My cousin has been using coconut oil on her child's eczema and found it has been effective in reducing the symptoms and keeping the skin hydrated.
So I took a sample and found it has been really good on the "craddle cap" scalp have been suffering with since all this started. The only downside I have is the greasy looking hair the oil causes. But who cares when the itch has subsided.
So now trying it on the rest of my body to now try to fight the effects of "heating" on my skin as the radiators are turned on for winter. Seems okay 3 days in.
All the writings are my own thoughts from observations I have made as I have suffered eczema for 20-30 years with it infesting 90% of my body. If you are reading my blog, you need to do detective work for yourself to identify the factors that worsen the condition. Some factors are not immediately obvious, but once you have identified them, you can then start enjoying less itchy days. Do read my observations about the different factors that can cause us to itch in Dec 2008.
