Question:
Ok I think I have eczema. I looked up skin rashes online, and this seems like the one I keep getting.?
Its weird though, because I'm 20 now and I started getting these rashes at 18. Never had them before. And I only get them in the months June - September I dont get them all winter. I really get it when I do sports outside, and thats a big part of my life. Now it prevents me from playing because the itch just dont go away.

Well, if you think it's eczema, here's a couple things which helped my husband:
My husband has been dealing with this for years--it was so bad the back of his arms and legs were blistered from him scratching it (though he tried not to). We went to a several dermatologists and nothing they gave him helped much. Then on national public radio someone on a health show was mentioning that eating salsa (or something else really spicy) every day made his excema go away. We tried it and it worked! After a week or so of eating salsa daily his excema was gone...occassionally he'd still have a flare up, but before the "salsa treatment" it was constant (I mean, sometimes it would be worse and sometimes better, but it never went away...but after the salsa he rarely ever had any trouble with it). We're not sure exactly why it works...but his excema was also worse when it was hot, and since eating hot foods and heat in general both affect your sweating, we figure it must have something to do with the sweat glands.
We still wondered why he would get the occassional flare up, until recently. He ate a big dish up scrambled eggs (he rarely ever eats eggs by themselves, though of course there's a lot of things that contain eggs which he eats)--and right afterwards got a really bad case of excema. He looked up egg allegies and found that people who were allergic to eggs would often get a flare-up of excema when they ate them. We've watched what he eats since, and sure enough, if he eats anything with eggs in it, he'll get a flare up of excema.
