DermaSilk - Sam's story

Meet Sam.

He was one of the first people in the UK to try DermaSilk Therapeutic Clothing.

Sam was 3 years of age and had been suffering from eczema all over his body since he was a month old. His regular medication included Protopic® Ointment, Dermovate® Cream, 50/50 white paraffin and liquid paraffin mix and cetirizine antihistamine.

For the case study he used DermaSilk pyjamas and gloves.

Sam's mother Sandra:

"The improvement in Sam's skin over the past 14 days has been fantastic. Except for the time that Sam was in hospital having intensive treatment, I don't think I have seen his skin looking so good. Even my family have commented on how good he is looking. He is sleeping so much better at night which makes him happier during the day".

"Sam has not objected to wearing the pyjamas 24/7, and he even makes sure that I don't forget to put clean ones on when I change him. Although he has worn his gloves a few times it has been difficult keeping them on him. Because of this, and that he has not had any DermaSilk socks to wear, you can actually see the improvement the clothing has made compared to his hands and feet".

Update:

 Sam is now 7 years old and a well behaved little boy at school. Since being introduced to DermaSilk he has never been wet wrapped once.

His emollient use is now 40% less than before and his flares are milder and less frequent.

He's on his third set of DermaSilk garments, which he wears to school without complaint.
