Blessed Relief From Eczema

Blessed relief from Eczema came for our grandson Chris when he was ten.

Your heart could hardly bear watching him.  Scratch, scratch, scratch.  Tummy, legs, arms, face, back, neck - there was hardly a spot on his body which was not affected.  This had gone on since he was two.  Every type of medicine you could image was tried.  Emollient creams were a daily routine. DiproBase twice a day and again at school if the itching overwhelmed him.

Tepid baths with Oilatum poured into the water daily.  Occasionally he would go on steriods but his Mum worried about their thinning affect on his skin, so she used them sparingly. Night times were difficult as he couldn't sleep well.  To help him he had a air-conditioner running, and was allowed to listen to the radio, read and watch some TV shows until he fell asleep.  They say children grow in their sleep.  This would explain why he never grew fast.

He was small and thin, with arms like sticks. Yet despite the misery the eczema caused him, his Mum encouraged him to live as normal a life as possible.  He was bright and did well at school, but suffered the odd looks and remarks from other children as a result of his obvious skin condition.

We are a praying family and we always prayed for Chris, that the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ would heal him.  It was difficult though, because although we are taught to believe for healing, Chris' eczema remained with him.  What was a miracle though was the way he lived his life.  He was a surprisingly cheerful boy whose sense of humour was easily tickled.

Despite being small, the prognosis of his bone density was good.  There was plenty of room for growth.

Caring people would stop whoever was with Chris in the street and suggest a treatment that had worked for them.  Unfortunately, there was no blessed relief from eczema for Chris.

Then one day his Mum was pointed to an internet site.

The result was a visit to a Doctor who practices in both South Africa and the UK and who specialized in dermitology.  He had a lot of success with eczema.

Later he told us that his first look at Chris had resulted in him feeling that Chris' recovery from eczema would be slow.  In fact, Chris responded so well to the treatment that the effect on his skin was almost immediately noticeable.  He's been eczema free for more than a year now and manages his own treatment. At last he has got blessed relief from Eczema.

He has to apply the cream prescription once a day.  A lot of his eczema problem was down to the fact that the scratching broke his skin which in turn caused a low grade infection.  Treating this was the first step to his recovery.

The Doctor's name is Dr. Aron.  There is no affiliation to him other than he being my grandson's doctor.  If anyone else is suffering from this awful itchiness than it is very worthwhile contacting this Doctor.  Perhaps for them too, it would be an opportunity of getting blessed relief from eczema.
