Testimonial for Hypoallergenic Balm, and discussion on Fusicort, Alphacort and DEO Fresh

Hypoallergenic Face and Body Balm 250gram

Hi ,

Thank you for letting me know the good results you have had. As the balm is totally non-toxic and can be used safely on any part of the body I would continue to use it on his face and under his chin at night to protect the skin while he is still drooling and teething.

See how this goes and you can always reapply it more often if his skin starts to get red/dry. Many people find applying it after a feed and at night works well but you are in the best position to judge by the appearance of his skin.

Keep the Alphacort in case of flareups as these often happen after a mild illness like a cold. It seems that about a week to 2 weeks after a mild illness, children who have had eczema often break out again.

As I am not familiar with the Repair cream I would try a little test using the balm on one leg 3 times a day and the Repair cream according to it's directions on the other leg. This will show you which is best for your son.

DEO Fresh
The DEO fresh is safe for young children, just spray it into the shoes when he takes them off and they will dry overnight odor free. Although the product can also be sprayed directly on the feet for adults, I would not recommend this for children as the product contains alcohol and could be too drying.

The alcohol dries out overnight so is not a problem in the morning when he puts his shoes on again. You can certainly buy the DEO fresh over the internet from us, I will look up the price including post and let you know. (I am at home at the moment.)

Thanks again for letting me know your results and I look forward to hearing how the leg heals up.

Kind Regards, David Hosking.

Hi David,

I just want to give you an updates on my son skin condition after 1 week using your Hypo allergenic balm (I also applied fusicort once a day as per your advised). The result is really amazing. The rashes in his chin and face are completely gone. My son face is back to normal (clear, white and smooth happy baby face). The original face he has when he was born. Thank you David. I know your balm is the major contributor of this excellent result. The whole family are so happy, my husband immediately took pictures of my baby.

Yesterday, I brought him to his dermatologist for follow-up check up. The doctor and the nurses were all amazed with the great improvement. His doctor told me to stop applying the fusicort and he prescribed new cream "Alfacort (with 1" hydrocortisone). He said use this cream when needed only (if the rashes/eczema flares up again).

For his legs where there is still dryness & some rough skin (but no more rashes), he gave us another cream "REPAIR" made from Netherlands. It is a special cream for dry skin. His instruction is to use the cream once a day only. He said after 3 weeks bring the baby again follow up check-up.

Now I need your advise David. Will I continue the balm in his face & chin even now that it is completely clear. Although My son is still drooling (his chin is always wet with his saliva, he is 7 mos. (months) & in stage of teething although I can not see any sign of teeth coming out).

What about in his dry legs, is it safe to continue applying the balm in case I will use the new cream "Repair" the dermatologist gave us.

I did not apply any of the new creams the doctor prescribed us yesterday. I want to hear your advise first. All we are using now is your hypo allergenic balm only. I am very satisfied with it.

PS I am planning to place my 2nd order (hypo allergenic face & body balm) next month for my stock. In your website you mentioned about the "DEO Fresh" to be spray inside the shoes. Is this available in your pharmacy and can be ordered also thru internet? Is this safe for young kids? My 7 years old son who is wearing school shoes the whole day has smelly feet after removing his shoes.

Hope to hear from you soon.
God Bless.

Hi ......,

You can certainly apply the balm along with the fusicort. For best results apply the fusicort first thing in the morning then apply the balm 3-4 times during the day and extra thickly at night.

As Fusicort contains the antibiotic fusidic acid and cortisone it will definitely give almost immediate results. Once the skin is back to normal use the fusicort every second day for 1 week before stopping it to AVOID the FLARE-UP that often occurs 2-3 days after stopping a CORTISONE containing product.

Continue using the balm as a protective and apply more often any time the skin starts to look dry.
Kind Regards, David Hosking.

Dear David,

My 7 months old baby gets rashes/eczema since he was 2 months old. we brought him to different dermatologist. Each dermatologist is precribing diffrent creams, some even prescribed steroids. I also tried "Fxxxxxx dermatitis cream" but sad to say it did not completely cured my son's rashes/eczema.

Three weeks ago I found your product through the internet and immediately I placed my order. I received the product "Hyporallergenic Face & body balm" the other day.

But before I received your product, I brought my son to the dermatologist becasue of his chin rashes caused by drooling (teething) and his eczema were flared-up. He gave my son skin antibiotic (fusicort) to be applied once a day to the affected area and zyrtec to be given before bedtime.

Now, I want to know, Can I apply your product "Hyporallergenic Face & body balm" even I am giving him this fusicort. Or I need to stop fusicort and use your product only. I am using the fusicort only for 2 days now. The dermatologist told us to used it for 1 week and then return the baby to him.

Please advise.
