Libby - Follow-up Question....

[Guest guest]

Hi Libby - I forgot to ask you on the previous post, did you apply any

type of anti-itch ointment to your son's skin to alleviate the itch?

If so, any that you can recommend would be very helpful?

Thanks,

Martha

Not Libby, but I've been getting some itchy rash-type elimination

spots myself (mostly on my upper left arm near where my vaccination

scar is, and sometimes on my back, over my spine). What works for me

is coconut oil : it alleviates the itching and makes it heal faster.

May not work for everyone, but it even worked for my poison oak, and

for my granddaughter's diaper rash. Just my 2 cents . . . Lalita

Aveeno makes a line of products they have a baby eczema cream, and oatmeal baths

that help with itching. I have used hydrocortisone before, but I felt weird

about that as it's a steroid, I used it sparingly for only a couple days. The

bumps on his bottom eventually broke and dried up, it was while they were under

the surface they seemed to bother him the most. I know the health food store has

a lot of products, but of course I can't think of one name. Maybe someone else

knows? sorry I'm not more help. Hope its going better today. Libby

Thanks!!! I didn't think of coconut oil....I have a huge jar for

cooking. I also bought aloe vera gel today and applied it on his

bottom. It seems to soothe him.

Thanks again.

Hi Libby - Thanks for your message. I can't use Aveeno as Tyler is

gfcf. I went to the health food store today and they suggested aloe

vera gel as it gives a layer of protection from clothing and soothes

the skin. I bought some and applied it when he got home...seems to

be helping.

I can't use hydrocortisone cream unfortunately as Tyler is on LDN

and it would cancel out LDN.

Thanks for your message and feedback though.

Any brand of Evening Primrose Oil. Open capsules and spread oil on

affected area. At a minimum, it will INSTANTLY feel better. If

you're lucky, it will cure eczema. It did for me, and for the kids

of several friends of mine.
