Genetic inheritance
Ever since my son was born, he’s been the spitting image of his father—it’s almost like my husband was reborn, hahaha. I think if I look closely, the only thing that might resemble me is the shape of his eyes—but just the shape, not even the color, haha. But there’s something I’ve noticed over the years: he didn’t just inherit his father’s physical traits—he also inherited his problems, his allergies, and his sensitive skin, haha.
In that photo, for example, you can see the resemblance—my husband on the left and my son on the right. But what’s most concerning right now is that my son, who’s only 8 years old, is already suffering from pretty severe facial allergies. A dermatologist told us about this a long time ago, but we didn’t think it would show up so soon. Fortunately, we’ve been treating the condition and are seeing a slight improvement; the allergy is gradually coming under control.
As the dermatologist told us, her allergy will either get worse or improve depending on many factors, the most important of which is the weather; if it’s hot, she’ll break out a lot, and that’s exactly what we’ve noticed—her symptoms get much worse when it’s hot, and we’re stuck in this sweltering heat almost every day.
In addition to her allergies, she also has very dry skin and needs constant moisturizing; otherwise, as you can see in the photo, she gets a white patch on her face… We’ve been applying a cream prescribed by the doctor that works really well but is SUPER expensive—it’s called Cetaphil.
And not only did he inherit that, but he also has a deviated septum… Oh! And he’ll be wearing glasses soon since my husband and I are nearsighted and my son is already starting to show signs of nearsightedness, haha—at least I can take a little credit for that, right?.
