Either/or answers are ok.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have been suffering from some sort of hives/eczema for the past few months. I have seen the dr., who couldn’t name a cause but prescribed me prednisone for immflamation. It went down, but started right back up when I finished the prescription.

I’ve kept a careful food/activity/stress journal to try and pinpoint the cause, and the ONLY consistent thing I can find is that it flares up at night, sweating can make it worse, and it gets worse the deeper in ketosis I am.

I have done low-carb for a few years now because my body is very sugar sensitive. A few days ago I went on a short junk food spree- back to eating burgers, sweets, etc, and the eczema on my forehead/around my eyes cleared up. Now I think I am in ketosis (or near) and overnight, the eczema has exploded on my face again.

Anyone have any experience with this? I really do NOT want to have to gorge myself on carbohydrates to clear my skin, I am pre-diabetic as it is, and sugar makes me slow & nearly unable to function at times.

My 18 month old niece has a dark skin tone but her face has developed these light color patches on it.

I was diagnosed w/ eczema about 2 years ago. It seems to get worse at certain times of the year, Fall and winter usually. I have not had a problem all summer long and all of a sudden I’m itching like crazy and breaking out again, what on earth causes eczema? I put on lotion w/ collidal oatmeal twice a day and it isn’t helping for now. Anything to help it?

what causes it to develop in the first place?
Thankss xx

could it be due to extreme stress?
Thanks in advance!

I had a cream but it cost WITH insurance, and it was already generic. Any help!?

Ok, I know that many things like the wrong soap, detergents, or even allergies can cause eczema but why does it occur?

What happens in your body? What causes the inflammation? Why does it itch?

"The exact cause of eczema is unknown, but it’s thought to be linked to an overactive response by the body’s immune system to a bacterium that normally lives on the skin or an irritant." – quote from http://www.webmd.com/allergies/guide/eczema

does anyone have a better answer than ^ that?

How do the doctors know how to treat a patient if they don’t know the main causes (technical ones of course) of eczema?
no i mean how it WORKS

…medically…..thanks anyways

it is about ,000 to 15,000 and it takes 9 months to complete the procedure. Please help me.
