Something to Withhold Infant from Scratching Other than a Sock....

My little boy has eczema and has one patch of skin that he consistantly tries to scratch on his cheek. I do have it covered with gause and a strong tape so he doesn't scratch it during his naps. I also put a sock on his hand. Regardless, he tends to rub so hard that he gets gause and tape off. It isn't healing very fast because every few days he gets at it and scratches to bleeding pt. I managed to get rid of the eczema on the rest of his face with LOTS of lotion. I know I can get rid of this too if only he could leave it alone for...

Help with My Zit Face!!

I am 22 yrs old and getting married in June. Here in the last 6 months or so I have been having these terrible breakouts! I sure don't want to have them on my wedding day!! I have tried using organic products like Eminence and I have tried AcneFree facial products. Nothing is working for me!! The Acnefree burned and dried out my skin, and I was only using it 3 times a week. I do not have oily skin and usually only dry in the winter. I need some serious help with it for sure!! The breakouts are mostly on my cheeks and temples.

Advice on Excema

My daugher has recently developed excema. I have not taken her to the peds as I know that it is excema but how to treat it? My doctor is not someone that hands out medicine or creams so thought and see if there were any alternative methods. I have not changed my detergent lately either.

Rosacea After Baby

Hi Moms- I am desperate for a solution. I was diagnosed with Rosacea, and given Metrogel to use. I haven't noticed an improvement, it's been a month. I am looking for any kind of remedy, or dietary advice. When I look on the web the information is overwhelming and conflicting. I have seen some literature on the connection between Rosacea and aspartame, so I am trying to quit drinking diet cokes (that is my only vice!). Has anyone else found success with eliminating asparatame or any other item from diet, to help manage Rosacea? Thanks!!

Skin Tag on Ear

Hi Mamas, My 19 month old son was born with a skin tag on his ear. I consulted with an ENT today, and he said it was a routine procedure to remove it, however, required my son to use anesthesia. I'm debating whether putting my baby under is worth the removal. He said it was low risk procedure. Have any of you ever done this before? Why and why not? How was your child through the process and recovery? What have you been told about the risks of removing it versus the risks of not? Thanks for sharing your experiences.

My Daughter Has a Wart :(

My 7yo daughter has had a bump on the underside of her wrist for a while now. At her well visit I asked the doctor about it and he said that it is a wart. He said we could leave it alone, try an over the counter remedy or have it frozen off in the dr's office (but that would be a bit painful). It doesn't seem to bother her and she doesn't know the stigma behind warts but I would like it gone. Occasionally she'll pick at it until it bleeds a little. I definitely don't want to put her thru anything painful. I also don't want to make a big...
