How do you care for your child with eczema? It disturbed me that there are eczema sufferers and their loved ones who are still not getting the answers they want, who remained confused and frustrated. I truly hope that this blog can turn that blues to bliss, and offer your family a good night’s sleep (only we know how hard that is!)
