🧑🍼One day, a concerned mother and grandmother walked into our pharmacy, gently carrying their 9-month-old baby boy. Both of them looked exhausted and anxious. From the moment we saw the baby, it was clear why they were seeking help — his tiny face was visibly inflamed, red, dry, and irritated. His arms and legs were dry as well, covered with scratch marks that showed how uncomfortable he had been.
🥺The mother shared that these symptoms had begun around the time he was just 2 months old. Since then, the condition had slowly worsened. They kept his bedroom warm, applied body cleansing, lotion, moisturizer cream, coconut oil, and occasionally used a steroid cream on the affected areas. They also avoided egg whites, worried about potential allergies.
😞Despite their efforts, nothing seemed to bring him lasting relief. The baby cried throughout the assessment — a sign of just how uncomfortable he truly was, and the parents’ worry grew heavier with every moment.
🩺Our consultant, Ms. Sim, examined the baby’s skin gently and carefully. Very quickly, she recognized the condition: infant eczema, a common but chronic skin issue that often affects young babies. She explained to the family that eczema can appear on the face, cheeks, scalp, arms, legs, and behind the knees and elbows. It often presents as:
• Dry, rough, or scaly skin
• Red, inflamed patches
• Persistent itching
• Fussiness or disrupted sleep
• Oozing or crusting if the baby scratches too much
🏷️The mother and grandmother listened closely, hoping for answers.
📝During the consultation, we guided them through essential information, including:
• How to care for the baby’s skin daily
• What to do when flare-ups occur
• What products, habits, or triggers to avoid
📌We then introduced our “REVEAL Holistic Management” approach — a gentle, personalized, and natural care plan designed to manage skin conditions effectively without overwhelming the baby’s delicate skin.
📌The family agreed to follow the plan, and within just a few days, the transformation was remarkable.
The baby’s redness faded.
The severe dryness softened and healed.
His skin began to look smooth, calm, and healthy again.
📌Most importantly, the baby was finally comfortable — sleeping better, crying less, and smiling more.The parents were overjoyed, relieved, and grateful to see such a dramatic improvement in such a short time.Today, the baby’s eczema remains well-managed under the attentive care of his parents, with our ongoing support whenever needed.
