Elica : First line of Defense for Eczema

We mothers are the most affected when our children are suffering and we can’t do anything about it.

We do everything in our power to protect them, and yet there are thing that we can’t control.  Just like my daughter’s case; she is suffering from skin attack whenever the heat strikes or if there’s something that her skin is allergic of; like rushes and inflammation or other skin attacks

One of the samples of skin attack is eczema. Eczema is characterized by red, dry, itchy rashes on the skin. It is more common in children than in adults (. Yes, adult also suffers from these itches but if we can tolerate it; it’s not the same case when it comes to our children). It can also have a huge negative impact on a kid’s life, like sleep deprivation.

Celebrity or not, we mothers are just the same. We want our children to have a good night sleep (sweet dreams is all we as for) such is the case for celebrity mom Cheska Garcia-Kramer and her daughter Scarlett. According to Cheska, Scarlett used to cry at night because of her itchy rashes. But after their doctor recommended mometasone furoate or Elica, a topical steroid from Bayer Philippines, both mom and child saw results within 24 hours. The peaceful rests returned and since then, both mother and daughter have had sweet dreams.

“Our pediatrician recommended Elica and it really helped relieve Scarlett of the itch, redness and swelling because of her eczema,” Cheska said.“Scar couldn’t sleep talaga when she gets eczema flare-ups kasi it’s so itchy and she keeps on scratching,” Cheska said.

Cheska shared her daughter’s itch story in the “Sweet Dreams with Mometasone furoate (Elica)” launch on August 19, 2015 at Ascott, Bonifacio Global City, where both she and Scarlett were revealed as the newest celebrity endorsers for Elica.  During the event, the causes of Eczema and how it could negatively impact children were discussed.

Eczema flare-ups can be triggered by several factors, including dust mites, family pets, heat or harsh soaps. “These triggers should be controlled in order to avoid the symptoms of eczema,” Dr. Lyra Yamat iterated.

 “Eczema should be treated immediately, because it can affect a child’s self-esteem, social activities and of course, sleep,” Dr. Yamat further explained.

 Flare-ups may require more than just moisturizers and in such instances, a fast and powerful treatment is needed. Elica, a topical steroid, is considered to be the first line of defense for eczema. It can help relieve eczema symptoms with visible results in 24 hours, and needs only to be applied once daily, unlike most topical steroids that are applied twice a day. Moreover, clinical studies have demonstrated Elica’s efficacy and safety profile. Elica has also been recommended and prescribed by doctors for many years.

When Eczema strikes, use the effective treatment of Elica and see results in 24 hours, so that both kids and moms can sleep tight.

Elica comes in cream and ointment formats, available over-the-counter without doctor’s presciption. For more information on Elica, go to www.treateczema.ph or visit www.facebook.com/ElicaPH.
