefore, if you have a regular diet of omega-3-fatty acids you will have excellent cellular membrane integrity. THIS INCLUDES the skin cells that dry out when cellular membrane ingerity is comprimized. When comprimised it dries out and flakes off – eczema.

Sources of omega-3-fatty acids include salmon, cod, tuna and other fishes. Olive oil, flax seed oil are other oil based sources.

Lotions do not help moisturize the skin, it really prevents moisture from entering the skin by making a “fake” barrier between the environment and the skin. Get him on a excellent diet and the eczema should clear up within a month or so.

As for one year olds, you can also use olive oil (a small dab). It should offer some relief, but over time it will soften the skin so you would also rub butter, yes butter, on the skin to give it the harder oils to protect the cellular membrane.
