all over rash

Looks like an all over rash this time. He has the worst spots on his neck and lower back. He has been running naked for 2 days b/c he can’t stand clothing on his skin. It’s a shame…poor baby has such an itch going. It is kept to a minimum with the psorzema and cocoa [...]

heat rash & eczema

His heat rash has begun in a more severe way. A few days ago I noticed a pink prickly looking rash near his neck. He kept scratching at it. Then I showed it to my mother who said it looked like heat rash. I compared it to his father’s and his grandfather’s and low and [...]

new home, new problems

I have found that my son’s eczema really does react to water quality. Since moving, we have had to switch from the hard city water to spring water. It has made all the difference in the world! He had a huge outbreak from his buttocks down the backs of his legs, his neck, a few [...]

mild winter helps us out

I am glad that our winter has been mostly devoid of winter weather. He only has pea sized patches of eczema on his thighs right now. We still have to buy some more Psorzema, but for now he is alright. I am glad that he is doing so well.

Progress!

Since my last entry, we have barely had any flare ups. His legs are close to normal color and with a minimal amount of raised bumps. He hasn’t been scratching at all. He is doing so well! I cannot believe how much better he has been. We have cut salt and all casein products in [...]

breaking out a bit

So with the change in season he is beginning to break out some again. He has begun to scratch his legs and inner arm. As long as I keep on top of it, he is fine. I just have to continuously watch him. I am using the Psorzema followed by the Eucerin. I have begun [...]

update on status

Looks like we have conquered the eczema beast! He still has some heat rash and some itching. Mostly we have no problems .. we barely use the lotion now. It’s amazing! We will continue with magnesium about every other day. Hope to be getting flaxseed oil soon. Still using the apple cider vinegar, especially in [...]

magnesium day 12, 13

Yes we missed another dose yesterday….dang it! I was here, but I was in a meeting and his father didn’t know that I didn’t give him the dose so there you go. Totally refuse to miss it today. He is still in remissive stages of the eczema and heat rash at this point. Very few [...]

Magnesium day 10, 11

Yesterday was day 10. He missed his dose again because we were out. I cannot take the magnesium with us as it has to be refridgerated. He experienced hardly any itching at all yesterday. I only had to put lotion on him right after his shower. Today (Day 11) his rashes are all inverted. He [...]

magnesium day 9

Ok so today he started out not having a movement for nearly 24 hours. Now, he has water diarrhea. He broke out in a few hives on his stomach today for no apparent reason… I knew that the diarrhea would come soon. Hours later I heard that telltale growl in his bowel…. eww that rhymed. [...]
