PEOPLE CHINESE HERBALIST = 6 MONTHS I WAS TREATED FOR ECZEMA NOW I GOT DERMATITUS AND EXTREMELY DRY SKIN .

BUT THE ENJOYMENT WAS BETWEEN 20 YEARS OF ZERO DRY SKIN .

i have this kind of rash with red and skin color bumps on a very small area of my chest , it started as a red itchy rash at first and it would get worse in the shower cause that's when i scratch it the most ,but then after a while it started to turn into little bumps like pimples so i thought it was eczema or some sort of allergy but now i am confused so i am seeing a demartologist pretty i need the right meds for the treatment cause cortizone is only helping with the itching

I'm trying to figure out what is on my arm. They're a series of itchy pink bumps that make an oval. I don't know if it's eczema or ringworm or what. ): ..?

And in the morning my neck became flaky and very dry so I start putting parafiline moisturizer on it. It's ruining my life!

[DarkYoda0025]

I hAve eczema for 13 years. I am using mometesone furate on my body and pro topic on my face and whenever I put pro topic on my face after a while my face starts to burn and starts to itch and it messes up my skin. My eczema has gotten worse for some reason. At night in bed it gets worse I start to itch badly on my ass, arms, and especially on my chest and legs and it becomes infected. In the morning I

Thanks a million Jeremy Renner!

Good luck on The Avengers, sir!

You all might try a gluten-free diet. It helps mine a lot. Also get tested for allergies and food allergies if you haven't already.

[PALACIOSMOTTA1]

if you are dealing with eczema, you will find that the Crisco( shortening sticks) helps to reduce the itching and heal the rash...I hope this can help you.

Si tienes un problema de eczema , encontraras que la manteca como Crisco en barra , ayuda a reducir la picazon y mantiene el area afectada humectada, ayuda a sanar con mas rapidez...Espero esto te ayude.

[82THEKING07]

i know this sounds weird but i think i have eczema on my groin area

[karalious101]

@82THEKING07 eww lol

[MoonPhase94]

@82THEKING07 Get a doc to check it out, that's a really bad place to have it (it must be so annoying!)

[indycardino]

i have really bad eczema on my foot its almost covered my foot and it bleeds every day

[nixatnite]

steroid cream RUINED my skin.

[distortedlife55]

@nixatnite Prolonged steroid cream usage thins the skin...its on the sideeffects list, you ruined your own skin.

[nixatnite]

@distortedlife55 so do you suffer with this? I did not find any dietary or other options to clear it up and working in hairdressing deosnt help

[distortedlife55]

@nixatnite no i've been dealing with eczema for 10 years roughly the only thing that helps is the steroid cream i've tried goats milk soap, special laundry soap, reduced grain intake, oils, lotions, all natural stuff, I've even tried over the counter steriod cream its just not strong enough for what i have i guess. I've also found that when its hot out and I am sweating it fires up again so i tend to not be outside very long in the summer.

[nixatnite]

@distortedlife55 last few weeks I discovered 'MMS'. MMS baths have dried out and to some extent healed the excema expecially on my fingers. it definately stops any infection. after Ive dont a bath I use 'Repcilin' which is the nicest cream Ive ever used.

[distortedlife55]

@nixatnite I've heard of MMS and its "wonders" I've also heard of the problems that it has with it, and because of these problems it isn't sold in Canada. I have a bath every now and then with two cups of epson salts which seems to clear it up and it seems a little safer, although I'm not sure what Miracle Mineral Salts have in it, I'm sure it's similar.

[nixatnite]

@distortedlife55 the so called 'problems' are that MM S wont make Big Pharma dollars and its too costly to do al the tests to get it approved. MMS works. try it. Its sold as water purification drops

[nixatnite]

@distortedlife55 yes I did and it is the bain of my life. UI recently discovered bathing in MMS drys out infection on my hands. I also suffer from excema on my anus of all places and this helps there too.

[MoonPhase94]

@nixatnite That's such a shame :( I hate how docs never tell you the dangers of steroids (well mine never did.) I hope you are ok :(

[Verification11]

@nixatnite it makes your skin thin...

[theodoreknightturner]

thank you doctor.

[zairt]

thanks friend..we all need to accept this fact that theirs no permant cure for eczema...can only pray to god for mercy....

[RayneMetal666]

Your wrong Steriods only make it go away for alittle bit then it gets worse and comes with nasty side effects!!! Benadryl and claretin wont work I have read many peoples condition and they said it doesnt work!!! You doctors only know how to get rid of the symptoms and not acually cure it!! Alot of this is Bull Crap!!

[zairt]

I agree with u...i had dry eczema on my feet....steroid ointments were prescribed...it worked just for that period....once i stopped i had more ichig than before.......now the condition is worst

[RayneMetal666]

Ooo.....Im sorry....yeah I am with you on that, my stomache, sides arms and I think my legs (but im not sure) are all itchy. Yeah the cream I used was Desoximetasone and it never stoped the itching!! So I suggest using home remedies, that what I am going to do.....or herbal medicine. Yeah eczema ruins quite a chunk out of your life. I do hope you get better.

[WestSideCoolidge]

If you still have Eczema try eating better....I would say stop eating dairy and start eating more Vegetables and fruits and drink more water. I have eczema and dairy products and other processed foods make it scaly really bad and burn. Find a natural(organic) Laxative
