You’re asking for a lot. I think the first thing is to get a correct diagnosis. Eczema (aka dermatitis) is related and usually less severe than psoriasis, but only a dermatologist can tell for sure. I have moderate to severe dermatitis (if untreated) have studied it pretty extensively in medical school libraries, and I wouldn’t hazard a guess.

Frankly, I wouldn’t rule out not being able to see a doctor. Check with your local human services office or the community outreach office of a hospital. I’m not telling you which therapy will work best for you. But it’s worth investigating your options. I tried many therapies (traditional, Chinese, alternative, etc.) until I found one that works. You’d better be prepared for a long hard struggle to wellness. Just make sure you’re heading up the right path, and if you don’t know what your options are, your chances of getting well are more limited.

Via www.dermtv.com – Developing a rash from poison ivy surely puts a damper on your summer fun. But how does that rash find its way to body parts that never came in contact with that pesky plant? Is the rash contagious? Can you spread it to your friends? Dr. Schultz will get to the truth about poison ivy. Transcription People ask me, can they spread poison ivy on themselves or to the people around them , and the short answer is, no you can’t. When you catch poison ivy, it’s because you’ve touched the plant, you’ve broken the leaf, and the oils from inside the leaf get on your hand, and with your hand, you touch yourself, you touch other places, and that’s how you’ve put the poison ivy on you. But once you wash yourself that day, you’ve washed off those oils from the plant and you can’t spread it any longer. However, all of the spots you touched that day before you washed yourself will develop the rash for the poision ivy, but each successive spot has less oil, takes longer to come out, and that’s why you see the poison ivy coming out over a period of almost ten days. But you’re not spreading it on yourself. It’s already happened before you got washed.

Question by Doll Face: I would like some help with my Eczema?
I am 15 and I have eczema. I model so usually I have to get my pictures fixed, or put makeup on my arms. It isnt like totally noticeable, but if you stood next to me, you could tell I have it. I also do pageants and it sometimes makes me self conscience to wear dresses because of my arms. I have seen a dermatologist and my doctor, but they said I am too young to get anything done, and I just have to “deal”. But apart from not liking the way it looks, it DOES itch and my skin gets all red. If it was less itchy, I would not care about how it looks.

Are there any moisturizers that I can use in the shower, then like after the shower put on a special cream? Or anything??? I want something that will make it be as smooth as it could be. I know it won’t go away 100%, but I would like it to change at least a little.

Thanks!

Please no rude answers :)
