15mth with Serious Eczema

A community nurse in Australia suggested I wash my baby's clothes with hot water adding a capful of vinegar (clear), this is a substitute for using detergent.
 


Anyone tried E45 cream? I heard this is commonly recommended by UK hospitals for eczema. I have never seen this cream in Singapore
 
Hi all mummies, many thanks for sharing your experience. My DD ezcema improves alot now. I did not do anything special but continue to moisture her with Cetaphil cream and shower w CB shampoo bodywash. What I did was I happen to past by Unity 1 day and not sure why I went in to seek the pharmist help and he was very kind and assured me tt steriod is the best to clear up the inflammed skin and it has reli no harm to my girl coz it's only 1%. Of course not recommended for continuous long term use. It will thin the skin. I took his advise and applied his recommended steriod for three days & my girl rashes was all clear! Thank God! It muz be Him tt guide me to the pharmist. Oh, my girl is also on TCM medication. The doc recommends tt my girl takes pearl powder coz it helps in her skin. But it's costly. $10 per capsule. If my DD can be free from the angry rashes, I dun mind paying :) I praying & hoping she will outgrow it.
 
Hi,

Have anyone heard of Nefful Teviron? It is a fiber (orginated from Japan) that can produce negative ions that can purifies the blood by regulating pH balance, rejuvenates cells, enhances immune system, regulates autonomic nerves and lessen aches and pains.So far, testimonials have proven that people who encountered severe eczema has found a treat to it by wearing Teviron fabrics.

A friend of mine who grandson, is also suffering from eczema since young, had turned his condition better by wearing the Teviron gloves only for 24hrs everyday for 1 week. Initially, like any housewife, she thought it was a scam because of the cosy price. Taking consideration that medical fees can be high in a long run and heartpain to see her grandson who can't stop scratching at most of the time, she decided to give it a try. Miraclely, it works. Her grandson is still using the gloves now and no more medication.

If you are interested to know more, just p.m me at [email protected].
 
Hi itlc,

Glad to hear that yr gal is getting better, do continue yr gal on chinese medicine as it really help with eczema. However, I am surprised that yr doc recommend yr gal to take pearl powder as it's quite cooling and not recommended to take long term for kids, which can weaken their health. That's what my chinese doc says, and she did not recommend it for my son's rashes, his skin is quite dry too.

For rashes or eczema, it can get worse when the weather is terribly hot, so do take extra care during this period. Btw, pls pm me yr chinese doc contact. Thanks.
 
<font color="0000ff">ITLC,

hmm not to scare you.. but i heard pearl does contains something bad. cant rem if its mecury.. ??.. just like when we're pregnant, we cant take stingrays this kinda fish as they do somehw haf mercury..
so i never believe in givin pearl powder to my baby... nt at all...

Yes i also rely on steriods.. applying alternalt days after the ezcema clears up.
But i realise if i stop steriod for more than 4 days (even i apply lots of lotion), ezcema still breaks out..

MumMy Kian, eczema is very troublesome 'illness' especially the fact that it's not cureable.

Both my daughters have them. They use steriod once every 1 week to 10 days, conditions considerably improved when I watch their diet and put them on soy milk
 
my dd also has ezcema on both his upper and lower limbs. dertmalogist gt glen prescribe antibiotics and zytrec but i really dont want to give him any oral med. any mummies has similar experience with oral med??

i brought him to chinse sinseh, he also wanted to perscribe oral med!!
 
<font color="darkmagenta"><font size="-1"> Dear mummies,

I can understand your anxiety in treating ezcema. Have you consider of leting your child to wear Teviron which contain negative ions. This fabric has actually helps many adults and children in their health problems and some even controlled. No longer needed medication for a long time. Besides, according to sciencific report, babies are born with 80% of negative ions at birth.

Other than Teviron, you may also find negative ions in our aircon / fridge / air purifier / washing machine etc. Negative ions generator are also been used in hospital for their insolation room to purify the air for patient who are in their critical stage.

Do consider this,sometimes even though the price of products is steep,if it can cure your or their ailments which currently modern medicine provides no help at it, Teviron gives us another ultimate option. If money can buy health,i think this is the product you should consider to go for. :p

Mummies,
How old are your children? My child is also a ezcema sufferer. Most of the time, I heard kids can outgrow this when they are 3. My dd is turning 3 and still constantly having this issue.
 
Humblebee,

<font size="+1"> outgrown ? </font> ....... not tt i knw of !

