Extremely bad case of eczema, can anyone give examples of things that worked.?!


Question: Extremely bad case of eczema, can anyone give examples of things that worked!.!?
I have had eczema since I was 8, I have seen several dermatologists and used plenty of medications!.

My entire body is affected and my skin is infected around 70 percent of the time!. I am on constant antibiotics for it!. I also have extremely bad allergies, and this ties in with my eczema!.

If anyone has had a bad case of it, I am looking for things that worked for you!. Or if you are experienced with dermatology, if you can suggest some things!. Anything to do with medications I can ask my doctor about, hypoallergenic pillows, mosturizers, or anything like that would be very helpful!.

Thank youWww@Answer-Health@Com

To relieve the pain I would say go to the pharmacy and get a shampoo with "tar"!. Use it are regular soap!.!.!.!.!.!.it stinks but helps!. Eat some "fish oil" capsules (the omega ones), this will add some fatty lipids to your skin!. Wear cotton, preferably white, synthetics do not allow skin to breath!. Take luke warm shower!. Do not use bleach or "smelly" detergents in wash (get rid of irritants) including air sprays, harsh household chemicals (wash floor with viniger and water, bathtub with baking soda), use baking soda as tooth paste, keep the air hydrated (use a humidifier), do not use under arm deodarant, perfume, hair spray, makeup, do not shave your legs (allergy reaction to metal may contribute), use cotton pillows and covers (no dawn-filled or synthetic), put cotton curtains on not blinds, eat foods bland, hope this works (from the standpoint of natural pathic meds)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hello, there!.
A year ago I wouldn't even dare go out of the house my face was so horrible with the thick crust of dried up ooze!. Then I discovered Champori anti-eczema herbal cream and spray and - thank God! - it worked like magic: my skin got back to normal in just 2!.5 weeks and has stayed normal for the last 15 months!! I recommend to all people with eczema to try it for themselves!. It's a homemade remedy and It works better than prescribed medications!.
Best,

If you are under a dermatologist's care, why are you seeking help in this forum!? If you think your doctor is unable to treat you properly, get another doctor!. Eczema is not an infection, it is an inflammatory process and there are many treatments but no know "cure" for it!. You will have to try various agents to control the outbreaks until you find something that works for you!. No over-the-counter product works as well as prescription medications; so, as I said follow your doctors recommendations and get another opinion if you are unhappy with your current therapy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
