Eczema

James, aged 2 had eczema in his knee and elbow creases since he was 18 months old. It was dry, flaky and very red, with deep cracks. His parents had used Hydrocortisone cream, which did clear it, but it kept returning when they stopped.

I suspected a food intolerance and suggested removing the foods from James' diet, along with a couple of child-friendly supplements. We also discussed his skin-care and I recommended a steroid-free cream to keep in case of flare-ups.

A month later, his elbows showed only two small spots in each crease. The skin was not so flaky or red. The next month James' left elbow was totally clear, and the right elbow and knees showed only a slight redness. He hadn't been scratching at all and had only had one flare-up. By the fourth month, James had no visible eczema.
