Eczema update: I posted several months ago about some eczema 6yo DS had on his leg that would not go away even with prescription creams. People suggested sugar, gluten, non-GMO, non-organic foods, etc were the issue. One day, I threw out his boots because they were well loved (meaning, just trashed.) Eczema cleared right up and hasnt come back! Who would have thought it would be such an easy solution! Turns out, the boots were the cause- continually hitting those two spots. Just like my eczema, his was driven by physical irritation. For me, its soaps & shampoos (I pack my own when traveling), citrus & peppermint oils (even EOs), lotions (I make my own salve), other irritants (nail polish remover, chlorine from swimming), really hot & dry weather, etc. Basically, as long as Im careful about what goes on my skin, I dont have an issue.
