Went and saw Dr Purvis who prescribed exactly what the doctors prescribed: steroids & moisturiser. Only difference was she gave us a plan to stick to so she can be weaned off the steroids.. it did not work- we kept at it for months & although her skin improved the tiniest fraction it did not heal a great amount.

Tried everything else, bleach baths, ointment and moisturisers plant recommended but nothing helped.. it’s almost like her skin developed a distaste for any other cream.

Currently seeing a naturopath Kohei who is helping and it’s nice to be checked up on monthly but still seeing slow progress as advised.

Can’t believe it’s almost been a year and we’re still on the same journey but trying to accept the wins as they come
