tony and the flesh eating alien
Ok, so it’s just Excema, but damn…He’s had, what we thought…and was diagnosed originally…was heat rash. Turns out, after his 2 month checkup, it’s eczema. It never seemed to bother him, but was not attractive. We’ve changed to the Nestle natural cultures formula a few weeks ago, and recently started using Aveeno extreme care baby wash. The doc also gave Sarah a voodoo recipe for an at home concoction. He is doing much better after only a week. His skin is almost clear and is soft as a baby’s…wait a tick, that’s redundant.
I did read, and have been told, that eczema can be connected to food allergies and, in some odd way, be a foreshadowing sign of asthma. Ain’t that something. It’s like a cruel, predestined, nerd trio. Food allergies, bad skin, and asthma. If he had been born with am inhaler and pocket protector, it would have been complete.
But we are diligent. We are using the right lotion and baby wash now. However, my wife does miss his “sweet baby” smell that comes from the scented baby wash. She may sacrifice the skin to get the baby smell back. And, my mother-in-law wants to use hydrochloric acid on him…read up.
