The hot weather is not helping a bit in my son’s skin asthma condition. The allergy go off both in very cold and very hot weather. It first manifested during our stay in Baguio City November of last year. It took us a few months to heal the red scaly patches and it took half a year for the white scars and blotches to fade.
My son suffered from itchy skin inflammation which covered his face, neck, arms and chest. When it was going down his legs, we finally brought him to the dermatologist who gave him allergy relief treatment. He also gave us tips on what to do so the asthma won’t attack again when it’s finally healed.
Parenting is tried more when your child experience sickness and pains. It was more a torture for me than him whenever I see him painfully bearing the effects of the asthma physically and even emotionally. Emotionally because the scars left an eczema-like look and for this, his classmates and playmates would tease him ‘ugly.’ I wanted to scold those kids who bully him for his skin but I know it’s not the right thing to do. What I did was to prep my son and made him feel special despite what others were saying about his skin. Thank God, after some months, the scars faded and his confidence came back.
Most of the times, I don’t know how to be a parent but I guess it’s true that it’s a skill that suddenly become handy to mothers like me without attending crash courses on the topic. Parenting is mysterious, a wonderful gift.
