My daughter started showing symptoms of atopic dermatitis when she was just one year old. The irritations and itching started first on her neck. She scratched herself during the day, at night and sometimes she hurt herself a lot.
At first I thought it was something specific, that it could be an allergy to something that she had eaten, but the thing was more. In the neck, the stinging also began on the inside of the elbows and knees. We both had a very bad time.
As my daughter did not get the irritation, I took her to the pediatrician who quickly diagnosed the discomfort as atopic dermatitis. The first thing he told us is that atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, has no cure. You can control and even prevent outbreaks from continuing to bother and irritate children's skin, but there was nothing, no medicine to cure it. In fact, looking for more information I learned that this disease affects up to 20 percent of childrenschool age.
The first thing my daughter's pediatrician recommended was that I always keep the girl's nails short, because by scratching the affected area, she could hurt herself a lot and even cause infections. Then he advised me that It will hydrate my little girl's skin to the maximum, to avoid excessive sweating and very long baths or with very hot water.
I followed the medical advice to the letter and the truth is that it greatly alleviated the effects of dermatitis on my daughter. The eczema was parked on his skin for a little over a year. But then they came back!
I used antiseptic powders, I put gloves on my little girl while she slept at night to prevent her from scratching, I watched her eating, I removed all the labels from the clothes she was wearing and only bought her clothes made of pure cotton, until one day, talking With a neighbor, she advised me to remove the soap to bathe my daughter.
I went to the pharmacy and bought a bath lotion, without soap and without alcohol. It's incredible, but that's what made my daughter say goodbye to dermatitis. After two weeks using the lotion, my little girl's skin has stopped itching and irritating. What joy, what tranquility!
Children are also unique in curing diseases. That is why it is so important that the treatment is prescribed by the doctor, according to the symptoms that each child has. Many of the recommendations that my daughter's pediatrician gave me are now reflected in the Decalogue for the control of atopic dermatitis, carried out by five international experts on the subject and the Association of Relatives and Patients of Atopic Dermatitis (ADEA). If your child has eczema on the skin, it is worth knowing. Luck!
