A motherhood challenge...

Hello steemian!

Meet my son, Samuel. He just had his first birthday last July. He is a very adorable kid. My life has totally changed when he came into this world.

When he was two weeks old, I noticed rushes on his face. I did not pay attention to it, it was summer and maybe it was only caused from a warm weather.
Days went by so fast the rushes got worst. His face turned really red then his scalp was covered with dandruff. The rushes spreaded to his stomach and legs.

Samuel at 5 months old...

It's really heartbreaking seeing him suffering. We brought him to a skin specialist for children and there we found out that he has eczema. We learned that it is an inherited disease and eventually he will just outgrown it.

He is now 18 months old. He's been taking medication since then. The eczema come and go and when it come, it's even worst as it had before. He scratched his skin to the point that it bleeds. Asked me if I have a good sleep since he got that disease?.... ah ah ah! Our medicine cabinet is already full of different kinds of skin care because I just grabbed anything in the store I thought will make him better.

Sometimes you just felt very helpless. If I can only take that suffering away from him.

Any mom out there who has the same experience? Pls share. I would love to hear from you....
