Eczema or Atopic Dematis

[cnimed]

Breadandmuffins:

Hi, just wanted to check with u. How did u find out the root cause of yr eczema? I went to NSC twice. Both times they prescribed oral steroids. I do not have eczema until last yr . Also no family history. Doctor said I was allergic to paint. Second time said I am allergic to sunlight! Just had an outburst again yesterday when I finished my course of steroids. Even the antihistamine cannot stop my itch which is only on the arms and legs.

Very desperate now as I don't want to see him again as they will prescribe steroids again.

Hi,
I had bouts of severe itch in early adulthood and urticaria. After asking me about my diet, a senior dermatologist put me on a chemical-free diet for three weeks. That took care of it. He was Dr Lawrence Leong. I had the sudden onset of rash and I ran to the nearest building I could find and his office was the first one I came to. I went to him three times, all emergencies, before he put me on the diet. Sadly, by the time I became a mother and needed a dermatologist for ds2, I learnt that he was retired. When I took ds2 to NSC, I learnt from the doctor there that he used to be the head of NSC.

Anyway, you can also look up food chemical, salicylate sensitivity. The \"treatment\" for this is to remove as much chemicals from your diet as possible and see if the symptons are relieved. If it improves, you can slowly add food back into your diet, making periodic adjustment according to your personal threshold. After I went on the three week diet, the periodic itching in my palms and feet also went away. After the episode, I realise that the itching was due to msg when I eat out.

hope you find relief soon!

Hi, parents,


My 5yr old gal can't stop scratching herself leaving alot of scar on her body.

Anyone parents can adv / share on how to stop her itchiness and scratching w/o applying steroid cream too often that can thin her skin in long run.

Hi!
That sounds like eczema. My 7 y/o niece also had a similar problem and used steroid cream. found it ineffective as itching came back after she stopped usage! :stompfeet: My sister tried many different types of creams and lotions but none of them worked, until she used emu oil. After a few days, the itching stopped. My sister also noticed that some of my niece's scars from her scratching has faded. You can check out this link if you wanna know more about eczema cures and causes and how emu oil can help. http://emutracksasia.com/skin-problems/ ... of-eczema/

I developed Ezcema after delivering DS2. My fingers & palm were constantly itchy and the itch was unbearable. Uncontrollably, I scratched hard enough and the skin broke, and the skin became infected and painful. On bad days, I could not even hold chopsticks as the contact with the skin was just too much and had to bandage my hand before I eat meals. Saw many doctors and was given different steroid cream and told to avoid water . But how to? Almost all the activities requires you to wash your hand at some point.


Then a miracle happened.

My MIL went around asking for cure. She came back and told hubby to go and chop Rambutan tree bark and she cook the bark in water with a chinese Stuff ( one that they used in making soy beancurd back in the old days). Sorry, I cannot remember the name. Boiled it with the barks for about 15 mins. Once it is done, I will dipped my hand (palm down) into the very very very hot mixture. It was like scalding yourself with hot water. Not enjoyable but had to go through it. I did it for about 3 weeks and during those times, I saw small improvement everyday, including lesser itch everyday.
Amazingly, at the end of around 1 month, the eczema was gone...Totally! Touchwood! since , it was never back.
For those who dare to try and have access to the 'ingredients', you may try this old traditional method. I think the remedy worked fast on me, because I was able to dip my whole hands into the hot liquid. For other body areas, may have to resort to using towel and put over the body.
All the best. Hope this helps. For those suffering from Eczema, I understand the pain you are going through :grphug:
