I am 15 years old and I have been suffering from eczema most of all my life. I had it when I was a baby until I was about 3 to 4 years old. It just started up again when I was in 7th grade, I am now in 10th. It has been severe from when it started and it still is. I’ve tried everything, all the creams, all the pills, nothing helps it. Recently in a paper I read an article on Oolong tea, and how it helps over 80% of people with severe eczema. I’ve been searching stores, regular grocery stores to those health food stores that carry just about every healthy thing you can think of, besides of coarse Oolong tea. Just yesterday I found a few boxes at the grocery store under the special order section. I’ve drank about 4 glasses of it since, I haven’t been itching, as bad. But it still is itchy. I’ll drink it for a while and see how it works. I’m to the point where i’ll try anything. I am sorry that your baby has eczema, it is a real pain to deal with. Hopefully he’ll grow out of it. Good Luck.
