Eczema Treatment Care

Question by Depressed Soul: HELP!!! Should I continue to use Aloe Vera on my face? I have Eczema :-/?
Ok, this may be a bit along but I hope you can help!

I was depending on hydrocortisone and I realised it has thinned my face, causing it sensitive to the sun. So 3 weeks ago I decided to stop the cream, and after a week lo and below, an eczema attack appeared on my right cheek, it was flaky, peeling, inflamed, itchy, red, but worst of all VERY PAINFUL.

I know that if I give in to hydrocortisone again, the right cheek problem will definitely disappear BUT IT WILL SURELY RETURN AFTER 3-4 WEEKS. That’s how stupid steroid cream works.

So I totally went cold turkey for 10 days until recently someone advised me to try out using Aloe Vera, the real thing from plant. After five minutes using aloe vera and gently rubbing on the area, the itch and redness got reduced and the PAIN WENT OFF! I believe it has also reduced the inflammation. But the flaky, peeling thing is still there.

And at the same day my aunt’s friend heard about my case and gave me a bottle of enzymes that’s made out of natural ingredients, it’s actually a CURE for eczema. Yes, it is a cure, I’m not kidding. Because the friend has children who have eczema and she was pretty pissed off with those western medication, and dermatologist who kept prescribing steroid cream. So the friend went to the extreme by taking a trip down to another country to learn how to make enzymes from a homeotherapist. The friend has given many people the enzymes and those people all have eczema but after using one week of the enzymes, it cleared off their rash and never comes back.

So I applied it on Wednesday’s night and when I woke up yesterday morning, the flakiness and peeling have gone, but still left with 50% of the redness. My aunt told me to try both methods, using aloe vera in the morning till afternoon, and using the enzymes at night for one week and I’ll be healed.

But I’m intend of finishing the aloe vera, since I have a number at my house (don’t feel like wasting it), and it helps to reduce the redness, and I believe that throughout one week of using it the redness will definitely be gone. Then next week start using back the enzymes.

But the problem is, when I use back the aloe vera today, after the thing dried out on my face, the flakiness came back! I don’t feel pain or itchy but it’s just have the flaky and peeling thing. Do you think this is normal? Or do you think I should stop using the aloe vera and concentrate on using the enzymes only? My aunt told me that she trust her friend because her friend has cured many people who have eczema by giving them the enzymes.

Don’t come to me and tell me that there’s no cure for eczema please, I have never buy in that crap, and I don’t believe the phrase,

“If I have eczema, I have to learn to live with it”

WRONG, I always believe that I’ll be able to defeat the symptoms and cure it.

I have realised that doctors and dermatologist always say that is because they don’t know how to cure, they only know how to keep giving you crap steroid cream and making the symptoms worse (side effects of steroid) so that you will come back for more, it’s all aobut the MONEY.

I really don’t believe that the popular incurable diseases are incurable. Believing in incurables is unscientific, and believing in incurables is more like a fanatic religion. What is worse is believing in incurable diseases is a self fulfilling superstition.

I heard that aloe vera is good for atopic dermatitis. But when I directly apply the gel (fresh from the leaf) on my skin, (face) it dries quickly and my skin feels tight. It’s a little uncomfortable, and when I strech the muscles on my face – by opening my mouth, say – it feel really, really weird. Is it just my skin, or is this normal?

I noticed that his skin is cracking and I tried a few creams but nothing works? He has very sensitive skin and atopic eczema now……I wonder if there is anything that can be applied to his face? Helpless mum…
