Please read my review, as I hope it helps others dealing with severe skin conditions. I hope Warren Laboratories stays in business for a very, very, very long time. My son has a severe peanut allergy, and apparently with allergies comes eczema (skin condition that causes open sores). We've used steroids with limited results, and we don't like using it very much nor does my son as it's a pretty strong medicine. For some reason, my memory was triggered and I remembered my Japanese mother growing aloe plants and using them on us when we had an injury or received a burn (happens when you grow up on a farm). I wasn't thinking of prevention, but healing his open sores that were getting pretty bad--on his arms, behind his legs, on his feet, and on his inner thighs. (He is entering his teenage years, and is obviously very sensitive about his skin. The kids at school always ask why he wears long pants, and not shorts like they do in school and after school). Long story short, I came across "George's Aloe" and thought what the heck, can't hurt. It's a natural product and worth a try. I also read that Aloe is a natural antihistimine. We've been using it for a week on our son, and the results are very positive. It hasn't prevented the outbreaks, but it has diminished them noticeably. I would say upwards of 80% improvement. The spring is the worst time for my son, and it's been very manageable. My wife and I have noticed a significant improvement in his condition and he drinks a small glass of George's Aloe every morning. I tried it, and it indeed does take like water. Read the directions, though, as you don't need much. I've since supplemented the 'internal' treatment with an external treatment of the actual aloe plant rubbed on the outside of his body (arms, legs, feet, etc.). You basically just cut off a very small part of the leaf, and it's a gel inside. I rub that on his sores, pimples, and Hives and paired with the Aloe juice, has had a dramatic effect, a definite improvement for the better. My son is much more relaxed of late, and very happy with the results. It's not perfect by any means, but he itches a LOT less and he doesn't have the open weeping sores that he had before. Again, it's not perfect, but a huge improvement. I think for others in the same situation, it's worth a try. I would just make sure there isn't some sort of allergy to it--but I've never heard of an allergic reaction to Aloe. Finally, my wife has tried a lot of remedies on my son: lotions, aforementioned steroids, hot showers followed by vaseline to keep the moisture in, etc., and none of them has had the same noticeable positive effect as Warren Laboratories "George's Aloe". A very enthusiastic and strong 5 Stars for this product. I hope you find a use for it, too
