The Eczema Kid
My daughter, Daniela, and I stood in line at her daycare to pick up her yearly photos. The mom in front of us held the photos of her daughter, who had long blonde curls, in the air and shrieked, "These are gorgeous! Aw, you look so cute, sweetie," and kissed her perfect little angel. As the two walked away smiling, the photographer nodded:
"Yep, she'll be a model one day!"
We were next. The saleswoman dug through the stack of large envelopes and pulled up the one with my child's name.
"Daniela, the eczema kid!" she exclaimed, pointing at the photo revealing the red blotches on her cheeks and arms. I gasped. She leaned closer to me, attempting to whisper," You know, we can do a photo touch-up to remove those spots for just an extra $6!"
Her voice could easily be heard at the end of the hallway. I looked at my five-year-old. As always, she paid no attention to comments about her skin. She just stood next to me scratching her arm until it started to bleed.
"No, thank you, the photo looks fine the way it is," I replied.
I hastily grabbed the photos, took Daniela's hand, and quickly walked away.

What a Difference
After a couple of weeks into her treatment plan, I noticed Daniela’s bloody wounds beginning to heal and no new ones appeared. Another week later her red inflamed blotches started to disappear and those stubborn rough patches slowly became softer. The new cream I put on her body did not immediately soak in, and the itchiness was less intense. One Sunday night, I realized that the last time I’d given her anti-itch medicine was three days ago since she was not scratching! She also started to sleep longer stretches at night.
Two months later, it felt like we had a different child. For the first time in five years, the redness was completely gone and her skin felt soft like that of a healthy child. The itchiness had mostly disappeared. Seeing my child not scratching felt like a different reality. For the next few months, I did not take my eyes off her and panicked when she tried to scratch a mosquito bite, thinking that her eczema was coming back. But it didn’t!
There were many other firsts that summer. She splashed in the pool without crying and played in the ocean with a big smile on her face instead of screaming as soon as the salty water touched her skin. The first night she slept through to the morning in her own bed, I woke up at 5 a.m., confused. I ran to her room, thinking something terrible had happened. I found her sleeping peacefully with her arms behind her head.
All three of us started to have dreams at night, something we hadn’t experienced for a long while due to the interrupted sleep. Dreams were a new concept for Daniela, who excitedly described what she “did last night.”
