In an earlier testimony, I shared about the terrible eczema condition of my eldest son when he was 18 years of age. Unlike my eldest son whose condition only worsened when he was in his teens, my youngest son suffered terribly from it since birth.
He had eczema all over his body and even on his face. He could not sleep every night waking us up all the time in the early morning. I could not manage and I had to hire 2 domestic helpers to help us tend to him round the clock in bathing him and applying moisturizing cream often throughout the whole day.
One day, one of the domestic helpers even fainted due to exhaustion taking care of him.
We tried several methods of easing his pain so that he could have a good night’s sleep such as having him putting on one set of wet pajamas and another set of dry clothes over it, or sewing specially made pajamas that did not allow him to scratch his body. All specialist treatment then were ineffective.
We could only turn to God to plead for His healing in desperation when it was really unbearable for us to see him suffering at such a young age. All praise and thanks to the Lord that his face and his body were cleared of eczema except his knees and elbows very soon which allowed him to sleep right through the night. (We thanked God for forgiving our weakness in faith as well for not going to Him in the very first instance.)
By the grace of God since his stressful toddling days, his eczema has been contained and confined to knees only which are controlled well with moisturizing cream today. He can even participate in field sports and rigorous training now.
