Anyone else diagnosed with Dyshidrotic Eczema and how do you cope with an outbreak?

Alan — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 04:48:42 +0000

I have had the worst outbreak the last couple weeks. The blisters were so bad on one foot that I have been on crutches to avoid putting pressure on my foot. Besides my one foot, it had spread on my hands, arms, and a little on my ankles. My other foot has only 3 or 4 blisters. I had a shot Friday, it was like a steriod shot, and on steriods for a few days. The cream I have used to keep it from spreading was not working like it should.
Just wondering if anyone has found a way to keep the blisters under control before they spread worse.
Thanks for any help!

Question by nycny4141: Types of food/liquids to avoid when diagnosed with Eczema?
I went to a dermatologist today and he said I have eczema, and I got prescription to foam/cream. I want to know if there are particular foods to avoid and should alcohol be avoided to reduce the effect of eczema?

Answer by Amari
The main cause of eczema is overreaction of the immune system. Identifying certain foods, chemicals, etc can be very helpful in battling this disease. I try to avoid soy and milk products which trigger my flare-ups. I try to reduce my stress level as well by exercising and meditating. I do try to avoid alcohol.
After using number of prescription drugs I’ve turned to the natural treatments.
Now I use serenaskin herbal remedies , which aim at the root of the disease – the immune system, and are steroid-free.
After about 2 weeks of using ointment and spray my skin has been cleared up and now I just continue with eczema extract, which controls the immune system. My skin has been clear for months now.
It is the only treatment I have found that provides me complete relief when I use it as directed.

My son was diagnosed with eczema at his 2 year check up today? What cream do you recommend for his skin?

Alan — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 16:42:44 +0000

We normally lotion him twice a day with regular Johnson and Johnson lotion. The doctor said that we can’t use regular lotion anymore. We have to use a cream. She recommended aveeno or eucerin. Is there anyting else out there that you would recommend?

As diagnosed by my doctor, I have eczema on my scalp. What can I do to relieve the itching?

Question by Misc: As diagnosed by my doctor, I have eczema on my scalp. What can I do to relieve the itching?
I have been given a liquid and a shampoo, but with my incredibly thick hair, it is a challenge to get to the scalp. Even the dermatologist thought this may be an issue. Do any of you have a home remedy or over-the-counter purchase that has provided some relief and can get to the scalp, through thick hair?

Tea tree oil may help. Or get a shampoo with Tea Tree shampoo. I know you mentioned over the counter but Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo is awesome for soothing heads with eczema and other itchy type scalps such as psoriasis.

You can also get tea tree oil at any health store. You can suspend a few drops in some massage oil or other hair oil and massage your scalp for a few minutes, then shampoo and rinse. Make sure the get into all the itchy patches that you may have!! It does cause a tingly sensation on the scalp, and some people do not expect this and it scares them!!

Good luck!!

I was diagnosed with scabies last night and I got the cream and put it on but I don’t think I really have it!!?

Alan — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 10:42:53 +0000

So I was diagnosed with scabies yesterday and a couple weeks before this I was diagnosed with dermatitis and I don’t know which is correct? I got the cream and put it on last night and washed my clothes and bedding but I don’t think I have scabies because I haven’t been in close contact with anyone except my bf and he doesn’t have scabies. I read that it can only be contagious through prolonged skin to skin contact and I want to know if that’s true. I am scratching a lot but it’s not keeping me up at night. The doctor who diagnosed me with it did no testing and just said that’s what I had in like one second of looking at it and not even looking at it closely so I am having doubts that I have it. I am currently living with my parents and now they are worried about getting it but I think they would’ve had it by now and I just don’t know how I got it in the first place?? If you can help me that would be great! Thanks!
