[2007-11-16 14:44:46 by 12399] severe eczema
My 3 year old daughter has suffered from severe eczema all over her body since she was 6 months old. We have been to several skin specialists and doctors etc., and tried every cream ointment, wet wrap bandages and steroid going. We were at our wits end and exhausted, and our little girls agony was no better. Our local pharmacist recommended we take her to see a Chinese herbalist, so we booked into Dr & Herbs in The Potteries Centre, Stoke on Trent. After a 10 minute wait we were seen by a doctor and her assistant. They both showed great concern for my daughters health, and had great confidence they could help. We bought, for £70 total, tablets to detox her body, cream for her skin, and an allergy test. We were given herbal tea pouches for free to apply externally. Although wary to begin with, my husband and I were desperate for it to work. My daughter has had to wear gloves for the past 3 months to stop her scratching herself to pieces, and she was getting tired of wearing them. Bath times were a nightmare, as the water hurt her dry, cracked and sore skin. Coping with her poorly skin and watching her suffer broke mine and my husbands hearts. Getting her to take the pills wasn't easy, but we made it, and I want to share with you how delighted I am with the results.
Gone are the bandages. She has lovely clear skin on her hands and her feet are almost clear. The back of her legs, which were particularly bad, are clear!!!! I can not remember a time, since she was born, that her skin was so soft. She is happier and more confident than she has ever been, and she keeps on showing everybody how great her skin is. We are over the moon with the results, and can not explain the difference it has made to all of our lives.
