Living with Eczema and Finding Relief for My Toddler’s Skin {Giveaway}

Finding Eczema Relief

Sponsored Content

Eczema has been an issue in our lives ever since our baby boy was born. He has had dry, itchy skin since he was an infant and at times it has been a terrible problem, even causing his troubled areas to bleed from the scratching and dryness. Eczema is an ongoing battle that has its moments of being under control and moments of flare ups. Sadly, according to Eucerin, over 35 million Americans suffer from eczema and the condition can cause loss of sleep and inability to function in everyday activities due to the discomfort and frequent itching.

I’ve learned that the most important thing for eczema relief is to keep the skin moisturized, which means we constantly lotion our baby boy’s skin. We are also careful about which products we use on his skin, bathe him with fragrance-free, moisturizing cleansers, and use fragrance-free laundry detergent. Over the last two years, my toddler’s skin has improved significantly, but every now and then we still see flare ups of eczema patches on his skin. As I said, it’s an ongoing battle – one we hope will eventually go away altogether.

To help people with their eczema symptoms, Eucerin has a new line of products designed specifically for eczema relief. Eucerin Eczema Relief Instant Therapy Creme is fragrance-free, as well as free of dyes and steroids, so it is appropriate for use on both adults and children. If you’d like to try Eucerin Eczema Relief Instant Therapy Creme for yourself and add it to your ezcema skin care regimen, keep reading to enter the giveaway below!

    Our gal has a few sleepless nights with constant itching. We worry about infections with all the scratching. She doesn’t like to wear dresses above her knees when their is a flare up. I think it affects her self esteem sometimes. We remind her that she is beautiful

  136. Deb C says

    I have very sensitive skin and I am a frequent handwasher. This leaves my hands prone to chapping and eczema, especially in winter. I’d like to try these products soon.

  156. Peter G says

    My wife suffers from this. I have tried to find all the things for her that might help, but the Eczema just comes back. Over the counter and prescription drugs help, but it just comes back. Soothing baths with all the different things I’ve read about.
    Hoping that Eucerin Products are the answer for some relief.

  166. Stephanie Gossett says

    I suffer and so does my little girl. She and I both have arm patches as we speak. I would love to win so that I can try this new therapy and also afford the co-pay to take her to the doctor for a possible new treatment. Thank you for the chance! This is really going to bless someone! To all of you who suffer, you are in our prayers. It can be awful!
