I've been ploughed real hard with eczema. I have discolouration on my body and scaly skin all around :( Who says all babies have smooth skin? Mummy massages me with baby oil every day and puts baby lotion for me twice a day but my skin is still dry. Dr. Ong has given me two bottles of medicated cream but it only helps supress the itchiness for a while. Sometimes at night, I wake Mummy up coz I'm scratching all over till I bleed and Mummy don't like to see blood over my forehead and legs.
But hey, new itch-free, scratch-free days are ahead of me - Mummy bought some Chinese herbs to bathe me in every day and it seems to be working. Last night, I slept 5 hours straight without waking anyone up!

What a lovely blog and what a gorgeous little boy! Congratulations.
My little one (now a strapping eight year old) had baby exzema - don't use hydrocortisone from the doctor - instead get some calendula ointment (nelson's is best if you can get that). It is a very effective and best of all a natural remedy - much better for baby's delicate skin.
Hi Sheri,
Thank you so much for your wonderful recommendation! We're on our way to finding the calendula ointment for the little boy!
