Anyone diagnosed with Dyshidrotic Eczema?

I was and prescribed Clobex spray. Spray is messy so I put it on only the affected areas with a Qtip. Put it on only twice a day. The nodules on my hand were tough like a callus. I kept putting band-aids with the anti-biotic on them. This would soften and open them up so the clobex could work. I wasn’t afraid to pick at the dry skin left to clear it out of the way of the medicine also. It has cleared the eczema within a week. I hate the idea of using any steroidal meds but so far have to say it works. Also kept areas as dry and cool as possible. Stay barefoot etc. Still waiting to be allergy tested. Has anyone else used the clobex for dyshidrotic eczema and has it stayed in remission for very long afterwards? Thank you and may you stay rash free!

dyshidrotic eczema cure?

I am down to the last drop of my prescription cream for dyshidrotic eczema and I have found nothing that comes close the cream that can allow me to sleep at night without all the itching. It is cold and dry where I live so I am going crazy. Does anyone know of an over the counter livesaver? plain old lotions like jergens and neutrogena don’t help… dermasil even doesn’t touch it…I am going to be insane before spring arrives!

Dyshidrotic eczema on my arms and legs, any ideas for treatment?

I have had Dyshidrotic eczema since I was four years old. But I was only recently correctly diagnosied. My doctor told to use Vasoline intensive care all the time, and he has me using a steriod cream as well. The funny thing is growing up I only had it on my arms and legs. Only in the last year or two have I had any on my hands, and my hands still dont get it that bad. I only have outbreaks in the spring and early summer when Im first in the sun. They come about 12 hours after my exposure, and they taper off as the season progresses and my skin gets more exposure to the sun. Does anyone else have these symptoms, and if so what are you doing to help reduce outbreaks?

Hey loves, i have really gross hands. The pictures are below, but you cant see in the pics that theyre very itchy, have severe eczema, red painful bumps on the insides of my fingers and its awful! Does ANYBODY have a home remedy (most prefered) or a reccomended product to improve them or cure them all together?? Like possibly for tomoro afternoon?? =]

Heres my right hand:

Heres the left hand;

They are NOT warts, i have already gotten my hands checked out by a doctor.
and they have been like this for about about 2 years.

I cant stop itching my hands; Please Read!?

Okay to make a long story short I’ve had these water type blisters on my hands mostly but I itch throughout my body. When I scratch my hands or stomach these bumps come up, and the ones on my hands have like puss in them or clear liquid. What could this be? I’ve had this for about 8 months now. Its driving me crazy. I’ve been to my doctors but he’s a retarded he tells me it’s a allergic reaction to soap, colognes, ect. I know its not because I’ve had it for so long and it wont go away. I’ve looked into all types of eczema types, and none seem to match me! Mine is not that bad. Below are links to pictures of my hands so you all can see. Please let me know if you know what this is called so I can get treatment? Thank you.

why does a gluten free diet help eczema?

im trying it i just dont see how it helps, maybe its because ive only been doing it for four days, but i hear u lose weight too?!

How long should eczema rash take to clear up after eliminating the allergin from diet. My 3 month old has?

had it on face, tummy and legs for about a month now. We figured out he has a milk and soy allergy and have changed his formula so that he is no longer getting those. The rash on his face is better. It started getting better within 12 hours of changing the formula, but his legs and tummy are still pretty bad. Just wondering how long it can take for it to clear up.
He has only been on the new formula for 2 and a half days.

Severe eczema, can it be diet related?

Ive got severe eczema. at the moment it is red, sore and itchy. I have had doctor appointments and speciallist apointments and they cant put their finger on what is causing it. i have heard that it could be diet related. Has any other person with eczema heard this. If so, have you changed your diet and if so, what to. Any suggestions will be great. Cheers.

Allergy Shiners/Dark Circles?

What are the chances of me having allergy shiners? And what are remedies for it? Are there any home remedies?

I’ve been through eczema since I was a newborn. Furthermore, for a couple of years during my childhood, I’ve also suffered with asthma. My asthma stopped when I reached about 10/11 years of age. Unfortunately, I still have eczema. Ever since I was a child, I’m big on eye itching. I itch with hard pressure until my eye bags turn wrinkly, red and scaly. I also usually get red eyes (no idea if it’s from lack of sleep or pollution because whenever I step out of my house and head off to university, which is located in the city, my eyes goes pinkish, tired looking and dry). I have dark circles too. Not too sure about puffy eyes. I started noticing those few years ago Sometimes when I sleep enough, they won’t go away. So I thought maybe it could be related to an allergy towards something…

I don’t know if its relevant but I have atopic eczema. It flares up all over my body and my eyes only (sometimes on the eyes). I’ve been prescribed with hydrocortisone acetate cream for my eyes last year. Could steroids give me dark circles? I’ve only used it for a month.

What to do for toddlers itchy,itchy, itchy skin?

