Eczema

We went to a pd and got to know my son has eczema. Was given steroid cream. It cleared the acne, red patches away but we stopped using it and relying on it once we realised his skin got dry and patchy. We started using suu balm after which and it got better but we realised that the acne, red patches on his skin will start to appear once we stopped using the cream. Do you mummies know if we have to solely rely on cream to combat eczema? We have tried to keep his cheeks clean; pat it with warm water etc but the acne will still be there. I am honestly quite bothered with pple and strangers approaching me about it and implying that i do not keep his cheeks clean/ the environment he is in; my home is dirty/ passing remark on my hair touching his face which is not true as i keep them up. Can’t help to feel like i am a bad mom each time i hear it.

My LO is having the same condition too, it comes and goes and we are currently only wiping with cooled boiled water too. His skin started to flake over the weekend, guess it's time to start the moisturiser again. We too have strangers coming up and saying odd things... But one kind grandfather told my husband not to worry, it clears up after awhile because his grandson's skin did, after 1 year... What I can't stand is within the families and the relatives implying we are not cleaning his face right, so fed up I wanted to answer back why not they come do it then... Or worse, "eeee why the skin like that?" Why are there such relatives on this earth?

Indeed, you are not alone! Let's ignore those buggers because we mommies are doing the absolute best we can for our LOs 😘
