Avatar f tn If you want to learn more about how we used natural products from this amazing herbalist/Doc who actually had a background in helping babies and toddlers with severe eczema, feel free to email me as I know how hard it can be. We sent tons of babies and toddlers to this Doc and they all are better for it. It's funny you titled you title your comments as "eczema and beyond" as I am just in the midst of creating a website called beyondeczema.

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.
Avatar f tn For some reason the cheap aveeno baby is pnly thing that works my son hes almost 3 and still has extremely sensitive skin he doesnt actually have eczema. Juat veeu sensitive I cannot use anything woth aloe Barbados or fragrance in it. Even expensive organic fragrance free crap doesn't work lol. But the babu aveeno is actually made with colloidal oatmeal which is great for eczema amd sensitive skin :-) and plan old oatmeal baths are good as well.
1337810 tn?1333807530 If you feel that the eczema maybe allergy related, then suggest going to an Allergist for him to get tested so you know for sure. If he is allergic to a food type, then you would know what foods to feed him or not.
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 m tn ve read somewhere that it is very dangerous to be infected with hsv when you have eczema, (eczema herpetecum) so safety precaution would be not to kiss him anywhere forever right? thank you grace and i'll be waiting for the answer.
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 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 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 n tn The dermatologist i saw called it rosacae something and prescribed that i sun-bath, which worked for some time. I kept on getting flare-ups of what is now classified as eczema by all the doctors i see. They usually recommend similar drugs like antihistamines and corticosteriods with increasing intensity. These medicines do not seem to work anymore and am left with a consitently rough skin that is somewhat embarrasing. I feel so discouraged and prefer to stay at home.Please advice.
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 i have these big black patches near my groin on the inner thigh they've been there for about 3yrs and sometimes they itch really bad in the winter and sometimes in the summer just recently i'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 I am getting so tired of this skin disease and hoping to find a cure or minimize it once and for all. I put on Cetaphil eczema cream daily. Do you guys have any suggestions on this or any creams/pills I should take??
1221025 tn?1266842580 In most cases of eczema no one treatment will be effective. Medical research shows that the most effective treatment plan for eczema involves using a combination of therapies to treat the skin and making lifestyle changes(prevention of triggers and application of lots of moisturizers) to control flare-ups. My sincere advice is to follow up the treatment that you have been prescribed by your dermatologists. Also keep your skin well moisturized as dryness of skin aggravates the condition.
Avatar m tn Food is medicine, therefore I would do a detoxification diet with a lot of juicing using organic vegetables only. I would eliminate sugar, bread and alcohol from the diet completely for at least a month to see if it made any difference. I have Morgellons disease—and am not suggesting that you have it, but one of the symptoms is itching all over the body. It can present with rashes or lesions in some people that itch very badly.
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.
Avatar n tn I have had eczema on one foot for almost 20 years now. I am 38. Sometimes it does not flare up for a week or two, but it always comes back. I have been to several dermatologists, tried various prescriptions, over the counter meds and a series of cortisone shots (they helped for about 18 months, but the side effects were intolerable). It seems to be worse in the summer. The itching keeps me up many nights. I only wear flip flops, year round. I can not wear socks or closed shoes.
Avatar f tn Here's an interesting thought. I didn't know about this, 'til my primary doctor just told me. I have many food sensitivities, and I have Celiac. Did you know that eczema is one of the symptoms of Celiac? Okay, here's an interesting one for you: When I stopped eating gluten and dairy, which is absolutely essential for celiacs, I stopped having the severe eczema that I had been experiencing since I can remembering.
Avatar f tn My GP told me the most likely cause is lactose, so I am now avoiding eating dairy products (for almost 2 weeks now). I have eczema on my eyelids which I tend to scratch when I sleep, I have been putting Sigmacort cream on it but it doesn't help. Is lactose causing the eczema on my eyelids? Is there a short-term fix to the eczema on my eyelids?
