Re: Help for a parent of a small child with eczema

Hi,

I’m not sure if you heard of Hope’s Relief, Australia’s most potent and active eczema cream? Hope’s Relief has been formulated using 100% natural ingredients which has made it a favourite amongst mums. I work for the company and know that they are passionate about helping to treat baby eczema.

Up to twenty percent of children develop eczema under the age of five, however childhood eczema often disappears at about six years of age. Hope’s Relief eczema cream contains over 300mg of natural actives that stop the itch, soothe the skin and penetrate deep to help fight infection.
Unlike any other product created, this ground-breaking treatment for eczema goes beyond the barrier of the skin bringing rapid relief to eczema sufferers without the harsh side effects of cortisone treatments.

Hope’s Relief was formulated by Naturopaths using 35 years of research and knowledge. Anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, soothing and cell-regenerative qualities of Calendula, Licorice, Aloe Vera, Gotu Kola and Manuka Honey work together to provide tangible and lasting results.

There are also a number of ways in which you can cut down the possibility of triggering or aggravating the eczema.
The following is a quick checklist:

•Wear cotton next to the skin - this helps to reduce sweating which can be an irritant. Cut tags off clothing and wash before wearing. Synthetic or woollen clothes and bedding can cause over-heating.

•Bathe or shower in lukewarm water using soap-substitutes and mild shampoos.

•After bathing or showering, pat skin dry and apply a suitable all natural moisturiser like Hope’s Relief Therapeutic Cream.

•Use hypoallergenic products and avoid anything perfumed.

•Keep fingernails short to prevent scratching from breaking the skin and wear cotton mitts or gloves at night.

People with atopic eczema may be allergic to wool, dust, dust mites, grass seeds, pollens, feathers, animal fur and dander - keep pets outside and remove wool carpets.

•Use non-biological soap powders and detergents for clothes washing.

•Take antihistamines at night to aid in reducing the itchiness and help with sleep.

•Do not embark on a diet without consultation with your doctor or dietician. Food additives are the most likely to cause problems, particularly artificial colourings and preservatives .

•Over-heating, frosty weather, low humidity, dry air, central heating, air conditioning and car heaters can all aggravate dry skin and eczema. Use a humidifier in dry or heated rooms to keep the air moist.

•Get to know your own or your child's triggers. What sparks off one person's eczema doesn't necessarily trigger another's.

•The byword with eczema treatment is to act promptly. If it suddenly flares up, don't ignore it. Remember that eczema can become infected.

•Develop and maintain a skin routine which takes into account triggers and the best way of coping with flare-ups. Your health professional can assist with this.

•Children and adults, experience emotional stress which can play a large role in triggering a flare-up of eczema or aggravating the current condition. No one can get rid of stress in their lives, but we can learn how to handle it more effectively.
