My kid have severe eczema at times and we had brought him to consult two skin specialists, one in Singapore and another one in JB. Most of the skin doctors somehow will prescribed the same medications which includes a steroid cream, though we were asked to use it for short term only. After reading about the negative effects of steroid, I was searching for a non-steroidal but effective products which includes supplements and nutrients. I stumble across Marine Elements body wash and intensive cream from online and thought of giving it a try.
From their website, Marine Elements™ is a range of natural, drug-free skincare products suitable for people of all age with sensitive skin to improve dry, irritating and inflamed conditions. It adds a protective barrier on the skin’s surface that seals the moisture in and keeps the allergens and irritants out, thus reduces the recurrence of dry and problem skin conditions.
Since the products helps in reducing redness, inflammation and itchiness which was present in my kid's condition , I guess this seems a good solution and alternative.i

His condition before using the products |
After one day, his skin seems clearer and less red. |
After 3 days of using, the lesions seems clearing and he also mentioned its less itchy, though there's still some degree of itchiness. |
Somehow, this is his 'peak' season and we have no choice but to continue to keep him moisturise, clean and keep him in cool places. We are still continuing the products and see if it's help with his fresh lesions. The good thing I like is this is a non-steroid product and it did helps.
Oh dear. Poor HernHern. Ethan has itchiness on his knees too sometimes. Dunno if it is eczema or not.
ReplyDeleteMerryn - He can do a test with a skin specialist , no blood test don't worry. My kid's case is season , he's ok at some months.
DeleteWaiyor!!! So serious. Probably needs medical attention, go see doctor.
ReplyDeleteSTP - already seen many specialists , including a professor in SG. But all of them almost prescribe the same meds and care.
