guys and girls just putting on creams or lotions will not stop eczema. eczema does not have to b a lifelong condition, it is 100% curable. dont listen to the doctors. watch my video to learn how to cure this. im just an 18 year old boy that also had to face eczema on my face but it is practically gone
@kratosSOZ Did you even watch my video? :/ I never said that creams or lotions stop eczema. I only said they can help soothe the itchiness caused by the overly dry skin.
@Dottilicious yes i did watch the video im just sharing with people that they dont have to live with eczema. many people think that just by using a special creme the eczema will go away which isnt true. I am not trying to bad talk ur video. The stuff you are using is very good
if your tired of using all this products with no success, check out The American Institute of Advanced Medicine they will eradicate your eczema or any other skin disorder. they have changed my life for the better. theaiam.com
i find that the steroids are the only thing that temprorarilly stops the redness but the doctors want me to stop using it cos it thins the skin. is there anything you would reccomend. any response would be appreciated :)
hi i was wondereing whether you could give me some advise.my skin is very inflamed and red all over my face and inner elbows, especially in the mornings at the moment im using two steroids, one for the arms, the other for the face and moisturising about 3 times a day with aqueous. im also taking erythromycin tablets twice a day but i sometimes forget to take them. iv had eczema since i was a baby and im now 15.
What website did you order that moisturizer? I'm not a girl, but I do suffer from face eczema, nor horribly.....but it's very red, and most moisturizers I've used don't work very well. Ceravae seems to help some, but I want to try the one you suggested.
@Dottilicious Thanks, and what about the shampoo and conditioner you use? My scalp has been flaky/itching like crazy and I have only found a select few shampoos that don't make it itch, but none have helped with flaking.
@sheeeve08 I use a different one now :) If you look on my YT channel page, there's an updated haircare routine video :) It's a very girly routine, but perhaps it'll give you some helpful tips and tricks. My scalp hasn't been flaky/itching anymore since that routine.
@Dottilicious I just wanted to say something. I ordered the moisturizer.......but the day after I asked you this, I had my wisdom teeth out. They had been causing problems for a while....But that, and the fact that I've had no foods with red dyes, or spices since then, my eczema is 95% gone ALREADY!! Oh my word, I don't know if it's because of the dyes or spices (I've noticed flare ups when I have stuff with those) or the teeth....
@Dottilicious I'm still going to use the moisturizer when it comes in, but I thought that was awesome. It could be something for many people as just changing their diets. Who knows. In the back of my mind though I wandered about the wisdom teeth for a while...they were sideways, literally, and under the gums, pushing hard. If I had before pictures, I would show you, but I don't. I could put a picture up of me now, but if you haven't seen how bad it was it wouldn't matter lol. I'm happy though.
I don't think there is a cure for it, which is a great shame but I think that Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour cream is great for clearing small patches. Have you tried it? I also make a good soap for eczema as I too am a sufferer. It contains Patchouli oil, which is very very good for sufferers. I'd be happy to send you a chunk to sample if you like. I have no large ones as yet again it has sold out but I have small chunks I can send. Just message me and I'll send some then you can see if it helps. x
Great clip, I must say, I have been using the body shop products for a while with great success. On a whim, I tried a new seaweed based product from Seaweed Bath Company and have had some great luck. Anyone else try any seaweed based products?
this was so helpful!!! but how do you get rid of the flare ups? my dermatologist prescribed me a gel which has sterroids in it so its really bad for my skin if i use too much. do you just use these products and then your eczema goes away? or do you have prescribed creams as well? thanks!!!! did the shampoo get rid of the flakiness as well? i just discovered i have eczema and its freaking me out! haha lol thanks!
@ColorMeBilly I haven't managed to get rid of the bad flare ups I'm afraid :( I still get them. But in my experience, the drier the skin, the worse & itchier my eczema gets, so that's why I moisturise a lot ;)
For really bad flare ups, I still use prescibed steroid creams.
The shampoo worked really well, yes :D I also really like Essensity by Schwarzkopf, it's also SLS free :)
No need to freak out, there are things you can do to relieve at least a little bit of the eczema stress ;)
@Dottilicious thanks alot! =] also, for the essensity shampoo, which line do you use? the clarifying scalp one or the one for dry hair? is there a noticeable difference between the chi shampoo and that one? r they both good for flaking? which do you prefer? thanks!
@vanashcullen I bought their products and they worked for awhile then my skin became immune to them I feel. The body wash helped more than the moisturizer did but they were good products overall.
