Eczema

Eczema - That's what Claire is having now!

I bought her to see Dr Chan last Sat and she is diagnosed with Eczema. Her whole face is covered with red, angry rashes and not to mention her body too. Poor little Piglet, her rashes is so itchy that she can't sleep well at night and she will scratch her little face! When i was bathing her yesterday, it pains my heart to see her whole body covered with those angry, red rashes!

Dr Chan prescribed her a steriod cream (heard that it is no good for the skin actually!) and moisturiser to apply. Also, to change her milk formula from cow based to soy based. Unfortunately, Claire seems to have hard stool this morning. Furthermore, no soap, no fragrance products for Claire, she can only use hypoallergenic products!

Mum kept on insisting that her Eczema is a reaction due to the her 5-in-1 jabs and it has nothing to do with her milk formula. Frankly speaking, I m pretty upset by Mum's insistence. Her insistence made me feel that i failed terribly as a Mother even though i know she is concerned about Claire. Mum told me that she will let her TCM doctor to check out Claire's condition, perhaps TCM might help Claire!
