Why Atopic Eczema

Mo suffered from eczema as a child which later returned when he was in his late thirties and therefore put on the usual greasy petroleum-based moisturisers, topical steroids and anti-biotics when there was a flare up.

However, Mo’s own condition was not what motivated him to researching and developing his own product. His eldest child had severe eczema from early childhood. By the age of 22 years, his condition was still uncontrolled, and the family observed repeat cycles of topical steroids, greasy emollients, courses of anti-biotics, only offered temporary relief and the eczema would flare up as soon as the steroid use was stopped.

As any parent with a child diagnosed with eczema knows, the impact of eczema is far greater than the skin condition itself. This ailment has an impact on the child through each phase of their life. In childhood, it’s the constant crying and unable to sleep, causing suffering not just for child but the parents too. In teenage years, young people become very self-aware of their condition and how they are ‘different’ from their peers. Teenage years are probably the most important for eczema sufferers because it can affect a young person’s self-esteem, confidence, ability to concentrate, academic achievements, forming relationships etc. If not treated and managed effectively, their condition could influence their personality and social interactions later in life.
