What are some remedies for eczema?

January 7th, 2011 Guest Author 6 comments

I have had eczema since i was a baby, and i have been growing out of it, like its not bad on my face (sometimes though, but i don’t really get acne due to already having eczema(: ) and my arms as better as well, but its my legs that are really pushing it. I have Aveeno lotion, a neutrogena lotion, I have an ointment prescribed by my dermatologist, pills also that help my itching and i occasionally go tanning, but when i go tanning, i dry out. should i take a shower after i go tanning?
And is it stress that’s mostly causing it? I do scratch at night, i have cats and a dog -____- im allergic to dogs but i never thought it was that bad. should i avoid contact with my pets, and cover up my skin.? And does aloe vera work? I’m just really desperate for remedies and tips. My legs have gotten really red and rashy the past few days, thank you x

ea, been to derm23 yr old male, long sufferer of rosacea many times, I need new insight and my own experience?

Had Rosacea since senior high. Ever since I’ve been seeing derm with some success but I always end up coming back, either the product stopped being effective, or product had recieved a ban from the FDA. Also did light therapy session with little improvement.

I’ve used atleast 6 different topical cream just for rosacea, all if not most contain some sort of steroid and other chemicals I am afraid to have on my skin in the long term.

My rosacea can get ugly, with not just flushing but also bumps and blemishes. The most difficult part to treat is the ones located under my lower eyelid because using certain topical creams can thin the skin, you know what that means, ladies.

September 2008 is when I took a risk. I switched all my skin-care products to all-natural including shaving. Either it was going to get better or worse. It did get better, in 10 minutes saw noticeable result on the mirror! I felt the debris from the roscea just slide away, I can feel it on the tip of my fingers. This natural regimen caught the rosacea at its very early stage before it became full-blown, overnight. Obviously, I am also aware about other conditions that may play a role in causing rosacea to appear.

But fast forward to today, combination of getting fever, exposure to wind all day, physical stress made me breakout into a more widesprea area under the lower eye. It seems uncontrollable with the stuff I’ve been using for more than 6 months. It’s as if my rosacea adapted to this new forumala, like a virus mutating into someting else that resist current treatments. I dont know this is happening.

I just need to know if someone out there has had any success formulating their own regimen using natural products. I have very sensitive skin and also prone to acne and other skin-related issues like eczema and seborrea.

The products that I used for my face: Dessert Essence: Jojoba Oil, Burt’s Bees: Tomato Soap, Dessert Essence: Tea Tree oil.

For my hair, I use various Burt’s Bees hair products, they are 98-100% natural and provided some relief with seborea on the scalp. I could not risk using chemicals that tend to flow over my face as I shower.

Again if you found something that works for you that is all-natural skin-care products or have tips on how to deal with rosacea that not commonly found over the Internet, kindly share them.

Can I let all you skin condition sufferers out there in on a secret?

Coconut oil is the cure for every skin condition known to man. Not many people have heard of it. It cures acne, eczema, dermatitis, warts, fungal infections, and hundreds of other things. A lot of people think "How could rubbing oil on my acne help? Wouldn’t that cause more zits?" No. Coconut oil is not a GREASE, it’s an oil. Big difference there. If you rubbed French fry grease or Canola oil on your face, it would cause zits. The oil dries out the zit and kills the bacteria that cause it while moisturizing your skin. This works for all skin types, and almost no one is allergic to it. Test it on your arm, just in case. Go to www.Wikipedia.com and search the uses of coconut oil. It cures WAY more that skin problems too. Go check it out, you will love it. They sell it at Wal-Mart, it’s about five dollars. Painless… =] Good luck.
leave a comment or question if you want! has anyone here ever heard of coconut oil other than me?