My 20 month old son has eczema and food allergies. He is constantly itchy and scratching his skin 24 hours a day. This is no exaggeration, he even scratches in his sleep. I have to put socks on his hands. My problem is they don’t make one single over the counter itch cream for children under 2 years of age. Was wondering if anyone knew of anything, and I mean anything that I can give him to relieve some of his discomfort. Any home remedies? Please help I am desperate!!! Please ask your parents and grandparents, even any old chinese ladies you might know if they have any old family remedies. Thank you!

What is this skin disorder and how can I treat it ?

1) I’ve hadn’t had any sexual encounters with vixens or any animal.
2)I’ve been to the skin doctor twice with the first doctor saying it’s fungus and telling me to dry off sweat and water and the second doctor saying it’s atopic dermatitis and offered topical steroids for just the symptoms(which doesn’t work ). The second one was less experienced and didn’t spend much time looking at it.
3) My parents don’t seem to have it.
I’m looking for a more concrete answer and not just a spontaneous answer.

Thanks for taking your time to look into the problem.
Great answers. Thanks for your support, but there can only be one best.

Do you think this is chicken pox?

I recently took my 4 yr old to the doctor because once again she had a rash and I wasn’t sure what had caused it (She does have Atopic Dermatitis…I found that out last year so she gets ALOT of rashes!!!) This time around though the doctor feels she has chicken pox! She has had her “bumps” for almost 2 weeks and the doctor felt she would have started “crusting” over the weekend but she did not. In fact alot of the bumps she had on her stomach and such went away without even blistering. Don’t get me wrong…I’m glad she is better but I do want to know what this “rash” was because it does not look like her typical eczma rash she gets. She has had a rash simialar to this one she currently has but we were told back then that they were hives and the Ped. had no idea what they were caused by.

Anyways I was hoping that a few of you might take a look at the picture I placed in my pics at myspace.com and tell me what you think. It is of her leg which seems to be the worst spot right now!
Here is my link to the pic…thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Redness of Face from Seborrheic Dermatitis, any way to improve?

I’ve had Seborrheic Dermatitis for a little while now (7 months about), and I’ve tried countless products. It seems, however, that the more and more products I used, the redder my face got. The flaking is not too bad any more, but my face is red in some areas (cheeks, above mouth, and nose especially). Are there any simple ways to try and return my face back to its normal tone? Thanks.

face rash, Seborrheic dermatitis?

Does anyone else have Seborrheic dermatitis? its what ive been suffering from for almost 16 years now. red flakey rash around my nose, my upper lip, my chin and my eyebrows. its painfull itchy and damn embarrasing! I have given up on the dermatologist perscription creams they just doen seem to do anything. I use nizeral shampoo on my face in the shower and it gives minor relief. My question for anyone else with this problem, what do you use or not use? do you suspect it is an allergic reaction to a food type, i have suspected dairy in the past but its almost imposible for me to cut it out for more than a couple days. then theres the allmighty argument, is it a fungus or yeast. tell me what you think it is and why.

eczema releif (Curel itch defense lotion)?

My 4 year old has severe eczema on her neck, elbows and back of her legs. I saw that Curel has recently came out with a new itch defense lotion they claim its accepted by th national eczema association. Has anyone tried this remedy?

What are the best products to treat eczema?

I currently use Oil Of Olay Shea Butter body wash, and then use Curel on my dryer areas after I shower.

I also use Cortaid or Dermarest for when I get especially dry patches.

This can all get pretty tedious at times, and I guess what I’m looking for is a body wash that moisturizes well enough that I would only need to use lotion minimally after I shower.

Also, any recommendations on how to fade out scars from areas where I scratched too hard and broke skin would be great, too. I currently use Palmer’s Cocoa Butter lotion, but it kind of leaves a greasy residue.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

What are some good lotions or home remedies for extremely dry skin?

I have eczema and with it being cold out, my face has decided to become extremely dry, but only around my mouth. It feels like its just a layer of dead skin that doesnt want to go away. Im currently using Curel for eczema, but the lotion just sits on top of the skin and I need to reapply it 5 minutes later. Does anyone know of a really good lotion that would help me out or anything else for that matter?

Does dermatitis herpetiformis from Celiac Disease resemble psoriasis?

Okay… is dermatitis herpetiformis scaly, red, and in some areas look like really dry flaky skin? (and when you put on cream it seems to come back/not completely go away)? Does it look anything like psoriasis? Does it resemble eczema?

How long after eating gluten does a rash occur when you have Dermatitis Herpetiformis (Celiac of the Skin)?

Looking more for information as to how long after eating gluten before rash appears – I assume it’s not as quick as the gi issues but not sure. I don’t eat gluten – but have had restaurant mishap.

Dermatitis herpetiformis and celiac disease ?

For the past 4 months iv been really unwell and had a lot of tests done.
I was tested for celiac diease which looked likely for me, it was a blood test but it came back negative.
I have bad stomach aches after eating, headaches, fatigue, nausea, tingling in my feet and hands, with occasional diarrhea/constipation altering.
I also have light rid dots around my elbows which i was wondering if that could be a sign of dermatitis herpetiformis, a symptom associated with celiac ?
And also could it be possible i am developing celiac disease but it just hasnt built up enough to show in my blood yet ????