If the air is humid, I get eczma, if it's dry, I get a horrible cough. It's such a pain because during the whole winter I have that horrible cough, then I have eczema the whole summer.
But the positive thing is that I avoid doing the army because of it.
@BellaaMarlene ...is look at your diet, there might be certain ingredients in food that cause your eczema to worsen. You might even be intolerant to gluten for example. Or maybe the pesticides on food. But there is no permanent magical cure yet I'm afraid. Hang in there, I know it's hella tough for your right now, but keep trying to find the cause :)
@BellaaMarlene I'm really sorry to read that your eczema is so severe that it's causing you so much stress in your daily life and your appearance :( I've had eczema for almost 24 years, I've been in your position, mine was (and sometimes still is) as severe as yours. "Greasy crap" only closes off your skin, what you wanna look for is soothing and strengthening stuff. But there is no cure for eczema. Any dermatologist will tell you that very same thing. HOWEVER, what you CAN do...
@BellaaMarlene Fixing what's flawed on the inside, physically, is usually very difficult and it takes ages to do. Sometimes it's not even possible at all. Yet you still have to deal with the eczema rashes. So might as well try to soothe those as much as possible in the meantime. And if you look at the products I mentioned and listed, you'll find that most are organic with gentle ingredients.
Eczema cannot be cured only kept under control, anyone saying different is a scammer,best and only result i have had came from a lady in Australia, Melanie she is a sufferer herself has an all natural cream after 2 weeks clear skin any flare ups bit of cream on it and a couple of days gone, i swear by her. google her calmessence in australia
my 2 year old has eczema and food allergies, eggs and nuts. I blame it on him being born premature and put into an incubator and not getting his mothers colostrum "natures first food" mothers only produce it for the first 12 or so hours. It's the genetic blueprint for your immune system..
So to recap. Replace your soap and then apply a moisturizer. Eczema affects the acidic layer that normally traps in moister in the skin. Using a neutral pH soap means that this acid layer is not stripped off completely(in normal ppl, it is quickly regenerated). Applying moisturizer right after helps seal in water in the skin. Doing these things have kept my eczema at bay(though i have some minor itching on my face at times). It was a definite game changer in my battle with eczema.
Thanks for the info you beautiful woman you. I've been suffering with eczema all my life and until about 5 years ago, relied on topical corticosteroids to treat it. That was until a derm rec to me that I change my soap to something with a neutral pH and then immediately after the shower, pad dry and then apply a moisturizer. The cheapest products I have found that work are...the generic versions of Cetaphil cleanser and lotion. A generic brand here in the states is Equate(sold by Wal-Mart).
I tend to get what I assume is eczema around the colder months, especially on my hands, more specifically my knuckles. I've found Eucerin's Calming Cream to work quite well in reducing the itching and flare-ups.
i have eczema im also pku which just means i cant break down an amino acid called phe which is in protein.i simply have to have a low protein diet but recently i didnt follow it and for the first got eczema my dietican said it was the phe irritating my skin and that every1 with eczema has something irritating ur skin it may b allergies go find out
would prep my face , but i think i have had an allergic reaction to it, or it could be my make up remoover but i doubt that , my mum used to work with an aloe vera company called forever living and that is very good and all natural and normally takes all my eczema away but it hasnt it has only inflamed it - HELP ME
Oh and also, just wash your face with lukewarm water and a soft washcloth. You don't want to do anything that might inflame the already irritated skin. Be as gentle as possible.
If it doesn't calm down within a few days, please ask your parents to take you to a doctor!
Thank you so much x I went to the doctors in the end and the prescribed me double base of which i hate because it is soooo sticky & Aveeno , which i have to use every 2 hours but i love it , thanks for the great tips , i will do so :D
Aveeno can only help for sometime, eventually your system will reject it and the eczema will not go away even after using it. Its totally related to your diet, i'm sure you must have tried somethings buy, first i need to know what your usual diet it is and what all have you tried, then i will tell you what u do need to have. It will take a while for it to go away, so the only thing i would ask for is patience.
HI , i am a 12yr old girl , and i really need help with my eczema on my face, my parents do not alow me to wear make up out of the house unless it is a occasion, but i like practising with what i have, so one night i put a bit of make up -BUT i thought i was being all clever and put talcom powder on because i thought it
Sorry to hear you have eczema on your face :( Talc absorbs the moisture and oil, which is really bad for already dry and supersensitive eczema skin. You really cannot use it as a primer.
I think the best thing to do is to not wear makeup or anything at all on your face for several days until it settles down.
