Flared up? tried everthing for over 20 years. ECZEMA AHH?!
Question: I have had atopic eczema for all my life but i think i have been wrongly diagnosed. I have seen countless doctors,dermatologists,herbalists, chinese docs,ect.
NOTHING has worked. I had it all over my body but with the help of steroids steroids and more steroids it gradually went away. Then when i hit 13 it came all over my face this web-like red rash. My skin is like paper, it hurts like burning hell in the shower. The steroids have made my face, neck and chest red and itchy and broken, fragile. When the ckin repairs its like a tight mask of flacky skin. Its so sore i feel sick and i tend not to go out cos i sweat at clubs and it makes it worse and im normally irritated and feel like hiding away. I cant wear make up and im not preety. My BF doesnt notice but i dont feel sexy flared up so i stopped going out alot as a result he dumped me. At college i have exams and im mega stressed.
E45,bath oil, steroids, vaseline,baths, bath salts,exercise, good eating dnt wrk

really? it's time to know that even if there is no cure for eczema yet you can prevent it from flaring up by taking steps and knowing what should be avoided.
- avoid perfumed skin care and body care products
- avoid extreme hot and cold weather conditions
- avoid keeping fingernails long
- avoid scratching the affected area
- avoid long baths
- avoid processed foods and foods with preservatives
- avoid skin irritants and allergens like dusts and pollens
- avoid clothes and material that are rough, course, scratchy and tight
- avoid activities that can make you sweat
- avoid smoking and alcohol
what will be helpful is the use of an all natural skin care treatment for eczema. try to be gentle with your skin. visit http://www.skinoriginal.com for more tips on how to rejuvenate skin.
Have you tried Protopic that works on my son when his eczema flares up,maybe you should get a allergy test done ,it might be that certain foods or items of clothing set it off,i know what your going through i see it everyday with my boy,i wish you well and hope it works out for you and eventually you will meet someone who will except you for who you and dont stress so much,that also can set it off.
geez- you poor thing. when was the last time you saw a doctor? I would find a naturalistic doctor and see what they say.
i have Exzema too I found that Oatmeal bath and baking soda worked good for me.
