Avatar f tn Otherwise it can be due to eczema, nummular eczema, tinea infection (fungal), pressure urticaria or due to insect bite as in Lyme’s. Please consult a skin specialist for confirmed diagnosis. Take care!
784419 tn?1236261756 Has your DR spoke to you about your diet? Eczema can be traced back to what you eat most of the time. This is especially true for kids. For adults you have to look at the detergents you are using, along with moisturizer. The most important thing is not scratching and to keep applying moisturizer. It can be hard to find one that agrees with your skin. Just after shower apply a liberal coat of a natural moisturizer like coconut oil.
1337810 tn?1333807530 I'm not an expert but my 2yr old son has eczema. he had it as an infant so I changed our clothes detergent to a hypo-allergenic or sensitive one as well as his nappy wipes. when he was 1 I gradually introduced normal soaps & detergents. he was fine for a few mths but then it came back worse. I now only use hypo-allergenic detergent & use skin cream during summer as it flares up during the hotter period.
Avatar n tn I know this misery well. Once I went on my first elimination diet for the digestive issues, that's when I discovered the true source of my misery: GLUTEN and DAIRY. The two go hand-in-hand. Look up key words like "eczema diet" "what not to eat with eczema". Conventional doctors usually miss this. I stumbled upon it myself when looking into my other health issues.
Avatar f tn Sounds like a type of eczema. Sometimes eczema is exasperated by one's diet, because eczema is affected by food sensitivities. Cold sore medications are ineffective if this is eczema. Eczema is also known as the itch that rashes, which is why the little bumps get worse if you pick at them. The usual consensus for foods to avoid when you have eczema are gluten and dairy. There are others, but these are the big ones. They definitely affect my eczema.
Avatar m tn If you find that it itches, then you scratch, then the rash either appears or it gets worse, it is likely eczema. If the little blisters seem like they're filled with clear watery liquid, that's definitely eczema. There are different types of eczema, too. I'm annoyed that conventional doctors don't bother to suggest that patients with eczema try eliminating gluten and dairy from their diet.
Avatar f tn He may not realize he might have eczema. This is a lifelong condition and the only real practical way to deal with eczema is through diet. Look up things like "foods not to eat with eczema" and "diet for eczema". The general consensus is that gluten and dairy should be avoided. I wish conventional doctors would tell their patients this, because not eating gluten and dairy is the only long term solution that helps me. Make sure you do the research, though.
Avatar m tn ve had the same itching behind my knees and random itching on my thighs, legs and sometimes my buttocks could those random itchings be a form of eczema? how can i suppress it? and do you think a strict diet will prevent it from itching as bad?

Avatar m tn Hi Sam, Itching can be a sign of many different things. The first question that I might ask is what your diet is like. Do you know what genetically modified organisms are (GMOs)? Are they in your diet? If you are eating foods that are processed, have multiple ingredients, contain soy, corn, canola oil, these would be foods that have been genetically modified. Sugar, is now a genetically modified ingredient and comes from beets, yet they never give you the source of sugar ingredients on labels.
Avatar m tn The only thing that comes to mind is that there are different types of eczema. That's definitely not the kind I have, though. I'm not sure what else it might be. As far as that one goes, it wouldn't hurt to look up "foods to avoid with eczema" or "eczema diet" or words similar to that. That doesn't really look like eczema, but the eczema diet might help.
336902 tn?1242006090 I talked with a lot of people that have been able to control there eczema by controlling sugar. They stick to a fruit and vegetable diet. By making there bodies more alkiline. Read some articles on alkiline diets. But don't fall into the trap of ionized water. They sell extremely over priced water filters. designed to increase the ph of water. Your body regulates the ph automatically. I'll try to find a link to a web site of a women that is able to control her eczema.
Avatar n tn Could you please let me know if the eczema could be caused by an allergic reaction? Soap? Diet soda? I wish I knew what to look for, then I could avoid what causes the flare ups. I would very much appreciate any advise.
Avatar f tn Hi, Whilst searching for something to help with the ezcema on my hand, I have stumbled on what seems to be an cure for eczema. Just follow this link and see what you think: http://jagster1.eczemacure.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=JRP Any opinions would be appreciate.
976897 tn?1379167602 "Mediterranean diet ‘as good as statins’ at reducing heart attack risk" Maybe the NHS heard the news.
1486160 tn?1288018691 I have a friend who's child was getting eczema really bad and they had to change her entire diet...No gluten, wheat, beef, dairy, etc...They cut out a lot but away went the eczema and they've found lots of meals, snacks to replace her diet with. With her diet was key...Good luck!
Avatar n tn Sounds like it might be eczema- have you had a doctor take a look? You may switch your soaps/moisturizers to something that is fragrance free for starters. You might also keep an eye on your diet- sometimes certain foods can set off eczema out breaks. I always recommend keeping a journal of when you see them and what you have eaten or the products you have used. Also, you can use aloe vera or similar moisturizer on the patches to help.
Avatar f tn it may be lactose, dairy, or you could jus have eczema that is totally unrelated to your diet.
1753784 tn?1312287729 Try also to avoid scratching to prevent secondary bacterial infection. Eating a nutritious diet and keeping the area cool and dry may also be helpful. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Look up "eczema diet" or "what not to eat with eczema" or other related search terms. Not everyone with eczema needs to go gluten free, but, like you, I kept getting this rash (on my hands) that didn't seem to have any rhyme or reason. I for sure had eczema, but conventional doctors don't always recognize that diet definitely can play a huge role in the flare ups. That, in addition to what was mentioned, for sure.
Avatar n tn My 4 year old daughter has severe eczema. She is currently in a flare up and nothing seems to be helping her itchy and dry skin. I am giving her daily baths and putting vaseline immediately afterwards to mosturize but that does not seem to help. I have tried aquarphor, vanicream and elta but she does not like anything on her skin -- makes her uncomfortable and she cries. I am using protopic and also have used flucinoclone acetonide ointment - USP, 0.025%.
Avatar m tn We have seen a Derm and they were not very helpful basically told her to stop scratching which is impossible. I have done some research on eczema and we are trying an elimination diet with Citrus and strawberries as they are none to irritate eczema and she eats both in abundance. If that fails we are going to try Gluten/wheat elimination next. We have also started her on Probiotics which are supposed to cut down on the acid in her body helping the eczema.
Avatar n tn You need to drink plenty of water daily – around 1.5 – 3 litres per day and eat a balanced diet. Do not keep your lips dry; apply lip balm which contains sunscreen – preferably a medicated one. If you have cracks at the corner of your mouth it indicates B2 deficiency in this case you need to take B2 supplements. It could be eczema, sweat dermatitis, or allergic reactions.
Avatar f tn A friend of mine has had good results with Betnovate and has suggested I ask my doctor for a prescription to help my 15 year old daughter who has small isolated areas of eczema on her ear lobes and one patch on the back of her neck. I want to avoid having to obtain prescriptions if I can (I have to wait ages for an appointment and the clinic is always so busy I end up waiting hours for a 5 minute timeslot).