Maybe look into mineral makeup such as Everyday Minerals? It works for me :) Maybe you can show it to your parents and they can have a look at the website!
Hey Suzy :) just wondering where you got the calendula oil from? is it just the pure oil and do you find it helps at all? I think you should make more eczema related videos as i have not found many people on youtube who talk about their condition and what remedies they find helpful! Thanks :)
Hey! :D I bought mine from a Holland & Barrett type of place, but a Dutch version of that ;) It's pure Calendula Oil mixed with Glycerine, but the latter is purely to help maintain moisture :) Hope that helps!!
Yeh i thought maybe Holland and Barrett would have something like this. I looked on their website and they only have a calendula cream not oil! Im still lookin cos the skin on my face is realllllly dry and flaky at the moment ahhh! Thanks hun :)
those Product are only for The Pink race . My brothers And Sisters , Dont Need Those Products . That Soap Seems Kool. But, there are Better ones . Shea Butter is the way to Go. BUt, for you It might not werk . You have a Diff Biology Than my Brotehrs And Sisters .
Try african shea butter...the real unrefined shea butter. alot of people say it has elimated their condition. african black soap is another soap thats works for itchy,irritated skin. both works wonders
Yes I have :D It's lovely, but I actually found it a tad bit drying. I like the Castile & Calendula soap better! And my second favourite is the Grapeseed Shea Complexion soap :D That one is fantastic for washing your face with. Facial brush + Grapeseed Shea Complexion soap = heaaaavenly!
Thanks so much for your quick response! I think I'm going to try both and get back to you. What's fun is I JUST started using the Grapeseed Shea Complexion this Sunday so the verdict is still out...
Have you found tea tree to be irritating? I ask because I have been recently been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis. I have found tea tree to be very, irritating which is strange because I understood tea tree to do the exact opposite. Just curious...
I am 12 and i have eczema.. ive had it for about 6months and its horrible. I have it on my face, neck, shoulders. I wondered if you can wear make up when you have eczema?!?!
Hi :) Sorry to read you have eczema :( You can wear makeup, but I would recommend mineral makeup without bismuth oxychloride. Keep it light, the less ingredients, the better :)
Unfortunately, it's trial and error when it comes to makeup :(
No, seriously I like the way you look on CAM, I went to a dermatologist in Mexico who gave an REALLY EXCELENT NATURAL CREAM free from Anything that might cause cancer, or skin cancer it's called: CREMOSIN -S, it burns for 4 min and the dissapears, 3 days later there's nothing there, he also gave me for the redness but it's okay it clears VERY well, the downside is that it leaves the face oily after 3 days of use when you have a breakup. I use a bit everyday to keep the breakups from comming up.
Hi! They worked great. I would recommend them to everyone. The only problem is, i went to the dermatologist this week and the dr told me that calendula has a lot of allergenic extracts. She told me i should stop using it until she receives my allergy results. I was very surprised but then again it may work different for everyone. Thank you for the tip!!! ;)
Really? Wow....that's the first time I've ever heard that. For me personally it's the go to extract whenever I have eczema, and has been for years hehe.
But yes, definitely listen to your doctor :) And if you get the green light, then I'd say heck yeah keep using the Calendula stuff ;)
Doctors will prescribe steroids and usually ointments that will leave a layer of greasy oil on the skin. This doesn't heal the skin nor does it hydrate it properly. Standard procedure is symptom management, not dealing with the cause.
The products that I mentioned don't battle eczema (as I stated in the description box), but for me personally, they work with my eczema, soothe it and don't aggravate it further. So they're handy tips which I hope can be beneficial for other eczema sufferers.
Throughout my life I've been to the dermatologist many times, yes :)
Last time was a couple of months ago. But he admitted that all there is out there for eczema at the moment is steroid cream (after 21 years of using steroids, you can imagine the side effects and how damaged my skin is from them), Protopic/Elidel (nasty side effects that haven't been properly researched yet) and keeping skin oily with petroleum or lanolin based products.
Even though I'm quite young, I know alot about Eczema :P
I've been admitted into hospital many times because of it, and stayed in for weeks. At one point I was placed into an isolated room, as they believed I may get Blood poisoning due to my skin being extremely raw.
The reason I have Eczema is genetics. My mom had it, and so passed it down to me and my brother. However my brother has hardly any Eczema.
I see a Dermatologist all of the time. And I personally wouldn't use anything for the treatment of my eczema, other than the things that were prescribed to me.
I've been on Steroids (prednisolone) for two years now. It has had some side effects, but not with my eczema. It has though affected my bones quite a bit, and so I suffer badly with aches a pains.
There are many things for Eczema, your dermatologist is slightly strange...
