hello dear Leah and Aussie, I just wanted to make sure that your daughter doesn't get sunburned - it's the most painful thing to endure when you have PLC. Again, doctor's recommendations are 15 min. of unprotected sunlight (preferably early in the day) then slather them with the highest SPF, waterproof sunscreen. I forgot to tell you that the creams and/or ointments that are prescribed by doctors are not good for PLC - they plug your pores and make the itch worse. Using Aveeno in the bath dries the skin too much. Use the bathing gloves on them at night so they don't scratch and I use Vicks Vaporub on my PLC when the itch is unbearable. It works! The cool reaction of the vicks on the hot and itchy PLC. The best cream I found (always keep their skin moisturized) is Eucerine Original Formula. It's water-based and light enough not to block the pores. That's it for now! Regards, Linda |
