10year old daughter with eczema symptoms
Hello, I'm new to this forum and would really appreciate any advice and guidance for my daughter.She is 10 years old and is suffering from eczema on the back of her neck. She has had dry skin on her neck for a few months now but it is getting much thicker and sore in the past week.
Her skin has become dark and thick and is very scaly and shedding dry flaky skin. It is also weepin water.
Also the area around her eyes is getting drier and looking a little swollen every morning.
She has had this problem every 2 and a half years since she was 2 years old. It stays for about 4 months and then disappears on its own.
Her eye area becomes very red and raw and her skin keeps on shedding and ripping every day, it heals up and then reoccurs again.
She is a generally happy child with a good healthy diet, and regular bowel movements. She has no other medical problems. The occasional cold. She is a very sensitive girl and I feel she is growing taller these past few weeks. She takes criticism very personally and any remarks made about her very seriously. Otherwise she is a hardworking child, liked by all, clever and independent. She does like to get her peers approve meant on everything and doesn't like to let people down. Inside she sometimes lacks confidence without letting anyone know. She comes across very capable and she us but sometimes has self doubt.
I thing as she is going through a growth spurt and her body is developing this eczema returns.
It is really starting to affect her as she worries if it will ever get better.
Please if anyone could advise me on a remedy I would very much appreciate it. If any other questions need answering please let me know.
Thank you

dry scaly back neck picture, you can also see the skin tearing and that is where it weeps water. The skin is dry and scaly and becomes tight and pulls when she turns her head.
Saj22 last decade
this is her eye lid, it is starting to get dry as you can see underneath the eyebrow, it starts like this and becomes similar to her neck. Was sensitive to touch and look.

How does she respond to heat & cold on her neck eczema
The weather has been cold outside and the house/school is warm inside but that has not affected the eczema.
the neck just feels warm to touch as do her eye area
It eczema itchy
No she said it doesn't itch, just feels very dry and a little sticky after it weeps.
Her eyes feel sensitive to touch on the skin outside but feel ok inside.
I gather that water stings on the neck?
well as you can see from the pictures it was very dry dark and scaly when she came back from school, I gave her a warm bath, she was afraid at first thinking the water on her neck was going to be painful but felt much better and happier when I gently massaged her neck with the warm water.
She said it felt relaxing and better as I rubbed and washed away the dead skin. She said it did not cause her pain when I cleaned it.
The warm bath relaxed her a lot.
How is she behaving during this problem, what is your observation e.g. irritable, restless, quieter etc.
She is anxious and worried about how it looks, what people and other children will say if they see it, she wonders when it will get better, after I reassure her she feels better and forgets about it for a little while.
She doesn't like anything touching her neck, is it due to eczema or she has always been like this and doesn't like anything around her neck
She is ok normally it is just the eczema she doesn't like her clothing/coat/scarf touching it at the moment.
She doesn't mind me cleaning and moisturising her neck and face, it makes her feel better.
This picture is after I gave her a bath and cleaned her neck, and put some oil on it.

It looks much cleaner and better but by the morning will be the same dark scaly dry skin.
2 years ago these were her exact symptoms but they were all around her eye area. This stayed for roughly 2 months and went away on its own.
I think it was the change to a new school and anxious waiting during the summer holidays that caused it then.
Once she settled in she was fine and it had gone until now.
Thank you

Thanks for the pics.
What was happening in her life when it all started e.g. change of school, death of someone close etc.
So the eczema is anxiety driven.
Did you do any treatment for the outburst 2 yrs ago, if yes, what.
Washing it with warm water gives her relief?
Why doesn't she like the clothes touching her eczema, what does it do.

When my daughter was born she was a healthy happy baby, then around the age of 2 she started getting the pink eczema patch around the creases of her elbows,behind her knees,wrist and around her eyes.
It was really pink and sore looking and itchy then. It came from nowhere and covered her whole body, it stayed for around 6 months from beginning to end and then on its own cleared up within two weeks, just disappeared. We tried the usual anti histamine, emollient creams as well as herbal medicine.
Then at the age of 4+ she started a new year at school after nursery and the eczema arrived again, it started around her eyes and in the creases of her arms, knees wrist. Very similar symptoms dry scaly skin very pink raw looking around her eyes and jus itchy on her arms and legs.
It lasted about 2-3 months and we tried homeopathy. I don't know what medicine she was given as it's been a long time. Again it cleared up on its own, within 2 weeks it jus disappeared.
Then at the age of 7 she started junior school, she was anxious about new teachers and new environment.
The eczema started as soon as the first week of school started, same as above really red scaly dry eye area, when washed with warm water and moisturised feels clean and better. It lasted for 2 months and then as she settled in it disappeared within 2weeks.
We used the same moisturising and anti histamine medication but it doesn't really help.
Now she is 10 years old
There has not been any major change in her life except last week she has been given the job of the school d.j
It's a big responsibility and she has been chosen so she is excited.
Also I feel she is physically developing at the moment, growing taller.
Today her eyes are feeling very sensitive and look slightly darker and the skin feels sensitive to touch if u put your finger over them. Her neck isn't as scaly and dry as it was yesterday. It is still darker and leathery looking.

It lasted about 2-3 months and we tried homeopathy. I don't know what medicine she was given as it's been a long time. Again it cleared up on its own, within 2 weeks it jus disappeared.
Then at the age of 7 she started junior school, she was anxious about new teachers and new environment.
The eczema started as soon as the first week of school started, same as above really red scaly dry eye area, when washed with warm water and moisturised feels clean and better. It lasted for 2 months and then as she settled in it disappeared within 2weeks.
We used the same moisturising and anti histamine medication but it doesn't really help.
Now she is 10 years old
There has not been any major change in her life except last week she has been given the job of the school d.j
It's a big responsibility and she has been chosen so she is excited.
Also I feel she is physically developing at the moment, growing taller.
Today her eyes are feeling very sensitive and look slightly darker and the skin feels sensitive to touch if u put your finger over them. Her neck isn't as scaly and dry as it was yesterday. It is still darker and leathery looking.

What was happening in her life when it all started e.g. change of school, death of someone close etc.
Last two times it was change of school/class and she gets anxious wether she will be able to cope, even though she is one of the most capable students in her class. Maybe she feels nervous but is excited and wants to move on.
So the eczema is anxiety driven
I think maybe it is. She is excited but feels nervous inside n worries about things .( I have those characteristics as her mother so she may have inherited them)
Did you do any treatment for the outburst 2 yrs ago, if yes, what.
she didn't have any homeopathic treatment then it was the same antihistamine and moisturising of dry skin.
Washing it with warm water gives her relief?
Yes warm water makes it feel and look clean, even around her eyes it's the same. Then her skin looks much better.
Why doesn't she like the clothes touching her eczema, what does it do.
When her skin is very scaly around her neck she doesn't like it touching her clothes etc she said her skin feels crispy and overly hot around her clothes and rough.
Today it's not very scaly so she wore a cotton scarf around her neck and it felt fine, also it has not weeped today, it just looks leathery and dark.

DONT TAKE ANY MORE DOSE OR ANY OTHER REMEDY UNLESS I TELL YOU.

FYI, I expect aggravation in the eczema before it clears up.
If after the first dose, you can see aggravation, don't take the 2nd dose.

Thank you for your input it is much appreciated. Is the remedy also known as CALCAREA CARBONICUM 200c
I will have to order it online so will need a few days before I can give it to my daughter.
I just wanted to make sure I have got the right remedy as that is what is written on the website.
I will order it and try the first dose then get back to you as soon as I can. Do you want me to keep you upto date with any changes in the meantime?
Regards