I use a very good cream, called Dermol. Its an anti-septic cream.
I actually can't believe but I'm so happy!! It claims to be totally natural but I think smells like steroid cream but to be honest at this stage I really don't care! Worth a try anyway! :)
I'm not sure if you are willing to use animal products, but any lotion or balm with emu oil in it is like water on fire. My family has had amazing success using emu oil based products are really bad eczema. For us it's important to use products that are handcrafted.
Hi thanks for the video! Ive had really bad itchy scalp since i turned 18 its pretty bad I lost some feeling so I end up scratching pretty deep. just have a few questions
1 how do you get eczema do you catch it?
2 is it common for people with scalp eczema to have it around their eye?
Hehe, it's a common misconception that eczema is something you "catch". It's not contagious.
It's not quite certain why eczema happens. It can be a genetic thing, it can be a weak intestinal system, side effects from medication, food allergies (hence a special diet), etc.
It's common to have it in more than one place on your body, but scalp doesn't necessarily mean around the eye too.
Filtered water/shower filters can remove chlorine/minerals from the water which can worsen existing eczema.
Cetaphil cleanser also is very gentle for cleansing the face and body... these are just things that helped me. The less products you use on your body, the better...
I have eczema too... Omega 3 pills daily and zinc have worked really good. Using organic shampoos are the best. (I use Avalon Organics) and using organic coconut oil as a lotion is wonderful. Lots of pure water, no processed food and no artificial sweeteners.
Sorry to read you also have eczema :( I take Omega 6 daily, which solved my dry skin issues.
Avalon Organics has wonderful products! Unfortunately they gave me one heck of an allergic reaction, but the products themselves are very nice....I just have a strange body ;) Haven't tried organic coconut oil yet, will keep that in mind! Thanks!
And yes you're right, lots of pure water (Brita filters ftw!), no processed food and artificial sweeteners are key to keeping eczema under control as well!
There is this medicine called Elica Cream (Shering Plough) and you can use it for about any skin rashes. There aren't really any side effects. It clears up fast sooooo.... you should use it. I ran out of mine :(
i bought the soap and the joyfulgirl calendula mosturizer..it seems to be working but taking a long time @_@ i was wondering if theres anything else i should try, my excema has become a very dark rash (it looks purple @_@) and i was wondering if you've ever had that problem? if so was there anything that fixed it quickly/fixed it at all? xD; thank you.
Hello! :) If you look in the description box on the right, you can find the products mentioned in the video! :) The shampoo & conditioner are from Chi Organics :)
Hi Dottilicious! i viewed your vid about 2 weeks ago and i purchased the joyful girl calendula foam face wash and moisturizer and oil. lol. I received it this morning and i am so excited to try it out. I have severe eczema on my skin so i am trying to use all natural products. I wanted to know how long did it take you to see results after your started using their products? THanks for your vids! i am learning much from them, since i was diagnosed with facial eczema. recently
so youre sure philosophy purity wont cause any flare ups?Im looking for a good cleanser and im considering it.can you maybe do a review??thanks. i have BAD eczema on my face.
Hi :) I would suggest you check the label on the Philosophy Purity first, it contains A LOT of ingredients. So if you have severe eczema on your face, you might react to one of the ingredients.
For severe eczema, I would suggest Joyful Girl Natural's Calendula Foaming Face Wash or The Body Shop Aloe line. Those two are probably the safest for very bad eczema :)
Hi, watched this vid a couple of weeks ago, forgot about it and the when i was shopping i remembered and went into Body Shop and got the aloe clenser and toner you recomended, THey cause me zero irritation which is great, i have never used toner before so its a new thing for me, i like it i think. anyway so far i like these products but time will tell, thanks for the recommendation, finding products that dont agrivate my eczema can be hard.
i always moisurise but am currently unhappy with the product i use, Its Simple Derma Intensive relief Cream, Its works but take an age to sink in, Am considering trying a Dermalogica Moisturiser, expensive but aparently their products last for ages, What i use now is cheap but runs out really fast. I guess its all about experimentation.
GAHHH!!! thank you soooo much for this video!!! I have horrible eczema and ive always felt hopeless about finding nice products that smell good, but dont irritate my skin! this video will help me alot!
Try shea butter from body shop.... u will love it. I have eczema prone skin and that has helped me a lot. My facial skin is very sensitive too and i use body shop's aloe range which is really great!!! Body shop also has a hemp range which u can try. For lips i just love body shop's aloe lip treatment.
Hmm you use alot, well i got only some very light eczema on my fingers. but i think i will try the castile & calendula soap! cause mostly only my hands get like fucked up. thanks for this.

