Hi there we have all been there and know exactly what you are saying. l do hope you start to settle soon. l always found the wet wraps soothing and helped me to get a nights sleep with minimal blood on the sheets the next morning. Even a cold facecloth on the itchy areas are helpful and depends how ...

Takes ages to find one that suits, been through about 10 different ones over the years, using doublebas for the past 5 years although from time to time it stings the skin when l use it and makes the skin look even more irritated and red, then after a while it calms down. This eczema business is all ...

it does amaze me that there is always someone online any time l am on. l guess it is a bit slow as you say but it is a forum and l suppose not a chat room as such. You can send private messages too which is good. Hope you start to feel a bit brighter soon. j

Hi there l am so glad l joined this forum. Eddie we all know here at the forum exactly what you are saying and l do hope you will get the support you need.

Hi there l cannot use E45 as it made me have a major flare up. There used to be athing called parabens in E45 and it seemed to cause me great trouble. It would be good to maybe try another emollient.

Cool air and being outside is just so refreshing for it esp on my face...

Our other halfs will never fully understand. Only those with a skin disease really understand what it is like although l am sure he wishes he had a magic wand to make you better. However as time goes on and esp since you are havein a flare-up it will take him a while to see the other side of who you...

Message for one who is torn apart. l was like you a while back and l can now wear teashirts and shorts but used to cover up from head to toe. l trust that things will settle for you and your life will improve. With regard to the honey it would need to be the manuka honey and l only use it on open wo...

The medical term for the scars is lichenification. l must say my scars on wrists neck and feet have faded over the years. l do not know if there is any quick fix for the scarring as l have never tried anything. Minimising the scratching of course is crucial but so so hard when the itch is there. l t...
