Re: Starting a diet today to see if my eczema goes away

Hi, I followed this diet for 3 days (longest 3 days of my life :lol: how can people live without milk and bread? ) and then stopped because my allergist prescribed a blood analysis to check if I had any food allergies. I got tested for all sorts of foods: fish, chicken, beans, lentils, wheat, milk, ...

Re: Good Cream that works!!!

After spending a lot of money on all sorts of creams, I tried the classic Nivea (blue tin) and guess what, it was better than any other cream I've ever tried. It calms the itchiness right away. I think that the fact that this cream is so thick is what makes it good for me. I actually tried it becaus...

Re: Toctino - anyone tried it? I would like to hear from yo

I had never heard of toctino... I have hand eczema as well, but I'm afraid I can't take it because of the side effects. I'm 30 and I'm currently trying to get pregnant. It looks like it's very dangerous for the fetus... so :roll:

Re: Phototherapy

Hi, Sunlight is also incredibly healing for me, especially in combination with sea water... My father-in-law also has eczema (I know too many people that have this problem) and the doctor prescribed UV light treatment. He's almost healed now... I was tempted to ask my doctor about this but I haven't...

Re: How to stop the itching at night

My pompholyx is finally better and I just wanted to share some pieces of advice: - I didn't do anything special, I just used the corticoid ointment the doctor prescribed and, as bad as corticoids are they were the only thing that helped. - The doctor also prescribed an ointment called Protopic 0.1% ...

Re: Eczema suffer 14 y/o

Hi Jason, I have hand/feet eczema, which is a different type from yours, but what you have sounds very similar to my brother's eczema (yes, it runs in the family :lol: ). He also has it around the armpits, chest, arms and especially on the wrists. Just a few pieces of advice: - Take short showers, a...

Re: The pill and Eczema

Hi, Not sure if this will help you, but I have had eczema before, during and after using Nuvaring (vaginal ring contraceptive). Are you sure it's the pill that's causing the eczema? If you think it is, then I would try to stop using it for a while, you can also try Nuvaring which is just as effetive...

Re: How to stop the itching at night

Last night I took two pills, instead of one, of the antihistamines I was prescribed. I still woke up at 2-3 am but my sleep was so profound that I could go back to sleep very fast and didn't even get up to moisture my hands/feet. The antihistamine I take at night is used in a dosis of one pill for a...

Re: Hi, I have pompholyx or dishydrosis

Hi again, I just came back from the allergist and I got tested for several foods (blood tests), I'll have results in 10 days. I went expecting to take the patch test but she said I can't do that while I'm on antihistamines as that would affect the results, so she advised to take the patch test when ...
