eczema vs psoriasis

my daughter just turned 6, she inherited this from her dad. over here in the states, you can buy a cream called GOLD BOND ULTIMATE w/ aloe. this has worked really well on her skin. i feel for you. but the good news is, he out grew this, i'm hoping she will ,too. good luck!
The best thing for eczema is Manuka Honey which is a special type of honey that has incredible healing properties. Manuka Honey not only relieves the itching associated with eczema, but it also repairs dry and damaged skin and removes the dry blotches caused by eczema.





Manuka Honey has no side effects and can be used on wound, ring worm, arthritis, psoriasis and other skin conditions in addition to eczema. Even though honey should not be ingested by infants, there is no harm of using honey on the skin.
It would be great away from steroids or any chemical based interventions.





Wash in warm water with drops of lavender oil only.





Consider using all natural skin care such as the skin cream by http://www.saferalternative.com (see body care intensive body cream) there has been good feedback from other skin problems sufferers on this natural product.





Take a look in case you think these resources might hold useful advice - includes dietary info that can often be key to getting the skin right:

did you get the steroid cream from a doctor ? It has to be a low dose steroid cream. My daughter who is six months old has eczema I thought it was a hereditory thing because I have eczema but it turns out she has allergies and the way we found that out was the deremotologist kept noticing her scratch behind her ear and this along with the eczema is an indication of allergies. I would get your child to see a determotologist and set up an allergy test as well as this may be the same thing happening. My daughter was put onto a low dose steroid cream and we are stearing clear of what she is allergic too this really helped her eczema.
Just answered this elsewhere- - so this is more or less cut n paste


: For a natural product you can buy online.





This is as close to a success story as possible for eczema.





My daughter - had it at 2mo old and after trying many options, over a year - found an all-natural holistic product that reduced it down by about 80-90%.





While it didnt reduce as fast as the cort - or as fast as they say onsite , the flareups steadily decreased and never got worse. So everyitme, there was a flare, I would use it instead of the cort. And I never had to use the cort agn (1%, not a very severe case)





First, the itch went - in 2-3 applications which was the most amazing part, then the sores and wounds, and the thickened scars took the longest time to go. For the first time, she could wear skirts last summer and walk in the grass.





Even this winter, she had very minor flareups, and I dont recall using the product more than a few times.





Its called Surestop for eczema at www.Katuri.com





Provides fatty acids thru skin, builds immunity, makes the body heal from inside, etc.





Everybody reacts differently to different products, even if they are natural, but this is one thats good to try out. They mention 60-75% relief onsite.





They offer sample sizes and worked with me on allergies.





While she has started to get less irritated by many things she was severely irritated to (aveeno cream for one), it doesnt mean she is in a position to not use fragrance free, dye-free, etc items .


But there is hope...
