Bad episode of eczema

Aug 27
hehe
this is for girl mummy
oh yeah? pretended to be surprise

he has some heat rash/eczema on his forehead.
so its time for a hair cut inspite of dad's resistance.
dad prefers to keep his hair long.

the aftermath of playing in the field and rolling on the ground

it broke my heart to see this

went to his dermatologist,
diagnose as eczema.
insect bite allergy.

calmed down with syrup prednisolone for 4 days (big mistake),
and momethasone cream (face), BVC 1:4 (body).
took 6-7 days for redness to reduce.

these toads flew here,
with us on the plane ;)
mom and the other orang tuas said toads as well as monitor lizard can give good skin. helps to clean blood.
cook them in soup.

dont question me.
whether if it is a myth or not,
no harm.
seriously. no harm done.
so why not?
vary your food source
:p

Epsom salt spa


Whilst bathing, magnesium sulphate is absorbed through the surface of the skin where it may gently help to support the removal of toxins from the body.
Both magnesium and sulphate molecules may have an ability to help extract excess sodium, phosphorus and nitrogenous toxins from the body. Its soothing action may help with troublesome skin including eczema, psoriasis and sensitive skin.
Magnesium sulphate dissolved in water creates a static, unified, electrical field, and immersing your body in it helps to create a magnetic balance.
Often recommended by physiotherapists and specialists. Epsom salts may also act as a natural emollient to soften & exfoliate the skin.
Unlike other salts, it does not leave the skin feeling dry. On the contrary, Epsom Salts leave the skin with a soft and silky texture. This pure mineral has been able to stand the test of time because so many people seem to get results. Generations of people have relied on the natural values of Epsom Salts.  From Holland and Barret
