Hey,
So I have a 6 year old DD who has very severe eczema, especially on her hands and neck. Passengers stare and gawp at her, I've had several people come up to me to dismay how terrible her hands look, that it looks really bad and question what I'm doing about it ? ( I often get the sort of same remarks when I take her to the doctors).
What they don't know is that I've put DD on countless diets, dairy free, wheat free to help beat the eczema ( she does have actual allergens to this but they are not helping, though she is still on a wheat and dairy free diet), she has been seen by three dermatologist and is awaiting another appointment. I have tried various ointments and creams, we keep persisting with steroid creams though we don't use that often as they thin the skin.
I just feel so down about it, I do hate the way the eczema looks and feels on her skin but it does not help that people who don't know me point this out. Also, I have resorted telling DD to put her hands in her pocket ( I know, it's bad) as that's where the eczema is worse and people often look at them.
Am I not really doing enough to combat her eczema or am I just a bad parent that her eczema should of been sorted out long ago ?
