Eczema
I am posting because I don't know where else to go. I am overly exhausted by this monster.
My 1 year old suffers from eczema since she has been 6 months old. We do bleach baths 2-3x a week. We also do moisturizing and wet wraps Monday through Friday. I try to give her a break during the weekends but I'm finding the older she gets the more dry and hot she gets at night without the wet wrapping. So, we are now 7 nights a week and I'm so overloaded with the process that is beyond normal care for a child.
I have read so many articles, been to dermatologists and allergists and I'm sick and tired of all the prescriptions and over the counter products! I just want my child to comfortable in her own skin and be able to get a full nights rest without any itching. Not only are my husband and I not getting sleep but it hurts me that my child is going through this. So many questions why?!
One thing that has recently come to mind is when my daughter was born we decided to leave the vernix on her for 24 hours. I'm wondering, could this be part of the reason for her eczema? How many mother's have children with eczema that did or did not have their child washed immediately after giving birth.
Please give me your advice and experiences. You could be helping us out!!
