Hi everyone,
I have had eczema on my hands & arms since I was born. The doctors told my parents I would out grow it by the age of 3, ya right! I have tried so many different lotions, creams, prescription creams, etc and NOTHING seems to help.
It seems to be getting worse, my hands are cracked & bleeding. And the pain from it is awful! I am allergic to aloe so I have to be careful what I use - but if you have any suggestions PLEASE let me know.
Thank you.
Injest Fish Oil. The omega 3 fatty acids may have a beneficial affect. Make sure you pay attention to the label on the bottle and try to get 1 gram of EPA and DHA, not just 1 gram of fish oil.
Good luck
I started putting organic aloe and vitamin e right on my eczema and it has improved immensely (almost completely gone)! I picked up both at a health food store for about $4 a piece.

I’m sorry for writing that much about me, but sometimes it may help for others to understand what could be the problem to that person. So after recent surfing on the internet, I believe i could be related to Leaky Gut Syndrome. I was healthy for ~15 years, and i could have ate everything. If someone else thinks so to please email me or post here. I tried a lot of things, and willing to do anything to get rid of this allergies/eczema.
Im 18 years old,
Thank you for your time – please email me if you have any info about my kind of situation.

Ok, I've had eczema since childhood. I'm experiencing another bad flare-up and just can't stand it!
I'm going to make a few changes and see if anything helps. First I'm going to install a chlorine filter in my shower. Then I will stop using any products that include ingredients listed here: http://www.easeeczema.org/erc/ingredients_to_avoid.htm
K_ Cuevas my daughther has discoid lupus and eczema she flairs constantly but since her rumotologist put her on paquenil 200 mg a capsule a day she harly flairs i know its hard living like that i just thought this my help paquenil its kind of expensive but you can buy hydroxychlor wich its the same just jeneric brand i do when i cant afford it because insurance only pays 30 percent and they are about 300 dollars jenerics are about 120 for 30 capsules i hope this help and try to avoid creams they really dont help i would recomend you to try clarins uv plus protection its like a sun screen that keeps your skin from dehydring you can buy it at macys
The chlorine shower filter is amazing! I noticed a difference in my skin from the first time I showered with it. Before I got it, whenever I showered my skin would burn and itch terribly when I stepped out of the water. Taking a shower was like torture because I knew awaited me when it was time to exit. Now I don't feel itchy and my skin is not super dry after showering. Huge difference!
Come to think of it, this totally makes sense. Water is treated with chemicals like chlorine to destroy bacteria. But the chlorine in the water is just as likely to destroy our skin as it is the the bacteria.
To everyone here suffering from eczema, I really recommend trying this out. There are many things that make it worse and I think chlorine is definitely a big one. The shower head filter I bought was around $30-40 online and so very worth it. Best investment I could make.
Already the rash on my hands and arms is clearing up.
Here's what I've done that I think also helps:
1. Install chlorine filter shower head.
2. Take a warm or cold shower, never super hot.
3. Leave the bathroom door open or cracked to let the humidity out.
4. Use a sensitive skin body wash product. My favorite brand is Aveeno's oatmeal body wash.
5. Pat dry, don't rub.
6. Moisturize right away. Again use a sensitive skin product. My favorite is St. Ive's soothing oatmeal and shea butter lotion.
7. Wear clothing that lets your skin breathe. 100% cotton is best.
I hope this advice can help someone.
Congratulations on your successes! I just want to say, cotton might not be "the best," as it's got more pesticides than any other crop sprayed on it. Try materials made from hemp, maybe.
ZOMFG!!!! Where can I find one of the shower heads? What website did you use? Also are they hard to install? I rent my apt, so will there be a problem/damage?
Personally, I try to cut out citric acid, (sodas, koolaid, lemonade etc) because I know if I have a lot of this, I will flair up. I use Nivea creme to moisturize, even tho it makes me smell like an old lady lol...
Also, I found that most all natural products/products sans -parabens don't break me out. I don't wear polyester/rayon clothing (even though its cheap) and my sheets are cotton.
Most important rule: READ LABELS!!!! I know if I wear a shirt that's 60% rayon/40% cotton I will break out. period. I know if I buy cheap makeup (which contain lots of preservatives aka parabens) I will break out.
Also, I am AA, and I do NOT get relaxers. Weaves irritate me, even when prewashed, and so do wigs. If you like ur weaves, I'd recommend short weaves, like 27 pcs, or bobs to reduce irritation.

thank you for this imformation.what if you have the rash on your head and it took some of the hair out what can you do if the doctor cant do notting because it to far gone.
Check your allergies. I had a terrible case on my forearms and different spots. Ended up being "egg" allergy. I also notice it comes out with any protein drink or boost type drinks. Good luck.

