<![CDATA[Eczema problems, Allergy &amp; Rashes...Solutions...]]>I have eczema and when it flares up, it is coupled with urticaria (hives). My eczema is not localised but all over the body, very similar to chicken pox.


My dermatologist prescribed steriod cream and Aqueous moisturiser ($3/tube 100ml) but only works if it’s a mild eczema. They don’t seem to help if there is a flare-up.

My gf introduced me to Physiogel AI cream. It is effective but very expensive @ $37 for a 50ml tube. My son has eczema on his hands and feet too and I’m also using the AI cream on him.

Does anyone here has a good recommendation of moisturising cream that works for eczema but doesn’t cost a bomb?

Consult a healthcare provider or dermatologist for personalized advice, as what works for one person may not work for another due to the individual nature of eczema. Look for emollients, fragrance-free and hypoallergenic products, and online reviews to find the best option. Consider lifestyle changes like avoiding triggers, using gentle soaps, and keeping the skin well-hydrated. Ask for samples from dermatologists or doctors to try different products before committing to a full-size product.

It employs a personalized approach to develop individualized treatment plans, considering the patient's genetics, environment, and lifestyle.


These methods aim to improve gastrointestinal integrity and function, which, in most cases, is the root of this disease. It includes a balanced diet plan using key nutrients like omega 3 and 6, zinc, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, glutamine, curcumin, and bioflavonoids that play a role in skin health.

It used to be so bad that welts will form every other minute.


I totally went cold turkey on steroids and any meds/anti-histamines that the doctors gave. Instead, I flushed my system with lots of liquids (mainly tea - if you read online, the ancient Chinese folks use tea as medicine), stopped scratching, slept earlier (liver helps with detox best during 10pm-2am) and basically tried to re-wire my system. The flare ups never got so bad anymore after 2 weeks. I ignore any small irritations and I dare say that the situation really improved a lot.

Try alternative therapies like hynotherapy too! Can help to re-wire your deep consciousness so the brain learns not to trigger the flare ups.

It helps to know what the triggers are via skin prick test, but can also give the above a try cos I find it troublesome to schedule the tests, and likely I might not even quit those foods that cause the symptoms (like eggs or chilli).

My name is Eunice and I have battled with eczema for 15 years ever since I was a child. My condition is better now but looking back, it really hasn’t been an easy journey to walk. Through the years, I saw how helpless my mom was, seeing her child (me) managing daily pains and a persistent eczema condition. My mom also has eczema, so on some days when things get tough… it does feel like a double whammy. I can resonate with the discomfort that children with eczema face on a daily basis, and can only imagine the heartbreak that a mom experiences seeing your child suffer.

I hope these resources may be of help for you and your child who is suffering from eczema, or if you're interested to find out more about eczema condition in general:

September last year, my mom and I started visiting this TCM clinic called Oriental Remedies. They adopt a more holistic approach towards healing and combines traditional TCM with technology such as Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) and Negative Ion Therapy. We have seen some decent progress in our recovery over the months and we really liked that the clinic is patient-centered as well, they made us feel at home and it felt like they really understand what we're going through.

Here are some details if you would like to check them out:

Those of you who are affected by it know the discomfort and pain it impacts on your daily life like scratching, fatigue, poor sleep and more. Through a lot of research we have identified the foods to eat and created new recipes to overcome her eczema.

Shazz here. Came across this thread and would like to share some advice, I hope it helps!


Eczema can be due to multiple factors, a malfunctioning immunity is one of them. Other factors include poor gut health, exposure to potential allergens or environmental toxins and so on.

In TCM terms, eczema is usually linked to deficiencies in Qi (vital energy) especially in the spleen, kidney and liver. This results in a weakened immunity, causing one to be more susceptible to external pathogenic factors such as wind, heat, cold and dampness – this is more evident in kids.

Essentially, by making sure that your immune system is working at its best helps to prevent pathogens from entering the body which causes flare-ups. It is also best to also avoid steroid/chemical-based products to prevent potential side effects in the long run especially for kids as their skin is more delicate.

To understand better, you can read more here:

Here's also an article with a comprehensive list of tips and other reliable solutions to help you manage your eczema depending on your symptoms. While the article focuses on children, the recommendations here are definitely applicable to both children and adults (especially if you are looking for a gentler option!)

Always ask for Doctor’s advice. It’s the best first thing to do

]]>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2007241https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2007241Tue, 08 Dec 2020 09:45:58 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Eczema problems, Allergy &amp; Rashes...Solutions... on Tue, 08 Dec 2020 06:39:53 GMT]]>When the symptoms of eczema are not controlled in children, it can affect their quality of life. The itching and scratching can be distressing for your kid, and it can increase their risk for skin infections. Eczema in children can affect their sleep, physical comfort, self-image, and social interactions. Controlling and managing the eczema symptoms in children helps prevent food allergy. That’s because it will help them to have healthy skin, which protects their immune system from being exposed to food allergens. This will make your child’s skin barrier function better to prevent the irritants from getting in. Moreover, if the first exposure to food is through the digestive tract of your child, their immune system will more likely tolerate the food.

It's not only our gut bacteria that is important, those on our skin are also important. During a flare, one will see an imbalance of bacteria on our skin.

While you are using ointments and creams your existing eczema it is also important to work on its cause as well. It can occur due to problems in the immune system. As well as it is found in families with history of other allergies and asthma.
It is all related to your immune system so consult with a doctor regarding it as well.

I have applied different solutions in the past, to the extend I think I have tried every single moisturiser in the pharmacist and also different strengths of cortisones to control the severity of her skin and not let it flare up. None came to a permanent solution until this one that I have used last.

Please feel free to PM me as I’m not sure if I can share the product online due to copyrights. But we can chat over WhatsApp and I can show some of the pictures on the improvements of my daughters eczema.

For a young child, he may grow out of it by 8/9 years old. Use calamine lotion. Dont use those that are heavily medicated coz it might be a passing phase. You don’t want overdose.

actually it's advisable to use moisturiser.
