ayra and eczema



a month ago, paed diagnosed ayra with eczema. first thing she asked me was "do u hv eczema?" and when i answered yes, she said tat is why ayra has it too. oh gosh, Allah je tau bertapa bersalahnyer i felt towards ayra.. i felt like crying tat because of me ayra kena eczema, gatal2 and uncomfortable all because of me!!!

the paed gave ayra hydrocort for her eczema. but what i dont like is how her skin changed bcoz of h-cort cream tu. mcm menghakis kulit dia.. rupanyer its a steroid cream and mmg akan jd camtu.. i didnt know.. :(

then after a week tak surut2 plak eczema dia.. the paed da pesan kalau after a week still ada i hv to stop drinking milk. so until the next check up tue i didnt drink milk and about a week before check up ayra i stopped eating dairy products too. i stopped eating peanuts since she was diagnosed too. 

and since she was diagnosed mmg mcm2 petua kitaorg dapat everytime bawak ayra keluar. i know everyone meant well. tqsm :)

antara petua2 tat i got was:

1) letak calamine lotion
2) letak tepung ubi
3) letak tepung beras
4) letak tepung jagung
5) sapu dgn susu ibu
6) jgn kena susu ibu, lepas minum lap cepat2
7) sapu dgn air kencing baby
8) pot of gold
9) letak drapolene kat tmpt merah2
10) letak aloe vera
11) guna aqueous cream
12) letak virgin coconut oil
13) guna moogoo
14) guna cetaphil
15) sblm gosok gigi sapu air lelangit ibu kat tempat merah sambil selawat

and byk lagi tp da tak igt..so nk try semua mmg tak dan la kan.. byk sgt and nk kena trial and error.. alhamdulillah lepas buat je no 15 tu terus nampak sgt perbezaannya kat pipi dia.. as for her folds at her neck, siku and badan i use the aqueous cream je to keep her skin hydrated, of course guna kat muka skali la.. 






however maybe some people dont know that eczema is an auto immune problem that affects the skin, smpi kulit bleh jd rashes. but it is not masalah kulit semata2 yg kena pakai skin care products. yg kena jaga is the trigger factor of the eczema such as sweat, sun (heat), dust, fragrance baby products, etc..

so i do appreciate the suggestions given cuma sometimes i wish ppl would knw the difference btwn normal rashes and eczema.. 

anyway, masa ayra's 3 month check up hari tu doctor said mmg confirm la ayra mmg ada eczema but i can eat whatever i want since pantang those stuff pun tak kurangkan eczema dia kan (yahoo for me!!! hehehe..) as for ayra, since m still breastfeeding her, just kena jaga trigger factors je la.. 

kesian my baby.. bila mummy kena pun garu mcm org giler, i can just imagine bila ayra gatal dia rasa caner.. cian diaaaa... :(
