Wonderful for my son's eczema!

I just can't love this cream! It really helped my 3 year old with eczema! I have to use his steroid cream (very minimally) maybe once a week for small areas where he gets infected, but overall this cream has helped make his skin much healthier. We've walked out of the lives of pediatric dermatologists, pediatric allergists, skin prick tests, several different prescription drugs (including Eucrisa which is TERRIBLE), several antihistamines, bleach baths, wet swaddles, elimination diets, constant scratching until you bleed, crying. / screaming with discomfort, infected skin that has turned into an abscess requiring 10 days of antibiotic treatment and trying about 15 (if not more) different over-the-counter creams, lotions, ointments, etc. Put your shorts back on and play like a normal kid. Again, this isn't a miracle lotion or instant fix, but I know that this lotion (and the reduction, not the elimination but the reduction of dairy) has helped him a lot. I started out using it 4 times a day along with triamcinolone 4 times a day until I got his skin under control and from that point I was able to gradually switch to twice a day lotion and as I mentioned just a very small application a steroid once a week. This lotion is quite expensive and I wish it was a little more affordable, but I was able to stretch the bottle to about a month and a half with twice daily use. As a mother heart broken to see her little boy suffer so much it was worth highlighting this product in the budgetโค
