My daughter suffers from childhood eczema and psoriasis, she is only 10 years old. I can only imagine how embarassing this is for her and how itchy this is. She scratches her head so much that it starts to bleed. The patches on her scalp, even as her mother, is gross to look at. Almost like cradle cap on a newborn child. It bothers her so much so that she does not like putting her hair up because it exposes the back part of her ears and the nape of her neck which has some white flakes. I have tried all kinds of treatments for her and none have been as successful as the regimen I am doing now with her.
How can you treat childhood eczema and psoriasis without using medication and medicated creams? There is no one definite solution as each child is different. But, this is something I have been doing that works.
What types of natural products did not work to solve my child’s eczema/psoriasis problem?
melaleuca or tea tree oil =has not given us positive results. It is very harsh on the scalp and does not provided the needed oils to nourish her dry, itchy scalp. We also tried using it in a diluted form such as shampoo, and also used it in organic shampoos with no luck
ACV or Apple Cider Vinegar treatments as suggested by many on the internet. Nope, no positive results there for eczema.
Aveeno oatmeal soap=nope does not help her at all as well.
Some people may have great results with the above mentioned, but, we have not
What does work for childhood eczema and psoriasis?
Coconut oil, pure and simple as that. Yes, why did I not try this earlier on my daughter’s psoriasis. I purchased some pure virgin coconut oil and dab it on her scalp them massage the oils into her scalp. This stays on all day. She washes her hair at night, although the oil is still in her hair this has been a positive for us. 
Pure Henna – Although it is not recommended that children use henna on their scalp, Henna is something that has been helpful for my scalp and I knew it wouldn’t be harmful for my child. Be sure to check with your Dr. before using henna on your child. I do not recommend this, but it has made my daughter’s hair beautiful and scalp healthy I am going to do this once every two months. I would rather her get something natural than harmful medication that Dr.’s will probably prescribe for her instead.
