Take Control of Your Child’s Health by Asking the Right Questions
What if eczema is more than just a skin condition?
Can eczema really develop “out of nowhere”?
Does your child’s doctor offer any solution other than more lotions and topical steroids?
Welcome to Eczema Dad
Our daughter developed eczema when she was two months old. Her conditions worsened over the following months. At one point, our daughter was covered in dry, red, itchy skin patches from head to toe, with blisters in multiple areas. We tried every eczema cream, both prescriptions and over-the-counter, with little success.
Feeling hopeless, I spent months doing my own research and worked with my wife to give holistic eczema treatment a try. We also switched to another pediatrician who was more knowledgeable and open-minded. It was a long journey, but ultimately rewarding. After one year, almost all of our daughter’s eczema was gone.
I created the Eczema Dad website to share our knowledge and experience with other parents of children suffering from eczema.

What is eczema and what causes it?
Most online definitions of eczema (or atopic dermatitis) simply describe the symptoms of eczema. In order to effectively combat eczema, we must first understand the mechanisms that lead to eczema. It is important to distinguish between causes and triggers for eczema. For example, a change in weather may trigger an eczema flare-up, but it doesn’t cause eczema. Otherwise, all of us will be walking around with this skin disease. On the other hand, an overactive immune system may be a cause of eczema, because it makes your body react excessively to harmless triggers such as a weather change.
How to heal from Eczema?
I use the word “heal” here instead of “treat” for a couple reasons. First of all, although eczema is a skin disease, the causes of eczema lie within the body. Therefore, treating only the external symptoms will not solve the eczema problem in the long run. Secondly, I’m not a doctor, so I cannot give medical advice about treating anything. The holistic approach which has helped our daughter tremendously includes restoring gut health, diet improvements, detoxing, and symptom management using primarily natural products.