My son turng 4 in JUne ....... myself has asthma since 10 &amp; son has inherited both asthma &amp; eczema since birth ....... was told by both TCM sinseh &amp; Dr Lynette Shek of NUH tt dietary plays veri important role in our daily consumptions !
 
<font color="darkmagenta"><font size="-1"> Dear mummies,

it is sad to hear that children at young age suffered from eczema and asthma. They are innocent angels and the gift from our god. I am sharing here because I have seen many testimonials which proves the effectiveness of Teviron on many adult and children. </font></font>
 
Hi Humble bee.. my son has eczema too.. he is currently going to be 7 mths old.. the stoopid hot weather is certainly not helping us..
sad.gif

i am hoping for the best la.. haiz
 
SINGAPORE <font size="+1"> HUMID weather </font> stirring troubles ......

since we're citizens @ birth for donkey years, no choice to accept if move to 4 seasons' countries .........

Dr Shek told me to ONLY bath my son twice a day ( once with SebaMed Bath &amp; the other bathing with running lukewarm tap water ) . After bath, apply QV cream to have his skin moisturized ...... take Atarax ( oral eczema medicine ) @ nite as to reduce to intake coz' tis medicine is meant for adults !

Boh pian .........
 
I tried physiogel for my son but it didn't work. went back to using hospigel, which improves the situation greatly. Not sure where to buy that, so far only my son's pd clinic sells it.

had used hydroderm before, but just ok
desowen is stronger and better. i just have to apply once or twice and the rashes are gone.

my son will probably continue with this, since i have eczema myself, especially on the soles of my feet. I find that when I'm stressed, it flares up. I also realised that certain materials of shoes will worsen the problem, especially rubber and high heels. Wrapping up is not a solution. It worsens it.

Interestingly enough, I was told by my PD to stop taking eggs, and diary products since I was breastfeeding my son. My eczema actually improved! Plus my skin doesn't itch much. So perhaps if you are still breastfeeding you child, you may want to cut that out. Also, if your child is older, you may want to cut that out to see whether it helps.

Moving to colder countries will help in eczmea. However, it was replaced by another type of itch that is so much worse. So, I think weather only shifts the type of effect from eczema, but doesn't cure it.
 
glass,

i saw KKH pharmacy sol hospigel but dunno ezit the same product of yours ?

we travelled to tokyo in nov 2008 for 8D7N, came back my son's eczema was wonderful and lasted till 2009 humid weather comes ! last year didn't travel to tokyo as I was on IVF but went to BKK in Sept.......though bangkok is HOT, we were SURPRISED tt his eczema DIDN'T FLARE !!!

Well Singapore is HUMID HOT from the ground unlike bangkok is HOT from the sky !
 
Is hospigel a wash or lotion? Can get from normal pharmacy?

Singapore is reallly hot these days so ezcema keep flaring up. Poor kids.
 
hmmm,
just stumble across this topic...

my boy has ezcema skin...

i am using seba med bath and physiogel AI cream for him after his bath...

dosewen is for the itcy rash and after that must apply a moisturizer to keep the skin moist...

hospigel is a wash or lotion?
if its the wash....
guardian or watsons or unity should be selling cos i preggy time given a wash namely hospigel to bath(cos got rash)...
 
I have 3 tubs of QV cremam (250 g) bought at National skin centre pharmacy. Expiry Jan 2012. Retail price at Guardian is about $20. I am letting go at $14 per tub. If you are taking 3 tubs together, i will let go at $40. Let me know if anyone is interested
 
physiogel is the only one effective for my boy. I had tried canlendula cream, QV, cetaphil, egyptian magic cream, Eucerin, etc etc. Only physiogel can keep his eczema under control.

For bathing, I also cannot save cost by using those common brands like J&amp;J. Must use brands such as latacyd, sebamed.
 
Hi

I agree with Cindy, only Physiogel (cream for face and lotion for body) is gonna work. My gal has ezema at 3mths, she's now 5yrs. Nothing works, we've tried everything. Only thing that works:

1) bathing with QV Oil (pour some into tub of water, becomes milky) don't rinse off, just pat child dry with towel (don't rub her dry, aggravates eczema)
2) always apply physiogel after bath, all over, especially face, neck, wrists (can be bad from over washing of hands cos we are all now so paranoid with hfmd etc), trunk of body, behind knee/elbow).
3) for the particularly bad patches (red and sore), thin layer of steriod (Elomet) works, other mild steriods like hydrocortison usually don't work.

