Am considering ordering the BATH BALL or the CUZN BATH BALL to reduce the amount of chlorine in our bath water.
Can anyone offer their opinion on these items?
Thanks. Want to purchase by end of week.
I’m sorry not to be able to provide info on BATH BALL and at the risk of sounding tactless, want to ask you – have you considered homeopathy? It does have a good track record with eczema, if you use classical homeopath (somebody with letters CCH after the last name) that is.
Good luck with whatever method you choose!

my son is a year old and has eczema... we had to take him to see his doctor, and she perscribed him with 1%hydrocortisone cream ( i would just buy it at like walmart or target) and then when we give my son a bath,and then rub the cortisone cream all over while he is still damp, and then try to lotion him down really good (aveeno lotion is good for eczema)the dr told us the key to getting rid of eczema is locking in the moisture right after giving a bath
hope this helps :]
Hi Ana,
My son recently had some eczema. The doctor said not to give him baths - do short showers, not too long and don't bathe every day. I use Aveeno Bath Oil on my son after bath or shower while he's wet and when his skin is bad, I put it on him at bedtime then put his pajamas over. This helped a great deal.
Good luck.
Eczema is usually caused by something going on inside the body not the outside. He/She is either eating something that his body does not agree with or lacks something in his body that he needs. Just like when we get a pimple. It is caused from something inside us and not on the outside. My oldest had eczema on her face until I stopped nursing her. Nothing that I put on her skin worked. I ate a lot of walnuts and pecans while I nursed her. Well what do you know, she was allergic to those nuts. We are now a nut free house. My friend suffered from eczema her entire life. She had a bad patch on her arm until her 30's. Her son had it on his face while she nursed him. Her body was lacking certain nutrients because it disappeared within a week of drinking Monavie an antioxidant health beverage. Her babies eczema went away just through her breast milk. She needed the extra antioxidants that she was not getting. If you would like to talk to her then send me an e-mail. But again, I tried all sorts of skin products and nothing worked until I changed my childs diet.
Good luck and feel free to contact me with any questions.

If you do indeed have too much chlorine in your water, you might try a filter
The AllPure shower filter removes dirt, sediment, chlorine, and odors from your shower - http://allpurewater.com/pages/showerfilter.html
Also, fish oil supplements will help the eczema.
Good Morning Ana,
Eczema and other skin conditions are a symptom of allergies.
I recommend that you log onto site NAET.com. NAET.com is a group of allergists around the world who treat and elimiate allergies.
I am 37 years old and have had severe allergies my entire life. I am currently seeing an NAET allergist once a week to treat and elimiate my allergies. And it is working.
NAET allergists are the Only allergists in the world who eliminate allergies. And drug free!
I have had skin problems my entire life and I found out this past year that I am allergic to sodium, fluoride, iodine, all of which can be found in tap water and most waters. In order to remedy this is to elimiate the allergy, because things like the items listed above are in almost everything including water, so avoidance will not work. Elimination of the allergy is the remedy for this.
You may contact me at ____@____.com, I can answer any questions you may have, but I recommend that you log onto site NAET.com and locate an allergist near your home and make an appointment for allergy testing.
Be Well.

But what are you doing about the eczema? First off, do you know what foods are causing it? The typical ones are wheat, dairy, eggs, soy.
Second, what are you putting on the skin to help it. I hope the first choice is not steroids. This will not help in the long run and thins the skin. I have so been down this path.
I became a Sensaria representative for this reason for my daughter who had severe eczema. We replaced all soap with the body wash, applied Freshening Mist and the Nourishing Moisturizer in the beginning when it was really bad and now she has normal skin and uses the regular Sensaria body lotion. No more eczema. There is a one year guarantee on everything and I offer a 20% discount to first time customers. Who else has those two?
btw - the body wash, pour it straight into the water and it makes bubbles, helps to soften the water and my daughter could stay in the water for an hour at a time if she wanted. Used it on her hair when she was younger too.
Not fun. Good idea on removing the chlorine.
Hi Ana,
Limiting the amount of chlorine in your showers etc. is a great start.
Some foods can cause skin reactions. Processed foods with MSG and sugary drinks with high fructose corn syrup can cause lots of problems in a childs behavior and skin issues over a period of time.
You should also consider the ingredients in your laundry, skin care products, etc., that you use on your son. Many can contain ingredients that are skin irritants. One such ingredient is formaldehyde, and is used under the trade name Quaternium-15. It can cause contact dermatitis. This ingredient is found in baby shampoos, lotions, etc. and there are many other ingredients in your laundry products that can cause skin irritations.
Hi Ana, my name is C. I am the mother of Riley 16 months old, he too has Eczema. I just started noticing it about 4 months ago. I asked his Pediatrician what I should do for it and, she recemeded using Aveeno. let me tell you it's awesome. his skin has never felt or looked better. if you have already tried this then you might look in to getting a water softing system. it will reduse the ammount of chlorine and it helpes with hard water. it will make the skin keep it's moisture and help prevent dry skin.
I hope I was able to help you. Good luck to you!

I have lived with eczema all my life and have passed it on to my children. The key is to keep skin constantly moisturized. My ped has instructed me to give fewer baths to the kids and not to use hot water. The use of cetaphil as a mild cleanser works as well.
The lotion that I found that tremendously helps with eczema is emu lotion. It is rather expensive, but definitely helps me and the kids deal with the symptoms. I've been able to find the lotion at Henry's and a local Health Food Store.
I've tried other homeopathic remedies (Evening Primrose Oil, other oil type capsules) on myself and haven't found any that have worked.
Ana : )
I have no idea, really about the BATH BALL or the CUZN BATH BALL to reduce chlorine, let me know if they work. I do know that Melaleuca has a lotion, Renew, that works wonderfully on Eczema, better than the prescribed lotions. It will soften and ease the dry itch on your child's, and your skin!
If you are interested, I'd be happy to share some with you.
