​​Eczema. Allopathic/Conventional Medicine or Homeopathy
​
Steroid approach cannot fully resolve eczema, because the root cause(s) are individual and not the one size fits all sticking plaster prescribed at first by your GP.
They may help at first; but the eczema comes back.
​
Fingers crossed, they will grow of it?
With homeopathic treatment; they definitely will grow out of it.
​
​Eczema is never just a skin problem. The roots often lie in genetic inheritance, frequently with a mix of pharmaceuticals to compound and confuse the issue.
​Typically in babies it may appear on the trunk of the body and the creases of the elbows and knees, or the ankles and feet, the neck , behind the ears, the face and around the eyes. The first port of call is the GP. Steroids such as a hydrocortisone 1% or less may be offered and it helps. Then the eczema returns, often the dry skin becoming broken. It then appears in the creases. After using steroids; its then often systemic. Its hard, restrictive and miserable, a daily and often nightly battle, affecting in turn the whole family.
​
​Steroids push the symptoms back but the skin will keep trying to express the inner imbalance. The steroids can then be stronger inn prescription. The stronger they go the worse the effect on the immune system.
Babies are often easier to treat as they have had less suppression of the symptoms.
​
Toxins, pharmaceutical drugs and baby vaccinations along with that sometimes family history often affect gut health, causing more sensitivity. The skin, the largest organ of the body, will express inner disturbance from gut level, in the process of protecting the more inaccessible more important inner organs. What clever bodies we have. ​​
​​​​Allergens: searching for the problem, causes further confusion for the parents or sufferer. Foods or chemicals are only added triggers, while the cause really lies in the current internal gut imbalance of the person. As the eczema clears; the allergies become gradually diffused and eventually resolve. I see this all the time.
​
Homeopaths see the overall health picture as interconnected and unique to the individual.

​I rarely if ever take people OFF steroid creams for the first three months while homeopathy is doing its hardest work in the background although we can usually try weaning off mixed with a natural cream.​​ in percentage the person can tolerate.
​
​​​Follow up is booked for two or three months after the consultation and costs £70. I offer support in between appointments, often via What's App for panic.
​
I work internationally. Here I will need to email the remedies for you to collect from a pharmacy in your country. They are not expensive. Helios UK can be useful.
​
I currently post out most consultation remedies to the UK. There is a charge for postage.

​
Why not book a free 20-minute meeting, to see if you would like to work with me. Homeopathy clears from the inside out without just suppressing the symptoms. It takes patience, explanation, understanding and support from the homeopath. ​​