Hope that helps

Katz,

Seems that your gal eczema is really bad.. must be terrible for your gal..

Are you seeing any PD?

My three boys are suffering from eczema too and just realise my eldest got asthmatic..

Seen so many doctors and PD but useless until we turn to Dr Jenny Tang from Gleneagles SBCC Clinic.

She is good .. will rec a prick test for baby if necessary.. expensive though.

Any mummies keen can google or yahoo search her also.

So far she has stopped me from giving my boys steriods and told me the side effects etc... she mention if child has eczema never to change products regularly.. cant remember why but for a reason also, i stick to Physiogel shower cream, AI Cream, Intensive Cream, Physiogel cream and Physiogel Lotion.

Really apply dilligently for the trios and it did helped.. except for my eldest who has asthma, need more control to prevent flaring up..
 
My boy had ezema,
Then I start to use California Baby botanical calming moisturizer and changes his Shampoo / body wash to California Baby too. The eczema never came back although he does have occasional heat rash during very hot weather.
 
Mummies,
Physiogel cream now on promotion at Unity for $18.30. It cost abt $21+ at Skin Centre.
 
Hi, I agree with Katz's treatment. My 4-year old girl has serious eczema outbreaks since she is 2 weeks old. I have been to dermatologists in four countries, done the allergy blood tests, tried homeopathy with no good results.

Using qv bath oil, followed by physiogel or intensive cetaphil cream keeps it under control. I just started Chinese medication with her. Hoping to see the skin clear but the doc says a minimum of six months to see results. Crossing my fingers now.
 
Haze HITz the TOWN !!!

myself &amp; son's eczema gg WORST everyday

Hi dears

My ger got eczema at 18 m n it was terrible to see her beautiful baby skin turn inflammed.. I was also worried it wld turn lichenfied if it continues etc . I spend everyday finding out the cure for it n wondering abt the cause

I m v glad if my posting can help Any more bb put there

My baby was cured hopefully for good ! In 3 m

I rejected the use of chemical drugs, I believe in natural treatments for bb

I tried oatmeal, Indian ayuthedvic, homeopathic creams, calendula, etc , hope cream , etc etc etc

I din see tcm cos I din kn any good ones

I found something that finally worked

U see the prob w the creams- if it doesn't work the skin actually become worse

If it worked good for awhile then the skin becomes immune to it n u need something stronger

I read up on many other parents experience n realize it is a combination of things n there is no one perfect cure cos everyone skin n immunity n cause is diff

But there is a widely practiced method that helped a lot of kids n it helped mine too

It is dead sea salt bath

It returns the balance to the skin, remoisturise it, gets rid of bacteria etc

My ger does not get soap on her anymore except her bum n her hands

I use not even shampoo

Just dead sea salt in bath water

I researched where to get pure ones in sg not easy to find

I got mine from ahava

It's not cheap but it's the best thing for my bb skin

N I had to see hw much to use

Too much not gd also

It's one teaspoon to a bathtub

N how long becos too long dries it out

Some say ten min some five

I think once bb start scratching in water it's too long so a while before that

Once out of the water apply a simple very basic moisturizing cream. My calendula cream worked after all

But I realized the trick is a thin layer

Not a thick one that clogged the pore n make it more angry

N v v impt need to cut the cycle of scratching

I researched stores for eczema babies

Yes they got special hand gloves etc

In the end I got pants w booties n it's good enuf Cos hers is behind knees

So when she scratch she don't hurt skin as much as if she is not wearing the pants

Gtg
 
My son, 8 year old got serious eczema past three months. tried physiogel A1 cream; washed with isoderm shower cream, bot from GP clinic, still no improvement.FINALLY, I found someone who is very very good - Dr. John Chiam Medical Clinic, at blk 21 Ghim MohRoad tel:6763 3811. My son eczema disppear within 5 days, after applied 2 medicated cream + 2 types of moisturizer from the clinic. It works very well, I am relieve !! I will bring my son back to the clinic this Saturday for review..
 
Doctors do not know the exact cause of eczema, but a defect of the skin that impairs its function as a barrier, possibly combined with an abnormal function of the immune system, are believed to be important factors.

All medical creams and medicines are only a temporary solution to a medical problem. To resolve it, start with balancing the body immune system.

If you are keen to know, please PM me.
 
Yes, not all doctors <font size="+2"> DO KNOW </font> d underlining problems causing d eczema unless d doctors r specialist in tis field!

Even supplements from all brandings inclusive <font size="+1">MLM - multi level managements </font> may not able to cure for long term if can cure then doctors can <font size="+2"> retired </font> liao.

