Cures For Eczema

Thanks for doing this Also good timing with posting the video, my eczema is having a massive flare up atm Exams suck…

@RuffletteBella I’m feeling ya!

u look like u never had eczema ive had it since i was born now am 20 nothing worksss!!!!:(

wow u luk like u never had eczema ive had it since i was 2 weeks old now am 20!! nothing works for me, ur right about the weather i think the cold makes my one worse!

@hero3173 trust me my face is far from perfect. I have to use hydrocortisone to keep the eczema down iv been using it for 2 years now and im determined to find natural alternatives! but i need help! thats why im doing these videos.

Thanks for the comment and keep in touch

@RuffletteBella It’s a nice feeling knowing that there are other people out there who know exactly what you’re going through. Not many people know about eczema and what it can do to your life! i want to be in touch with other people who are suffering like me so we can help each other. thanks for the comment is there anything specific you’d like me to talk about?

stoped using hydrocortisone its too greasy n makes my skin go thin n then it leavs marks hav u tried protopic its better than hydrocortison, my face is the only thing annoys me i dont care about the body that u can cover up face u cant! my chicks r always red!! i got better when i went on holiday to a hot country, staying in london is bad for my skin

thanks for replying your doing a great job with the vids keep it up:D

@hero3173 hey thank u so much for the positive feedback I’ve not tried protopic do you need a prescription to buy it?not a single one of the many GPs and dermatologists i’ve seen mentioned it to me! I know what u mean about getting it on the face.It’s so embarrassing and i get quite down about it cos i can’t hide it! I have been told if i spend a week in a hot country it will go away! I just want it to leave me alone!

Again,thank u for the feedback i will be doing another video soon

@EczemaRemedies GPs and dermatologists in the UK haven’t told me about protopic either, but I did get it once from a dermatologist in Poland who was horrified I had been using hydrocortisone on my face. But hydrocortisone works best for me, and now I’m back to using it pretty much non stop.
One thing that I find really useful, is taking a strong antihistamine before I go to bed (I used Phenergan)- it helps me get to sleep and reduces the itching A LOT- makes you drowsy for about 11 hours though.

@EczemaRemedies I’m sure you already have a lot of ideas about what to talk about; it would probably be useful to talk about hydrocortisone although I’m sure that’s already on your list…

tell me about it! i knw where ur cuming from it puts u realy down in
life, wen u go out u always feel someone is staring at u! before i go
out i check the mirror 3 to 4 times lol to c how i luk!!. The GP cant
prescribe that cream for some stupid reason its only prescribed by
skin specialist, you cant buy it either, so you should visit a skin specialist doctor they knw more than GPs,

thanks again:D looking forward to ur new video;)

@RuffletteBella well check this out, when i saw my dermatologist i told her i stopped using the hydrocortisone cos i was worried of the side effects and shockingly she wasnt happy!she told me if i dont treat the flare-up on my face the skin will become thick and thats what will cause wrinkles not the hydrocortisone.she said it was completely safe even if i use it the rest of my life.i’m not sure what to believe now! im confused!!

@hero3173 Yep thats exactly how i feel when i don’t use steroids my whole face flares-up, even my eyes swell up! its so upsetting

I have been to see a specialist and they never mentioned protopic to me :S so how does it work?

I will be making more videos soon hopefully i’m active on my blog and twitter if you wana check them out

@EczemaRemedies Hmm well I guess it’s all to do with risk. Hydrocortisone is there to thin the skin because eczema is thick skin, which is a good thing. But as with everything, there’s a risk of other side effects. So I think by her saying it’s completely safe isn’t completely true, using it more increases your risk, but it doesn’t mean there will be side effects for sure. With hydrocortisone I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, so I know I will continue using it.

same here i feel the same way:( the thing annoys me the most is when people look at me and ask why is your face like that:S,protopic is a ointment like hydrocorisone but they say it doesnt thin your skin, i only use it wen my face gets worse i try avoiding steroids,

how do i find u in twitter? i recently made a account

@hero3173 hmm the cream sounds good. i would like to give it a try but im so fed up of going to the GP besides it will take at least 2 months to see a specialist!

@hero3173 go on twitter and type EczemaRemedies. Youtube is not letting me send you the full link for some reaons. the twitter address is on my channel under “about me” .

I’m new to it too…but let me warn you now….it can get so addicitve!!

When are you posting your next video?
