I have sought treatment for Oriental Remedies Group (a tcm clinic) for my eczema myself, and also got to know that they do treat younger ones with eczema as well. They have experienced physicians over there to support. Also very important to watch diet and constantly moisturise to prevent itch and scratching.

Best if you seek help from a Doctor to get the best advise.

It brings back the moisture to the skin so it can begin to heal. I use this serum along with Aquaphor and it works. It will not cure eczema but it does work on my baby’s face and body and I think it prevents having sometimes really bad flare-ups and I’m glad I found this serum.

Over the months, it slowly spread to lower legs, hands and almost every part of my body (except the face, thankfully). I was prescribed steroid creams, anti-histamines and moisturisers. Once in a while, I would be prescribed oral steroids (prednisolone) when I had bad flare-up. But too much medication made my skin even thinner and more sensitive.

After a few different blood tests, I found my root cause; I have contact allergy to a common preservative(methylisothiazolinone) in liquid detergents/wash and dust mite allergy! That made it a lot easier since I could now consciously avoid something. But the battle is not over, since dust is everywhere. My eczema condition has improved a great deal, but it’s still a daily effort. My most significant recovery came when I applied shielding lotion instead of conventional moisturizer. My feedback and review is in my blogsite : http://www.skinshare.sg/gloves-in-a-bottle-singapore.
And also when I started on an alkaline eczema diet, the itchiness went away slowly... I hope to help more people with similar condition as it is a very challenging condition to live with. I have shared all my learnings, experience and tips, especially more so that I am a certified nutrition therapist in my blog : http://www.skinshare.sg

Stay healthy and take care.

You will have to watch your kid’s diet and probably give some supplements. For my daughter’s eczema, we had to identify the triggers and remove them from her food first.

It’s said that deer placenta powder can help to ‘uproot’ asthma. I paid $400 for a certain amount. The guide was persuading me to buy $800 of it but I didn’t. Or maybe that was why my kid wasn’t cured of asthma and eczema. But even then, I didn’t see marked improvement in my kid’s condition after consuming the powder.

To me, it’s an old wives’ tale.

You can read up more about it. It’s a nightmare going through that. I personally know a few people who are going through it.


So your child is one of the lucky ones. Some children get tsw just from a few days’ of steroids application.

My elder kid had eczema as an infant. The steroid cream helped to clear her skin up quickly and relieved her of the intense itch.

After that, it was more manageable. Subsequently, I bought Gaia baby moisturiser for her to use on the affected areas constantly, up till she was in primary school and it went away after that.

It’s a manifestation of autoimmune disease. So besides changing creams and wash etc, the diet must be changed as well.


My daughter’s eczema is finally under control after years of combat. Thank goodness!

Just don’t use steroids! It only masks the symptoms but doesn’t address the root of the problem!

Few weeks ago, just got a organic plant oil : calendula oil from Tokyu hand orchard.

Thanks for sharing! ds' eczema is well controlled, but I am always happy to try various moisturizers for both of us and will definitely check this out. 🙂

Try on my wife which have rashes due to hot weather and her spot eczema area. Surprisingly, it smooth them is a few days. 1 week ago, my wife tried on my daughter and son spot eczema area which have been there comes and goes for years. My younger girl show significant improvement. But my elder son shows only slight improvement. Will continue to use on them. I used to use some medicine from GP. But heard that it is not good from long run. So went buy this plant oil to try out. I think it is worth the money. 😄

I also moisturize my skin and use Virgin Coconut Oil as my daily after bath moisturizer… I also taking in VCO in spoonfuls.

Using steroids continually can cause to worsen up your eczema… It is better to use organic like ACV and VCO… They are antibacterial and natural moisturizers…

Eczema is an autoimmune issue.


please do not use steroids. There are many who get addicted to steroids and go through terrible withdrawals from it.

While we can try and find a suitable cream to resolve it, we need to heal the internal issue also like leaky gut, impaired immune system.

My girl has eczema issue, I have tried lots of stuffs and I would say diet play a major part.
True! Agree