Using a neutral pH soap means that this acid layer is not stripped off completely(in normal ppl, it is quickly regenerated). Applying moisturizer right after helps seal in water in the skin. Doing these things have kept my eczema at bay(though i have some minor itching on my face at times). It was a definite game changer in my battle with eczema.

Thanks for the info you beautiful woman you. I've been suffering with eczema all my life and until about 5 years ago, relied on topical corticosteroids to treat it. That was until a derm rec to me that I change my soap to something with a neutral pH and then immediately after the shower, pad dry and then apply a moisturizer. The cheapest products I have found that work are...the generic versions of Cetaphil cleanser and lotion. A generic brand here in the states is Equate(sold by Wal-Mart).

I tend to get what I assume is eczema around the colder months, especially on my hands, more specifically my knuckles. I've found Eucerin's Calming Cream to work quite well in reducing the itching and flare-ups.

would prep my face , but i think i have had an allergic reaction to it, or it could be my make up remoover but i doubt that , my mum used to work with an aloe vera company called forever living and that is very good and all natural and normally takes all my eczema away but it hasnt it has only inflamed it - HELP ME
PrettyIsNotBeautiful 2 years ago
Oh and also, just wash your face with lukewarm water and a soft washcloth. You don't want to do anything that might inflame the already irritated skin. Be as gentle as possible.
If it doesn't calm down within a few days, please ask your parents to take you to a doctor!
Dottilicious 2 years ago
Thank you so much x I went to the doctors in the end and the prescribed me double base of which i hate because it is soooo sticky & Aveeno , which i have to use every 2 hours but i love it , thanks for the great tips , i will do so :D

PrettyIsNotBeautiful 2 years ago
No, how?
insomb 2 years ago
Aveeno can only help for sometime, eventually your system will reject it and the eczema will not go away even after using it. Its totally related to your diet, i'm sure you must have tried somethings buy, first i need to know what your usual diet it is and what all have you tried, then i will tell you what u do need to have. It will take a while for it to go away, so the only thing i would ask for is patience.

