It all started when my son was just two years old. He was diagnosed with eczema, and like many families, we followed the traditional route: topical steroids. At first, it seemed to help — but soon we found ourselves trapped in a painful cycle. We would use them, his skin would get better, we would stop, and the flare-ups would come back stronger. Over and over.

By 2020, we were deep in it. His skin had become fragile, and his suffering was unbearable. I searched everywhere for help, but every answer left me feeling dismissed, confused, and very alone. Nights were long and painful. He cried in his sleep, and I sat beside him, holding his hands so he wouldn’t scratch himself raw. Every product we tried only seemed to make things worse — stinging, burning, or causing more discomfort. Nothing felt safe. Nothing felt right. That’s when I made the decision to find another way.
