Eczema - Part 2

Claire's eczema flared up today! We suspect its due to the rice water that we used for her sponge bath. One of my aunties told my Mum that we can also use dried bitter gourd to bath her if we can't find bitter gourd vines.

Virginia 's family dropped by Mum's place and she told me that it takes time for her to heal. She told me not to be too worried and suggested loads of remedies. The most interesting one is to bath Claire in Stout. Yup, Stout as in the Guiness Stout!

For me, I was quite pissed off by Pirate King's younger Sis. When she saw Claire's rough skin and we told her that it's eczema, she immediately asked me, "Did you eat alot of mangoes during your pregnancy?" I was like, WTF! Come on, everytime Claire has a problem, it is due to what i ate during my pregnancy! Sheesh, it sounds so stupid! Eczema is inherited, Pirate King & I both have sensitive skin.... So, what has it got to do on what i ate during my pregnancy?

My MIL kept on telling us to bring Claire to see a skin specialist either at KKH or one at Bt Batok that is reputed to be good. I gave up telling her N times that its a waste of $$ to see the doctors. They can at most prescribe steriod creams, moisturisers and advice only!

Now, i only know that i just got to keep Claire's flare ups under control and hopefully, she will outgrow the eczema fast!
