Wins Against Eczema: The Power of Colostrum

My son has struggled with mild but persistent eczema since he was around 4 months old. I have spent many hours trying to hypothesize the likely numerous factors contributing to this, as well as various ways to heal his dry, red skin. After implementing many of these approaches (which I will talk about another day), it was at the point where his skin was entirely clear if he was at home, but the dry red patches would return immediately when he goes to daycare. Nothing I tried seemed to help, until now.
