I hadn't heard of the website but I'll take a look thank you. I had a flare up about 24 hours after my last post and my face went bright red and totally inflamed again. I had to stop using the coconut oil as it seemed to make it worse and switched to applying olive oil on my face. It calmed down a b...

If you're really suffering there's a group I heard of on Facebook called Dr. Aaron. You pay something like £100 for a remote consultancy, send in a bunch of photos and he creates a non-steroidal prescription for you which I think costs £30 for the initial batch (I've no idea about repeats etc) I thi...

I didn't intend the post to become a 'story'. I was trying to document the severity of my eczema and my use of steroids so that if others have experienced TSW they could make comparisons in their replies. I think the suggestion to try meditation is a bit...frustrating? Well it's not what I was looki...

Yesterday, day 5 was a bit of a breakthrough. Started off feeling worse than ever, face completely inflamed with swollen eyes and cheeks. Decided to switch up my moisturisers as they weren't really being effective. Stopped using Doublebase on my face and began using a layer of Aveeno cream, after ap...

I have some time off at the moment and so I've decided to try to stop using topical steroids. I'm 33 and have atopic dermatitis. I had eczema as a child which went away when I was about 6, then prior to my GCSEs at the age of 14, my eczema came back with a vengeance and has stayed with me ever since...

I went to see what I thought was a dermotologist today, she may be, she wasn't a doctor, does this mean she is a nurse? Or some specialised consultant? I'm not sure. I mentioned all of the supplements I have tried and she basically ridiculed the whole thing. The topic of filagrin came up, and the re...

Wish I had seen this earlier, my dermotologist knew nothing about it, had never heard of it, and could not find it on the database. You need to create an account on purepotions.biz, add the item to the shopping cart and proceed to checkout (it's free), then go to the downloadable items area where yo...

I watched the Purepotions lady on either The One Show/BBC Breakfast News a few months back where she talked about how she came up with the 'Skin Salvation' cream to try and cure her daughter of eczema. I remember her saying the product contains Hemp Oil. She also said that it was available on the NH...

Hi there Thought I'd give a bit of an update since I've been taking the Amino Acids for a few weeks now, skin is significantly improved in certain areas, backs of my hands, arms, sides of my chest, back of leg in the joint of the knee, I would say this is a direct result of the Aminos. I seem to hav...

I also take 1000mg Vitamin C with the Amino's. Original article I discovered: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1317927/Body-builder-protein-powder-increase-life-expectancy-10-years.html Dailymail articles explaining benefits: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-201487/Is-safe-amino-ac...
