About two years ago, he was having an acute episode, with approx 20 wet lesions over his body and legs. After doing some research on the internet, I came across a cream which a lady was using in America, which had excellent results. After trying so many things to help my son (including chinese herbs!) I was obviously very wary. I managed to find the ingredients in the cream and spoke to a pharmacist who I work with(I am a district nurse). The only active ingredients in the cream were urea and hydrocortisone which were found in a cream called %26quot;Alphaderm%26quot;. I tried this on my son, who was 8 at the time and within 3 days all his lesions were dry!.It is 2 years later, he gets a small flair-up now and again, but we apply the cream straight away and it just goes. I also believe that certain food additives affect his skin, but as yet have not been able to establish which ones.I have prescribed this cream to some of my patients and have had excellent results. Hope this helps.|||My sis use to have it before she moved out and she went to the doc... the steroids may be effective, prolonged or over use will cause skin atrophy which weakens the skin and leads to frail skin later in life.

Propolis can reduce the redness of the skin irritation.
