I would like to draw your attention to a blogpost by "mommy-blogger" Loren about a little girl called Abigel.
You can read the post here.
The progress photos are nothing short of amazing. I have never seen such an extreme skin reaction to stopping steroids and the pictures just go to illustrate the harm that steroid creams can do to the skin. Everyone prescribing steroids for eczema should be forced to look at these shocking photos.
I'm so glad Abigel is getting better and inspired by her brave mom who stuck it out despite opposition from doctors who supposedly "knew better".
Having met another inspirational mom at our meet-up in London, I salute all the moms who fight for the best treatment for their children, despite pressure from dermatologists keen to push steroids at every opportunity. Thanks to these wise parents, their children have the hope of a future free from red skin!