After years suffering with terrible eczema and being told it was stress or I was "addicted to scratching" I tried an elimination diet. I discovered that gluten, wheat, rye, barley, were what causes it. I went on a gluten free diet and while it took a few months to competely go away, I started to feel better right away and if I ate even a small amount of gluten it would flare up again. I realize this isn't the cause for everyone but it is worth trying. You do have to be really diligent with it or you're wasting your time. I would highly recommend working with a dietician. Cutting back on certain foods won't work you have to eliminate it completely for at least two weeks. I get frustrated when I hear things like doctors telling people they are addicted to scratching. Who wouldn't scratch with a terrible itchy rash? Just because a doctor doesn't know the cause doesn't mean it's all in your head.
I have had mild eczema for over 10 years. I get them in patches from 1 inch to about 6 inches wide. Some are rather permanent, others come and go with some effort, and fortunate weather.
I was listening to a npr program with David Linden about the brain, pleasure, and addictive behaviors, and realized that my relationship with my rash followed what he outlined as addiction.
Now, it doesn't seem to be a popular viewpoint, but let me outline. For those of us with mild eczema...
1. Scratch because it is pleasurable to relieve itch
2. Builds tolerance, scratching till it spreads
3. Begins to want it more, and like it less
4. Scratching becomes a way to not feel twangs of itchiness
5. Trying to quit is difficult, and frustrating
6. relapse is highly likely
7. It's a silent addiction because, you can do it without bankruptcy, without neglecting your friends, and without additional health risks.
I offer this view, because I wonder if thinking about the scratching as an addictive behavior can help those of us who are trying to quit for whatever reason to do it with different kinds of support. I've only seen this viewpoint discussed a couple times in eczema forums, but thinking about it in that way really helps me.
My plan is to follow the normal advice like increasing water intake, lotion, cooler shorter less frequent showers :(, and creams, but also having a supply of pleasures such as exercise, food, or other hobbies (picked up to oppose the pleasure I feel from scratching), along with the conscious support of loved ones, and even others with this issue(hopefully)
While it's hard to compare something like my need to scratch to a drug addict's desires, but I know the connection I made has helped me make the decision to change things.
That being said, I'm day one... scratch free.
One moree thinggg!!!!! When you gett the eczema rash or wteverrr DON'T DON'T DON'T DON'T scratch it!!!!!!! It will only make it worse.
I'm only 15 years old. I've had eczema since foreverr -.-
Well, I surfed the internet.. My eczema isn't as bad as the pictures that I usually see :S
I usually get a rash, then the spot of the rash becomes darker than my skin :S
I don't know if this makes sense...
Well, my doctor gave me some creams. He asked me to apply them twice everyday for a month or so. My skin is getting better.
I'm now treating the dark spots which aren't that bad... But they bother me! This had a negative impact on my self-esteem while growing up.
My doctor told me that eczema can be treated by moisturizers orr by love :P Yess! I'm not kidding! She said that what probably triggered the eczema when I was a child is some of the family problems that happened back then.
Chocolate does activate my eczema! :P I feel that diary products do that as well...
Sometimes, applying nail polish can activate my eczema... (I'm not sure if this applies on everyone.. )
For example yesterday I had some sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, later i had an apple, then after some time a cucumber, and again later spinach. One of these foods made my eczema reappear, and Its definitely not spinach, cucumber. And the reappearing of eczema mostly create new spots on my body. For example little eczema spot appears on hand where It never appeared earlier. Most interesting thing on my eczema now is that when i started to get eczema (that was 1 year and 4 months ago, on 2010-01) eczema appeared and disappeared in no time, like two days. Now if It appears, it stays for about a week or more. I eat spinach, cucumbers, broccoli, onions, spring onions, garlic, black bread with no yeast, brown/wild rice, rarely with rice i buy some good sausages with no preservatives, and I very rarely try barley grits. When i bought some probiotics, and took them 2 capsules per day, i felt a little improvement. This current diet also shows little improvement (bigger on my finger, lesser on my face). I even tried now drinking alkaline water, It may be helping me a little. Over the past 4 or 3 months my face cleared up like 30% of my pimples. Also if i cook anything i use olive oil, i moisturize my face/skin with olive oil (extra virgin of course). When my eczema reappears (not triggers), i get some new pimples below my jaw. And those pimples are not acne like. They are sensitive, and feels different than acne ones. When eczema disappear (not fully, it never does fully disappear just like for 65%) those pimples gets inactive. But when it reappears new, sensitive ones comes out. Maybe Its related.
Also before I started my healing, during my culmination in sports I took a shot in trying to drink white egg (raw). (i was allergic to it the most in my early childhood) But friend said it was good for sports and etc. So i tried few cocktails, they were delicious, then i had with more eggs. And just after my last cocktail i noticed my face was all in spots, allergic reaction.
I don't know whether this applies to you, but most people find chocolate, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, roasted peanuts, almonds, shellfish like shrimp, crab, and lobster, and hot tropical fruits like mango, lychee, kiwi, pineapple activates their eczema...are these foods you find troubling too?
Hey, my situation here sounds just like a part from the article “I Was Poisoned By My Body “. When I was 3 months old i cough pneumonia. I had antibiotics injections in order to cure pneumonia. And I developed bronchial asthma. At that time i couldn’t eat anything. I had to take the one and only food – natural barley grits. For about 3-4 years. I know that sound a lot, but I have outgrown my food sensitivities. (strongest ones like eggs still followed me to my 13s). Then I started drinking milk in huge amounts – 2 liters per day (I couldn’t get breastfed at my early months, because of my allergies). So then I ate everything, loads of candies, chocolates, cakes, and normal food till i turned 16 years old. Then mom cooked me mostly what i wanted at that time. I drank 2 liters of lemonade per day, ate a lot of pasta/rice + sausages meals, hot sandwiches. (and this was – almost a daily routine for me, for about 2 – 2 and a half years). Then my face started to suffer from acne/pimples (at this time a little eczema occurred on my finger). So I thought i can heal it with foods good for us – citrus/nuts/meat, but mostly citrus (all about these citrus healthy for acne sufferer foods i found out on the internet). After I tried to heal acne on my own, i found myself in probably most difficult situation i ever had. Eczema had spread out all over my body (forehead, cheeks, finger, elbows, both legs(below the knees/front), Shoulders, chest). Then I took food intolerance test, which showed me allergy to almost everything in low level (1-15%). I started to avoid foods like citrus, wheat, dairy. And started to eat more healthier foods with no preservatives, broccoli, black bread, no sugar no sweets, more water. And I lost like 50-75% of my energy, I couldn’t train karate anymore so I had quit. Little by little i started to improve, but even some good foods makes my eczema to reappear.
i've suffered from eczema my entire life, and i had started to give up hope until i cam on here and read everyones struggles and everyones determination, it has helped me enormously.
thank you everyone who has shared their story, because you are helping me write my own.
i have had eczema all my life. My eczema is triggered by stress, allergies and weather change. I recently have been using coconut oil as a moisturizer and it has kept my skin soft and supple. The fact that I haven't had a flare up all spring into summer, got a new job with an evil boss, and had to take in my grandmothers cat to which i am crazy allergic is just insane. I haven't had a flare up to test its healing abilities when my skin is weeping and cracking, but I have also read its great for healing flare ups as well. there is some kind of antimicrobial property to coconut oil that makes it great for healing skin. google it. coconut oil is my new obsession. it does EVERYTHING.

