Eczema Update

We're almost to a full body of smooth skin! Just today, I felt his legs--previously like alligator skin--now SMOOTH. I couldn't stop rubbing them! His elbows are still a bit dry and scaly, and his cheeks are only slightly pink. PTL!

Michael did a LOT of laundry the past week. Maybe 20-30 loads? Virtually every item in our house. We had laundry drying in every spot possible!

We're 100% confident it was the detergent. Accidental test: this morning, while giving him a bath, I accidentally poured water in his eyes while rinsing his hair. I grabbed the hand towel nearby and wiped his eyes. Then I realized that was one of the few items we didn't de-tox. By this afternoon, the tops of his cheeks broke out again. Sheesh!

Pics to come soon...he's almost there!!!!

  1. Great to know it is so solvable! And proof in the towel accident. Awww--at least Spring is here. Hey, put fans on them too and the drying will advance much quicker. =) Miss you. Hoping to come to Beijing in December for a week--then on to the NW for a week--pra*er wlking in Muslim land! Neat Christmas present.
