Isn’t that why there’s that expression, “smooth as a baby’s bottom?” But it turns out that babies deal with a ton of skin issues. Some of them are mostly cosmetic (like baby acne and cradle cap), but others require treatment (like eczema). I was hoping that my baby would inherit her father’s skin instead of mine, but it seems that I might have passed down my eczema to her. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/pipette-baby-balm-review/ Mon, 20 Jun 2022 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/pipette-baby-balm-review/ I never quite know what’s going to trigger an eczema flareup, but I do know that treating the early signs of a flareup makes a huge difference for me. Whenever I start getting small cracks in my hands, I know I can’t just follow my regular regimen (slathering on Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion at night and rarely moisturizing throughout the day) and expect things to miraculously get better. I need to up my game so that my skin doesn’t start to freak out. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/seventh-generation-fragrance-free-hand-soap-vs-presto-review/ Sat, 18 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/seventh-generation-fragrance-free-hand-soap-vs-presto-review/ Choosing a gentle hand soap is very important for keeping hand eczema under control. Unfortunately, many liquid hand soaps contain dyes and fragrances, which can aggravate your skin for no good reason. Bar soaps can be a good alternative, since it’s often easier to find a fragrance-free bar soap than a fragrance-free liquid hand soap. But if you’re looking for a gentle, effective liquid hand soap that won’t aggravate your skin, look no further than Seventh Generation Free & Clean Fragrance-Free Hand Soap—and its copycat, Amazon Presto! https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/green-goo-dry-skin-salve-eczema-review/ Wed, 05 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/green-goo-dry-skin-salve-eczema-review/ As someone who’s always had hand eczema, I can’t imagine life without it. It gets worse during periods of stress or when I’m living in a place with a dry climate. It gets better when I’m taking care of myself and living in a more humid environment. But it’s always there, lurking in the background. Over the years, I’ve come to realize that a few intermediary measures can go a long way in keeping flareups at bay. https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/best-products-hand-eczema/ Tue, 12 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.mydadthechemist.com/reviews/best-products-hand-eczema/ Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had chronic hand eczema. I don’t know every single trigger that could cause a flareup, but I have come to recognize some of them over the years. I wanted to share six products that help me manage my hand eczema flareups by reducing contact with these particular triggers. These products worked for me, and I hope they’ll work for you, too (but no promises).
