Mother Finds Relief for Son's Severe Eczema: "He Could Only Cry and Scratch All Night"

As a parent, there's nothing worse than watching your child struggle with a bothersome, painful condition—and feeling powerless against it. This was the reality for Debbie Madeline Saunders from the USA, whose six-year-old son, Tyler, endured severe pain all over his body due to acute eczema. "We discovered the condition when Tyler was eight months old, but as time went on, it only got worse," Debbie shares.

Due to the sores on his skin, six-year-old Tyler couldn't sleep, play, or even attend kindergarten. The pain was too intense and distracting for him to focus on anything else. "He cried day and night, and I found myself going to the clinic almost daily, begging doctors for something to soothe him. Not a day went by without me crying with him as he screamed and suffered unimaginable agony, but the medical response was more limited than I had thought."

Then, one day Debbie stumbled upon a post by a dermatologist from South Africa, Dr. Richard Aron, who sells a special cream for eczema problems for $35. "I was very skeptical, but I had nothing left to lose. I bought the cream, knowing I would probably regret wasting the money."

But surprisingly, she didn’t regret it. The reason: within just a month of Tyler starting to use the cream, the sores on his skin began to dry up. "I was shocked by the rapid progress we made," says Debbie. "Within just three months, Tyler's whole body was clear, with no sign of the terrible eczema. Looking back, I can't understand how we lived without it."

She says that alongside the medical cream given by Dr. Aron, the focus was on other tips, which are as follows:

Some tips for integrated treatment of the condition:

1. Apply moisturizer frequently to the skin, and calendula oil is very effective and helps with itching due to the condition.

2. It is recommended to apply moisturizer after bathing, adding a few drops of essential lavender or chamomile oil, and thoroughly absorption the cream into the skin. This will ensure the skin stays moist for a longer time, and therefore, it will itch less.

3. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet.

4. Drink herbal teas that strengthen the immune system.

5. Avoid bad habits such as smoking, lack of exercise, consumption of junk food, and drinking alcohol.

6. Avoid scented creams or products (food, cosmetics, and others) that contain preservatives.

7. Ventilate the house daily and keep it free from dust mites, which are known to exacerbate eczema.