I've had eczema since I was born and have found changing things in my diet helped massively. My parents cut out meat from my diet at about 7 because it seemed to be a trigger. As an adult I have discovered organic free range meat might not be a problem but as its so expensive I haven't fully explored this option. I can't use certain washing powders or liquids and annoyingly some make up. The biggest problem I have at the moment is stress. My wrists look like something from a horror movie! (unfortunately changes in the weather also can make it flare up!)

Melaleuca is the most fantastic lotion ever created.

When I was a child, my doctor recommended the following ( and it keeps eczema away mostly) I also have skin allergies to ointments like neosporin, and other medicines that are made for eczema like hydrocortisone etc
1) use only dove or caress soaps
2) take aveeno oatmeal baths when skin is especially dry and or itchy with Luke warm water- never hot
3) keep shower water comfortably warm- never hot
4) DON'T SCRATCH (I know impossible...) use cold compresses when skin is extremely inflamed and or itchy
5) dont eat tomatoes, chocolate, nuts, or drink dark colored soda
And my personal favorite.....it will provide a HUGE improvement in a rash over night
6) apply Vaseline liberally on rash cover with plastic wrap and tape edges so that rash is covered and airtight. The plastic causes your skin to sweat bringing moisture to the surface where the Vaseline traps it in the top layers of your skin.
I know sounds hokey- but this has worked for me for 40 years!
Hope this helps someone