Many illness western doctor cannot find a solution. But when people try TCM, alternative natural treatment or health supplement, their problem solved. This is very true.

Do not believe what the doctor tell you.

I got doctor told me and friends wrong information. I have wasted a lot of money seeing him, feeding his family. My friends also have similar experiences.

Trust me, they are specialists. No wonder specialists now begin sued by patients.

Here the debate is not to argue who is right. I quote a good quotation. A cat, regardless of black or white, as long able to catch a mice, it is considered a good cat.
 
Home cats or stray cats living in 21st century dunno how to catch mice except Tom And Jerry

Many people sure have unpleasant experiences with medical team in western &amp; chinese still when oneself is unwell, doctor will come to the rescue.

Besides medical teams r involved, daily diet still plays important role !!!

Everyone have cancer cells in our body system if dun eat healthyly then d explosive comes .........
 
I am totally agreed diet plays an important role. That was the message I tried to convey. To resolve health issue, start with balancing the body immune system which involves diets.

And talking about cancer, yes, everybody has cancer cells. Do you know why you and I are still healthy despite got cancer cells produce daily? Well, I got the answer.

Do you know what kinds of nutrients your body need to prevent cancer? It is not vitamins or minerals. I also have the answer.

Do you know diet play important part in chemotherapy? I have friends experienced less side effect compare to those never taken any supplement. Chemotherapy is not fun to have it. I know many cancer patients and their suffering has motivating me to be more health conscious and helping others to get back their health.

As this forum is focusing on Eczema, I will not talk on cancer in this forum. If you know any cancer patients, you can PM me.

I have a friend got serious Eczema but after taking some health supplement, his condition improved a lot. I got the photo taken before he started with some health supplement. Anybody interested to view the photos, please PM me. But I must warn you that the photos may cause discomfort to you. His conditions are very serious.

In summary, 99% of health problems, including Eczema, are caused by malfunction of immune system. Please PM me if anyone wants to know how to improve a human immune system.
 
By wearing negative ions clothing, it can make us healthy, may sound ridiculous, but what if is true? Do you know life has been changed enormously nowadays? You are worry about taking health supplements that may have side effects and you must also pay attention to the expiry date of the health food products and perhaps it's not cheap.

I would like to share with you that my prolonged waist pain and headache were relieved in July 2010 after 3 days wearing Teviron or Nefflon clothing(including Nefflon Head Cover, undershirt, briefs, underpants, socks, knee support, wrist bands), no relapse occured till now, my high blood pressure reduced from 140/92 to average 110/75 mmHG(Optimal level) and also my urticarial rash which further transformed to eczema was disappeared.

According to the research done by Japanese scientists, Negative Ions are electrically charged particles that float in the air around us all the time. The amount of positive ions versus negative ions in new-born babies are 20 percent to 80 percent. This is believed to be the best ratio for all human beings. However, as the years go by, as well as environmental changes, pollution, harmful chemicals, electromagnetic waves; negative ions in our body start to decrease and the positive ions start to increase in the body. This causes the blood to be more coagulated in our body, making our blood more acidic in nature. The absorption of nutrients and release of waste material is less efficient, causing our metabolism to slow down. Our body functions start to slow down. The negative ion depletion is the reason why there are so many mental &amp; physical health problems. How long do we have these problems plague with us? How much do you and your family worry about due to this health problem?

HI,
I want to share that I have been suffering a year-long of water blister eczema. You can visit my thread title Water Blister Eczema to know my sufferings...

I hope the attacks are clearing up. Today, is my first day finally able to step out from my house to send my child to school and walk to nearby shopping centre.

I have been experimenting many types of products, herbs, moisturisers...Finally, able to deduce few are useful, if you willing to try..These are Theraneem Pure Neem Oil, Herbapeutic HimalayanNeem and Herbs (Herbwashand Faciherbs), Pure Olive Oil, Johnson Mineral Oil and other moisturisers (not QV..)

First, we need to clear our skin from red spots and blisters before we can put moisturisers,else it is really a big waste of effort, mental tiredness and pain, agony..

Btw, I still have excess stocks (cos I overstock them..) If you are game enough to try this alternative, you can buy from me at cost price (I am not charging extra) :-

I have brand new unopened Theraneem pure neem oil to sell at $26. I will keep a bottle and willing to sell the 2nd bottle

I have also an unopened brand new Herbapeutic Faciherbs contain himalayan neem and herbs. Selling at $35. I use herbwash for body and skin now.

