A new light to ezcema!! 10 years of ezcema finally solved.

this story is about myself who've suffered for 10years of ezcema. I live in Asia for my whole life and seek for doctors to no avail. For ten over years and all I get is some creams and steorioid medicine when my ezcema hit me rock bottom. Until this year it finally got me so desperate...I started researching...

What I really want to share is if your ezcema persist over the years , you really have to review your daily life and suspect anything that maybe a trigger to your ezcema.For me finally after 10 years I found my triggered..mine was eggs allergy and and a common allergen dust mite...

I identify eggs allergy through a food allergy specialist .I guess you can find any food allergies specialist anywhere.The causes of my another allergy was dust mite ..as I live in Asia the humidity is where the dust mite prosper ...

I found out this through experiment with myself ,I covered my mattress and pillow with a layer of plastic material and keep my room dust free...
Within 2 days my flare and inflammation started to fade ..I was so happy I can finally end
my suffering..if you were wondering how serious I was ..

Ezcema all over my body .i flare the worse during cold season from August onwards..from the standard back of the knee and elbow , neck torso even my groin recently .. you named it i got had it..

"Hence what I wan you to do is to experiment yourself !!!"
If you're not going for a specialist doctor they are only going to give you creams and steorioid . Over and over again..there is no ending!

You have to help yourself by experimentation, example "if you like peanuts and you eat them like everyday in a large consumption chances are you allergic to peanuts related food. "

Experiment can be as short as 3days to 1 week if your experiment does not work move on!!

I would say most people suffer from common allergies stated on the Internet, do some research help Yourself!

My dust mite allergy is a rare allergies. I guess it was developed during my early childhood..Due to my Asia climate Singapore!! Hot and humid all year round..
And my egg allergic was during my teens as I was into gym ..I consume alot of eggs about 4-5 a day for 6 months...

To end this , I would say most chronic ezcema is due to allergies and allergies is what causes by exterior things that you're expose to...
your body won't not selfharm ..but your immune system identify certain harmless things as a invader in your body..

And on a side note if you are still finding your allergies/triggers stay away from alcohol and champagne.. as they are trigger to release histamine.. Google that.. histamine is really bad for your skin ..

All the best in finding your triggers
May the suffering and itchiness stop my ezcema friends!

Thanks for your sharing and yes, it is always important to find triggers rather than rely on short term topical prescription for long-term use which will have side effects. Glad to hear things are working out, take care!

I just wanted to help those who are in similar situation. As I understand their pain.and how it can effectively improve their daily life.
ALTHOUGH it maybe hard to identify the triggers, however, it's the solution to the long term

I love your story and it make me want to share my story as well. I used to get really heavy eczema in my knees and elbows. Now I know this doesn't seem to be that big of a deal, but my skin would start to get really nasty sores and it would get so bad because of constant chafing that was happening. I have an a daily runner and most of the time I had to wear sweat pants and a full sweat shirt because I was embarrassed of what other runners thought of my disease looking skin. I tried a lot of different creams, but nothing was really working. During one of my runs, A close friend of mine noticed my skin conniption and asked me about it. I was so embarrassed, but I told her because she was a dear friend. I cried the entire time. Only my family knew about this and no one ever really helped. She mentioned this anti itch powder that she gave her little newborn for her sensitive skin. Told me that her newborn baby butt was always getting diapers rashes. She told me to check out antimonkeybutt and I'm glad I did. This talc free chafing powder really reacted great with my skin. I just put on it before a run and both my eczema and my chafing from running was solved together. Now I run with shorts on and don't have to be afraid of people staring. I trying to avoid average soaps and use any product that isn't Anti Monkey Butt. I know this sound like it isn't real, but it really happened and now my life is much easier to deal with now. Awesome post.
