          My son is 12 years old and his eczema is at the joints behind his knees. My friend has eczema at her neck and his son 18 years old also has eczema at the joints behind his knees.


          We have been trying lots of products for eczema but a NO NO to steroid cream as these are the Local side effects of topical steroids:
          ■ Skin thinning (atrophy) and stretch marks (striae).
          ■ Easy bruising and tearing of the skin.
          ■ Perioral dermatitis (rash around the mouth).
          ■ Enlarged blood vessels (telangiectasia).
          ■ Susceptibility to skin infections.
          ■ Disguising infection e.g. tinea incognito.
          ■ Allergy to the steroid cream.

          For people with eczema, their skin are extremely dry so they cannot use normal bathing / shower products.

          Lately we found out a Japan brand shower product meant for hydrating skin and it works well.

          Next, after bath, must apply cream. And we have been using a USA brand steroid free cream which works well too. We have to buy this from USA and it is only S$20 for 70oz (198g).
          Hi - please let me know the brand name of this USA cream. need it for my dd. Thanks

              BTW, several years ago, my girl developed a mix of eczema and fungus after she started wearing a pair of fake crocs.


              On hindsight, I believe that there must have been chemical used that triggered that episode.

              Sometimes it just needed some chemical to trigger it. These days, the detergents we use contains all sorts of chemical…and enzymes to speed up chemical reactions. Some of us may just react more adversely to them.

                yes, agreed.
                That is why I'm using a non chemical, biodegradable and environmentally friendly detergent that is good and useful for the family.
                It is also effective in cleaning and leave a nice fragrance after wash.

                  U should try the Japan brand shower product that we use. After my son use it, he does not feel itchy anymore.

                  The shop to buy this product is in Geylang.

                  Hi hi...

                        It's indeed better than the Physiogel bought over the counter, after 2 nights before bedtime application now the elbow recovering amazingly well. :please:
