Aaron has been getting more fussy while feeding and the rashes on his arms seem to get worse. We decided to take him to the doctor before anything gets too serious. Aaron was diagnosed with eczema, which mommy has it all her life since childhood. There is not much we can do besides keeping him moisturized. I do not want to give him any cortisone unless he really needs it, as mommy knows how cortisone thins out her skin.
Eczema is definitely not fun to deal with, especially if Aaron does not outgrow it like mommy. I understand how frustrating it is to have itchy and flaky skin as I suffer from it all my life. :( I still remember how red and flaky my face looked when I was a kid and how embarrassing it was when other kids asked me what's wrong with my skin. Eczema is not only a medical issue, but a social issue that is tough to deal with for kids or even adults.
