RED RAW ITCHY SCREAMY IRRITABLE SORE SAD
Eczema affects most of us at some point in our lives whether it is ourselves, children or family. One thing we can all agree on is that it is upsetting and miserable for all involved. I'm hoping you might find this post useful or use it to help others to stop the misery of living with eczema.
At six months old, baby James developed eczema. It seemed to develop all of a sudden! Dry patches at first... then full blown, all over red raw, sore skin. He had been exclusively breastfed and we had just started introducing complementary foods (no dairy - this is for calves!)
What on earth had happened to my baby boy's body?
What the hell do I do now?We tried all sorts... creams from the GP, including steroid cream antibiotic creams when it was infected, I made my own cream out of organic shea butter and frankincense (which smelled lush mind!) and we bathed him in oats!! I was at my wits end!
From my eczema suffering, I knew I didn't want James to become stuck in the GP's cycle of creams, which I knew wouldn't cure the problem - only maintain the situation.
One day, I was whinging to my close friend about Jimmy's skin when she remembered a talk she had listened to in a conference and managed to find me the details of 'the eczema man'. She briefly told me what the talk was about and how he had a fantastic success rate at ending eczema for adults and babies, but with NO CREAMS!
I was interested. I e-mailed him. He replied.
And now James has no eczema! Woo Hoo!
Here's the story...
I sent a brief e-mail to Dr Harley describing James' skin and was wondering if he could help us, after all I had nothing to lose! He replied promptly saying that he would help us! I was so happy and relieved that somebody thought they could help our little boy. Dr Harley pointed me in the direction of his website where there are short videos explaining the EXeczema programme and if I was happy he would send us the products. I was keen to get moving quickly so I watched all the videos in one go whilst doing the ironing. Within a week Harley had the EXeczema products sent to us and I had started reading his book. Harley wanted us to send daily photos of Jimmy's skin so that he could monitor the progress and this was the most difficult part of curing James' eczema! He was soooo wriggly!What we did...
Every day for about 2 weeks we used the foam wash in the shower and rinsing off with clean water, repeating this process a handful of times. Then, once the skin had been dried, apply the gel emollient or the foam emollient (not pictured above).It was THAT simple!Most of Harley's success comes in about 14 days (which is half the time for cell growth and replacement)

We are now an EXeczema household! I intend to keep it that way, but always have Harley's products at hand just incase...
We continue to talk about how we cured James' eczema and would love to help others discover this way to achieving happy, healthy skin!
