i have twin boys age 19 months. yes it is difficult & tiring handling twin boys. i scream everyday, literally screaming at them to stop fighting & biting each other. not only that, the boys are having eczema level 4.
if you wonder how many level there is for eczema, i can tell you there are 4 levels. level 4 is the worst level. the skin crack & bleed.
when they were 4 months old, they kept on waking at night & cried coz of the eczema. they scratched themselves to bleed. i had to tie both of their hands in order to stop them from scratching themselves. i cried seeing like that but i had no other choice.
i brought them to many skin specialist but their condition still unchanged until i met this one paed in Kelana Jaya. he told us the right way to treat eczema is to treat the infection first. when they bleed, the wound is open to bacteria & other things which can cause for infection. so he provided us with 4 meds, blue crystal, infection cream, bathing cream & bathing shampoo.
after 2 days we can see the improvement. no more crack skin & less scratching. after that, he gave us cream to apply for eczema. he said we cant treat eczema over night. need time & depends on the kids antibody. some kids recover within 3 months, some within 6 mths, some a year & some never recover at all..
at that time, we thought our problem is over..
