For the record, I am not a scientist. I got close when I married a scientist.

He was all about Chemistry and Biology, and became a physician. I was always the one more intrigued by our personal chemistry, which was ultimately what tipped me over to his research at the crossroads of human biology and chemistry. Necessity was the mother of invention as I worked to find a solution to the vaginal dryness and painful sex that increasingly weighed on our interpersonal chemistry as we grew our family.

Eczema is tough. So is parenthood and toddlers. Put the three together and you’ve got trouble. I know because I’ve been there with my own son. He was three years old when red, itchy, dry eczema covered his entire little body. There was no break from the relentless itchy skin, the sleepless nights trying to soothe him and the chase that pursued when it was time to apply skin cream.

I learned some key things along the way and I’d like to share them with you in hopes that they will help you with toddler eczema.