HI , i am a 12yr old girl , and i really need help with my eczema on my face, my parents do not alow me to wear make up out of the house unless it is a occasion, but i like practising with what i have, so one night i put a bit of make up -BUT i thought i was being all clever and put talcom powder on because i thought it
PrettyIsNotBeautiful 2 years ago
Sorry to hear you have eczema on your face :( Talc absorbs the moisture and oil, which is really bad for already dry and supersensitive eczema skin. You really cannot use it as a primer.
I think the best thing to do is to not wear makeup or anything at all on your face for several days until it settles down.
Maybe look into mineral makeup such as Everyday Minerals? It works for me :) Maybe you can show it to your parents and they can have a look at the website!

Try african shea butter...the real unrefined shea butter. alot of people say it has elimated their condition. african black soap is another soap thats works for itchy,irritated skin. both works wonders

Thanks for the tips :) I've tried african shea butter, but unfortunately it didn't eliminate my eczema. It is very moisturizing though :)
African black soap is better for oilier skin types as it can be quite drying.
But if it worked for you, then that's fantastic! Every person is unique! :)

No, seriously I like the way you look on CAM, I went to a dermatologist in Mexico who gave an REALLY EXCELENT NATURAL CREAM free from Anything that might cause cancer, or skin cancer it's called: CREMOSIN -S, it burns for 4 min and the dissapears, 3 days later there's nothing there, he also gave me for the redness but it's okay it clears VERY well, the downside is that it leaves the face oily after 3 days of use when you have a breakup. I use a bit everyday to keep the breakups from comming up.

Hi! They worked great. I would recommend them to everyone. The only problem is, i went to the dermatologist this week and the dr told me that calendula has a lot of allergenic extracts. She told me i should stop using it until she receives my allergy results. I was very surprised but then again it may work different for everyone. Thank you for the tip!!! ;)
vastete0313 2 years ago
Really? Wow....that's the first time I've ever heard that. For me personally it's the go to extract whenever I have eczema, and has been for years hehe.
But yes, definitely listen to your doctor :) And if you get the green light, then I'd say heck yeah keep using the Calendula stuff ;)
Dottilicious 2 years ago
I noticed that most of the prodcuts you recommend to help "Battle" you Eczema are ones that you buy off the shelf.
I don't think anyone, especially dermatologists, would recommend those sorts of products.
Doctors, for people with Eczema, generally prescribe ointments and lotions, that will help people in everday life, control their Eczema.
Obviously each person to their own. And I'm not saying that it doesn't work for you! :P

PIffleCakes 2 years ago
Doctors will prescribe steroids and usually ointments that will leave a layer of greasy oil on the skin. This doesn't heal the skin nor does it hydrate it properly. Standard procedure is symptom management, not dealing with the cause.
The products that I mentioned don't battle eczema (as I stated in the description box), but for me personally, they work with my eczema, soothe it and don't aggravate it further. So they're handy tips which I hope can be beneficial for other eczema sufferers.
Dottilicious 2 years ago
I guess you quite cleary visit a Dermatologist frequently then?
PIffleCakes 2 years ago
Throughout my life I've been to the dermatologist many times, yes :)
Last time was a couple of months ago. But he admitted that all there is out there for eczema at the moment is steroid cream (after 21 years of using steroids, you can imagine the side effects and how damaged my skin is from them), Protopic/Elidel (nasty side effects that haven't been properly researched yet) and keeping skin oily with petroleum or lanolin based products.
Dottilicious 2 years ago
I'm 17, and I've had eczema all of my life.
Even though I'm quite young, I know alot about Eczema :P
I've been admitted into hospital many times because of it, and stayed in for weeks. At one point I was placed into an isolated room, as they believed I may get Blood poisoning due to my skin being extremely raw.
The reason I have Eczema is genetics. My mom had it, and so passed it down to me and my brother. However my brother has hardly any Eczema.
PIffleCakes 2 years ago
I see a Dermatologist all of the time. And I personally wouldn't use anything for the treatment of my eczema, other than the things that were prescribed to me.
I've been on Steroids (prednisolone) for two years now. It has had some side effects, but not with my eczema. It has though affected my bones quite a bit, and so I suffer badly with aches a pains.
There are many things for Eczema, your dermatologist is slightly strange...
I use a very good cream, called Dermol. Its an anti-septic cream.
PIffleCakes 2 years ago
I actually can't believe but I'm so happy!! It claims to be totally natural but I think smells like steroid cream but to be honest at this stage I really don't care! Worth a try anyway! :)

