So as if I didn't have things to do, I decided to check out other boards and I clicked on a couple at random. One post about eczema stood out,  all the moms are recommending aquafor (esp?), mustella, and aveeno baby eczema, OTC steroid creams and vaseline

Don't you wish sometimes you could shake people by the shoulders and all you can do is bite your tongue? Non of my IRL friends are green and nontoxic like I am so after so many eyes rolls I stopped trying to "educate" them, but boy does my tongue hurts from all the biting!

I hate unsolicited advice, so my policy is live and let live.  There are so many people out there who do things that are...not great (some of my best friends don't even recycle!!!  wtf?!?!) but I never say anything.  I just try to lead by e

Why is Eczema so common now? That's what I want to know. I don't think I ever even heard of it until 10 years ago, now it seems like everyone has it to one degree or another...
