Concerns Over Eczema Drugs For Three Month Old Babies

Filed Under Baby Eczema, Eczema Drugs, Eczema News, Eczema Pain Relief, Eczema Treatment 

While I do not doubt the concern to help babies find relief from their [tag-tec]eczema[/tag-tec] by dermatologists, I am not sure if the method of using drugs is the best.

Dermatologists at UT Houston medical school are currently looking for volunteers for a new research study using an [tag-dtec]eczema[/tag-dtec] drug that has worked successfully on older kids.  They are hoping to use the drug on babies as young as three months old.

Granted, it’s very difficult to help a baby with sensitive skin that erupts into a rash which is itchy and inflammed.  Screaming away at his or her discomfort can really tear a parent’s heart.

I’ve come across products that can help bring down the symptoms; like organic clothing and bedding for baby eczema.  Also, herbal oil moisturizers are known to help. Making sure that there are no dust mites is another area that should be explored. However, I have to admit that I do not know of any best or recommended method of treating eczema in babies naturally and successfully. 

If anything, parents should not rely on the use of drugs for extended periods of time, whether the patient is a three month old baby or a 12 year old kid.  We all know that possible side effects exist.  Drugs for any kind of illness are no miracle “cures” – an important fact that we should remember.

    I believe we need to attend to the cause – these are just a symptom solution and quite possibly will worsen the problem with time. The use of drugs to alleviate physical symptoms is just one aspect of the human being. We are so much more than just a physical body. I do believe we need to be comfortable and enjoy life, but I am also concerned with the use of drugs – it is just not actually addressing the underlying cause.

    Thanks,

    Dear, dear, dear,Oh my dear!

    All babies with Eczema will cure through their natural healing power. Can we not try to decide for them what we do not know?
