        My 5 month old grandson has patches of dry, itchy, irritated eczema on his face. When my son (his dad) was a baby he had the same thing. I remember the dr. giving me a steroid cream which worked great but I wonder about side effects …. there’s gotta be some awesome plant that would be good for this … Right? Just wondering if you could recommend something that would take it away other than steroid creams! Thanks! 🙂

          Patrick teaches that MOST skin issues originate due to liver overload and/or nutrition and/or stress issues. Tell your grandson to quit stressing out about being a kid. 🙄

              The ‘ol Calendula, marshmallow, comfrey lotion would probably be very soothing and help it heal.

              Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
