Some days I do crazy stuff like look back at my very first few posts, and think to myself How can I make this better? So I’ve taken this post from 2011(!), The One Advice from Specialist (to moisturize), and added our ten-year moisturizer journey. It’s nostalgic.
You’ve probably heard of topical steroid withdrawal (TCS), or red skin syndrome. Its existence cannot be denied but how worried should you be? National Eczema Association (US) undertook a review on TCS, and I reached out to Prof Hugo to distill the article findings for you. Here’s our take on TCS.

Are you confused about skin pH, optimally balanced pH, acidic skin, alkaline soap and what ALL that mean for your child’s eczema skin? Put on your thinking hat as you check out Dr Cheryl Lee’s 5- week super detailed interviews on all you would ever need to know on skin pH