I'm not sure if you are willing to use animal products, but any lotion or balm with emu oil in it is like water on fire. My family has had amazing success using emu oil based products are really bad eczema. For us it's important to use products that are handcrafted.
julykasa 2 years ago
Hi :) Thanks for the tip! I have tried emu oil in the past, but unfortunately I had a big allergic reaction to it :(
You're right though, the purer (is that even a word? LOL) the product, the better for the eczema :)
Dottilicious 2 years ago
Wow, that's really interesting. Emu oil is supposed to be hypo-allergenic, but never say never.
Was there anything else or pure cosmetic grade emu oil alone?
Another thing is it is a very deep penetrating oil. So if you had anything else on your skin prior that could be what you are reacting to.

Hi thanks for the video! Ive had really bad itchy scalp since i turned 18 its pretty bad I lost some feeling so I end up scratching pretty deep. just have a few questions
1 how do you get eczema do you catch it?
2 is it common for people with scalp eczema to have it around their eye?
3 why does filtered water and diet effect eczema?
wuhlei 2 years ago
Hehe, it's a common misconception that eczema is something you "catch". It's not contagious.
It's not quite certain why eczema happens. It can be a genetic thing, it can be a weak intestinal system, side effects from medication, food allergies (hence a special diet), etc.
It's common to have it in more than one place on your body, but scalp doesn't necessarily mean around the eye too.
Filtered water/shower filters can remove chlorine/minerals from the water which can worsen existing eczema.
Dottilicious 2 years ago
wow are you a doctor? hmm could eczema be a sign of a intestinal parasite?

And yes you're right, lots of pure water (Brita filters ftw!), no processed food and artificial sweeteners are key to keeping eczema under control as well!

There is this medicine called Elica Cream (Shering Plough) and you can use it for about any skin rashes. There aren't really any side effects. It clears up fast sooooo.... you should use it. I ran out of mine :(

XRobinRainbowX 2 years ago
Hi :) I would suggest you check the label on the Philosophy Purity first, it contains A LOT of ingredients. So if you have severe eczema on your face, you might react to one of the ingredients.
For severe eczema, I would suggest Joyful Girl Natural's Calendula Foaming Face Wash or The Body Shop Aloe line. Those two are probably the safest for very bad eczema :)
Good luck!

Hi, watched this vid a couple of weeks ago, forgot about it and the when i was shopping i remembered and went into Body Shop and got the aloe clenser and toner you recomended, THey cause me zero irritation which is great, i have never used toner before so its a new thing for me, i like it i think. anyway so far i like these products but time will tell, thanks for the recommendation, finding products that dont agrivate my eczema can be hard.
DukeOfQueens 2 years ago
It's definitely nice to hear that TBS' Aloe products are working for you so far! :) I'm glad my video was helpful to you hehe.
Toner is great, but always make sure you moisturize your skin right afterwards.
Toner helps the moisturizer to sink into your skin better (and it also removes any traces of dirt etc. that the cleanser didn't get off).

i always moisurise but am currently unhappy with the product i use, Its Simple Derma Intensive relief Cream, Its works but take an age to sink in, Am considering trying a Dermalogica Moisturiser, expensive but aparently their products last for ages, What i use now is cheap but runs out really fast. I guess its all about experimentation.
