i have eczema and i’ve tried a lot of different treatments but most of them don’t seem to work, the only thing that usually works are topical steriods, but the symptoms always reappear within not much time. i don’t like using topical steriods all the time because of the long term side effects i’ve read about, i was wondering whether anyone out there has had any success with an alternative treatment.

hi, I have diagnosed myself with hand eczema… I went to my family doctor’s office on a couple of occasions over the past few years and he told me I had a mild case of hives due to exposure to some allergen. I first developed hives after washing the dishes 4 years ago, and since then I had a percistant rash on my right hand that never seems to go away, and gets worse after I use hand soap or touch something.

right now, it seems to flare up for no physical reason, it flares up due to stress sometimes. I know its eczema

do you guys know of any home remedies to controll the symptoms?
Ok I’m not even sure if it is eczema, it all started when I used a particularly strong detergent to wash the kitchen floor 4 years ago, and started helping my mom clean the dishes, thus exposing my bare hands to dish soap.

like I said, its a self diagnosis, I could be wrong… can eczema be brought on suddenly by exposure of the skin to detergents?

I have a three month old breastfed baby who’s poop suddenly turned bright green. She also had a little bit of a stuffy nose and eczema. After research it seemed milk could be the problem and after taking it out of my diet the symptoms are decreasing. Its obviously not a severe allergy, but I’m curious if she’ll be sensitive to milk her whole life or if eventually she’ll (and I) will be able to have it.

well i am having a symptom of fatigue and im having bumps on my skin but i have eczema and im not sure but im having more fatigue than usually please help me im 12 and im 119 pounds

Aside from whatever one gets from the doctor, what else should a person with Eczema be aware of in terms of diet? And what can one do to help ease the symptoms, aside from taking the medications? Also, what foods can help with the irritation?

Please cite your sources. Thank you.

I’m 20 years old. Last year, I tried whitening strips for my teeth and had an allergic reaction. My dermatologist told me it may come back from time to time, which it has. However, ever since then, my skin has been so much more sensitive than ever before, and not just around my lips. My whole face gets dry and flaky a lot more and I’ve got these off-white (not very noticable though) patches of what looks like goosebumps on a few spots on my arms, where the skin is dry and itchy. In winter, my legs get flaky dry every day that I don’t use lotion, which it’s never been SO flaky before in my life.

My mom has eczema. I don’t know if anybody else in my family does. I hear it’s hereditary. However, my skin condition doesn’t seem so severe, it’s just annoying, dry skin, not like horrible cracks like I read about. I’m wondering, is this all just because of that allergic reaction, so not eczema, or is it the allergic reaction the catalyst that developed my (possible) eczema?

I read that eczema is caused by an unbalanced immune system. Well, my immune system has always been bad- I grew up in a war-ridden country, had pneumonia twice, always get colds, etc. So is it possible that I have eczema? Some if its symptoms sound similar to mine.

Please note: Clearly, I will go to a dermatologist if I want a professional medical diagnosis. I’m just asking on here just to do some background from others who may have experienced similar symptoms.

Thanks!

Approximately how long can it take to recover from steroid-induced Cushinoid symptons like the puffy face, or Moonface?

The steroid in question was Fucibet cream for the treatment of eczema.

What has worked for you? I have always had problems with Acne Medicine due to a few things.
I already have eczema on my face. If you don’t know what eczema is: The term eczema is broadly applied to a range of persistent skin conditions. These include dryness and recurring skin rashes which are characterized by one or more of these symptoms: redness, itching and dryness.

Plus I have sensitive skin. So the medicine has to be gentle but work well. So yeah. Please and thank you.

I think i have lip eczema. My lips are swollen, very chapped, they itch, they hurt. I googled severely chapped lips and lip eczema came up. From the pictures and the list of symptoms it sounds and looks like what i have. I called my doctor and she is all booked up until December 22nd. I can’t wait a whole month with this problem. I tried to get in with any other doctor and they are also pretty booked because of flu season. I don’t want to go to the ER for chapped lips. Do you know of anything i can buy from a drugstore or walmart to get rid of it? Please help!

I get really dry flaky skin, bad dandruff, sometimes I get small blisters on my hands or feet, it flares up and goes away, I also get little red patches in various areas of the body (similar to ring worm but not treatable by anti-fungus medication) in fact, it often flares up more when I try.

all the symptoms of what i have are the same as eczema except the itching. I do not have any itching with it.

Do all eczema itch? what could this be?

and rule out STD as I am a virgin.
