okay I am not a doctor or anything…..but I think it feels good because the water hitting your skin is a soft way to Itch it…I know when I sit in front of a heater too long my skin starts to feel itchy….it has something to do with drawing the blood closer to the surface of the skin…..I think… any ways my opinion on why it feels good is because when something itches… it feels good to scratch it….right?

Tell him to go jump in a lake.

I am not really kidding, the lake will not have the chlorine that the local public pool has.

Why doe he want to keep the eczema?

It is fairly easy to get rid of it now, just spray on some 2.5 PH water, and it will go away in about 6 months. You can actually get a sample of the water for free. Place a wanted add on Craigslist, and ask for some alkaline water.

Good Luck!

I’m having a pretty bad reaction to it. My skin is red and some spots look waxy white and it does feel rough. I’ve been putting polysporin on it for the past 2 days but it’s getting worse. Its about 3 inchs long and a inch wide. By description it sounds like a burn. I’m really not sure if the oil can really give a burn like this though? Would this also fit a severe contact dermatitis reaction? It was pure essential oil that I spilled and wiped off myself with tissue.

Thanks

I had irritant contact dermatitis from a Nair chmical burn on the face and it has caused postinflammatory hypopigmentation “It presents as poorly defined whitening of the skin which is irregular in outline. Often the loss of pigment is partial rather than complete. ” Is there anything I can use or do to help get back the pigment in the skin e.g. creams, treatments at dermatologist, prescription drugs etc… I’m so worried that it might be scarred and no longer able to re pigment I’ve had this for some time first turned out to be a red mark but then loss color in the skin. What are treatments that dermatologists do to fix this and the prices because I don’t have much money and it probably won’t be covered under OHIP.
Thanks to the people that reply, I’m desperate for solutions!