The above two products are good to reduce inflammation and heal skin problem as well as clear red spots fast.

I am willing to share and sell to people who believes in neem and himalayan herbs.

These products has cleared my chronic eczema redness..so, ready to sell the excess stocks.

Now, I can finally use moisturiser without any allergic reaction or endless eczema attacks, after this super power of need and Himalayan herbs helped to reduce my swellness, red spots, etc.
 
In addition to above natural help via NEEM and Himalayan Herbs - I have finally give myself a chance to buy SUMMIT brand (SUMMIT ION Apparels and Compression Socks). I will invest on an ION Mattress too. I have to wake up from going round and round the endless cycle of eczema attacks. I decided to invest on SUMMIT ION Apparels and SUMMIT ION Mattrress as I must get well to go back to workforce. I can't be like an handicapped unable to walk due to the eczema blisters. I hope my investment this time is correct..
 
All the best babakba for the pursuit of great eczema management! My younger son was diagnosed with severe eczema at 2 weeks old. His diet was much more restricted than my elder son. Neocate LCP HA for milk, I bf so no nuts, no seafood (except fish), no eggs and no milk for myself. He's on Cetaphil moisturizer and bath lotion cum Moogoo irritable skin balm. Previously he was on Bactroban antiviral cream for weeping eczema and Desowen steroid. I suspect the steroid caused his skin to darken so have weaned him off that.

The Moogoo cream worked wonders for his hotspots except the biggest one on his right foot which no cream can work until a chance recommendation from a friend who asks me to visit Dr John Chiam at around Dover estate. He prescribed small doses of emu cream, catrix cream at set timings and cleared that until baby smooth till now. My younger son is turning 16 months and has no allergic flareups since. Hope that last!
 
yes, we adults also complain extreme pain and itchy..what more kids and babies..really can feel for them..what is catrix cream made of? how much is moogoo cream - this cream has yet to be explored by me yet..to us eczema sufferer - anything can stop itch is all we hope for..
 
All medical creams and medicines are only a temporary solution to a medical problem. To resolve it, start with balancing the body immune system.

You may think the cream or medication has solved eczema. In fact, it maybe your immnune system has strenghened or the cause has been eliminated it. It is definitely not the cream or medicine you take has cured your eczema.

No doctor will tell you his cream or medicine can cure eczema.
 
Steroids does not cure eczema. In fact it makes my eczema worse with full blown..it was the himalayan herbwash that clear off the redness almost instantly.
 
Hi babakba, i'm sorry but i don't know what constitutes catrix cream, nor emu cream for that manner. The tube came with just instructions on what time to apply. But dr did say these are free of steroids and allergens. The Moogoo cream is bought online via www.moogoo.com.my cost abt Rm 50 per tube incl shipping. I hope it works for you.

Hi Winston, all us eczema sufferers know that there is no cure for eczema. Hence my wish for babakba to have great eczema management. Eczema is more likely to be due to allergies and my take is to eliminate known allergens that aggravate the condition. I for 1 can't take prawns nor wash with harsh detergents. The condition did get better as me and my son grew older and more aware of our limitations. No doctor can claim their med to be the best despite their intellect. If they are, all of us won't need to grow old. I'm just sharing my doctor's name as i thought it can help likeminded sufferers achieve a better quality of life, not fatten the doc's wallet. Thanks for your remarks though, just my 2 cents.
 
Thanks, luvagape.

To anyone,
I wish to share too, to those thinking of going thru non-steroid management cure. The other avenue that one of my friends who suffered eczema full blown since teenager. Hospitalised many times due to swelling,etc.

She is now seeking NAET treatment with a private dermatologist in Jurong, Dr Diana Tan ( the only doc who believes in naet as she was eczema sufferer). My friend has cleared off many allergens through naet n cond so much improved. I can't afford the treatment, costly.

So, i resort himalayan neem herbwash, pure neem oil, and all the experiments of oils and moisturisers. My method takes long but still reach its destination vs naet.

If anyone can afford naet, pls go to her. 1st consultation $200, follow by many visits of $90 per visit to clear u from allergens via accu-pressure point ,etc of NAET method.

Go surf more info on Naet to understand more.
 


My friend whose allergies are clearing up via naet told me she can now free to eat back the food that was supposed to be allergy to her. Naet treatment has make her a happy person now.

For me who goes through himalayan herbs and other mentioned methods, i finally can sleep well for these past 5 days without having to wake up to scratch the itch.
