A new concern for a new mother! My son has/had Eczema. My gosh, I've never felt so awful for him. The itching and crankiness is enough to make any mother squirm! I think the hardest part of Eczema is the fact that it's hard to find the source of the problem. For Peter, it was out of the blue. I don't know if it was his favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs or the window cleaner! Fortunately, a friend of mine recommended a wonderful skin product that cured it almost instantly. Unbelievable! (If you ever want a recommendation, just email me.) But, as I researched this pesky problem I found so many people suffer extensively from it. Have any of you been able to find a cure or even a source for eczema? If so, please let me know. I'd love to hear from you and I'm interested in doing a news story in the near future.
Until next time -- have a wonderful day!

Christine - I would be interested in the skin product recommended to you. My daughter has delt with eczema since the age 2yr - now 4yrs and it's been a long hard battle for her. To the uncontrollable scratching that leads to bleeding and breaking down of her skin that lead to countless times of staff infection. We had to seek a specialist in pediatric dermatology in Dallas to get some relief for her. I'm always on the look for something new to try just to keep her comfortable. I would be interested in any suggestions you have and will offer any you may need. Thanks - Michelle

My son had had eczema also when he was little. I found that his was related to food allergies, (dairy products). This was many years ago (he is now 24), so I don't remember the name of the medication the doctor gave me for his skin. It did help to bath him in lukewarm to cool water with very little or no soap when it flared up. He did out grow the condition for the most part with only an occasional flare up that seemed to happen when airborne allergies were bothering him.

Hi Christine,
Having kids is great...and yes....they sure grow up fast. I have three which live with their mom in Abilene. My oldest will be 15 in July....Where has time gone. Seems just like yesterday I was taking him to school. Boy, do I miss those days.
