WHAT CAN MY SISTER DO OR USE TO REDUCE THE ECZEMA FROM MY BABY NEICE? SHE HAS TRIED EVERYTHING FROM SOY INFANT BABY FORMULA TO CETAPHIL SOAP.. HER DOCTOR PERSCRIBED A LOTION, AND SHE IS CURRENTLY TAKING BENADRYL (FOR INFANTS) BUT IT DOESNT SEEM TO BE DOING ANYTHING. SHE EVEN WENT TO A DERMOTOLOIST, BUT NOTHING WORKS.
MY BABY NEICE GETS KIND OF LIKE RASHES ON HER CHEECKS AND LEGS AND RECENTLY MY SISTER TOLD ME SHE’S GETTING IT ON HER BACK AND CHEST.. THEY ARE RED AND PUSS COMES OUT(SOME TIMES). IF THE BABY SCRATCHES IT SHE BLEEDS. WE ARE VERY WORRIED AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE??

When i has 5 months old my mum took me off milk completely. I drunk ribena, and took vitamen and calcium pills instead of having milk. This doesnt sound nice but you scratch the most at night when you are asleep, try covering her hands at night so she cant scratch (mittens). It worked for me as a baby, also you tend to grow out of it, so as she gets older it is likely she will grow out of it.

I have eczema’s on the back of my legs, so I know I have to cover up. Is it possible I can wear these thigh high socks? but what can I wear them with? I been trying to find pictures online, I know black thigh high’s will work with black heels and a mini skirt?

Thanks!

is this is a birth mark or eczema or something else? can it go away?

Alan — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 21:49:18 +0000

Question by : is this is a birth mark or eczema or something else? can it go away?
i have a HUGE mark on my stomach. it literally takes up half of my stomach. but im not sure if its really a birthmark. my mom thinks it may be eczema, but what does eczema look like? my mark is dark brown, patchy, and rough feeling with little bumps. my little sister has eczema, but i’ve never had any problems with dry skin. i put lotion on it every day. besides, i’ve had it ever since i can remember. my parents don’t know if i’ve had it since birth. if you think its eczema what can i do to make it go away? or if it isn’t eczema than what is it?

pictures of eczema or other conditions may help me figure out mine, so that would help me a lot thanks!
i forgot, my sister also has a very small patch like mine on her forehead.

I would guess you have eczema, it’s a flora bacteria and once it takes hold, it’s there forever. It will always show on you, either as rough skin darker then the rest, or reddish and rough. You can put a number of things from the Walmart drug store on it to make it so it doesn’t show so much. My own daughter never wore skirts or shorts because she was always ashamed of her legs and what they looked like.
We both go to a dermatologist and get shots every week now to halt our allergies, the shots Xolair are on special request and have to be approved are $ 2400.00 a month but can be approved by the drug company and they will pay. See your doctor for more facts.

what else can my boyfriend do to relieve his eczema?

Alan — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 09:55:42 +0000

Question by elani: what else can my boyfriend do to relieve his eczema?
He refuses to use lotion because it “feels gross”
he has a precription cream to put on the itchy red spots that pop up but what else can he do besides wear lotion to prevent them from coming?

Answer by rachael j
I hate eczema. I get it too.

If it’s really severe, he might have to go on steroids. I knew someone who did and the eczema faded.

Other than that, I’m afraid all you can really do is use lotion and bath soap (hamilton)

Hope that helps,

My 15 month old has eczema bad, what else can i do?

Alan — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 10:51:35 +0000

He got diagnosed with eczema when he was 6 months old, it’s improved tons since then BUT he still has several patches on his ankles, wrists, ears and on the back of his neck. I always keep his nail short, filed and clean. I feel like i’ve tried everything, lotions, steroids, i’ve changed laundry detergents, his diet, EVERYTHING and it just wont leave him alone. He still wakes up and at night everyday, and i feel helpless. Does anybody have any suggestions? We’re desperate for anything.

Talk to your doctor about 2.5% hydro cortisone cream. My son has had it since he was 3 months old and hes 9 months old. You can only get it in a prescription but that is all that i have found that works.

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!

is it contact dermatitis or what? someone else been though this?

Alan — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 17:59:01 +0000

About three months ago I went to the dermatologist cause I have like a red irritation on the side of my penis and its right under the head on the foreskin. The dermatologist told me it was contact dermatitis and perscribed me some hydrocortizone cream. I’ve been tested for every std and they came back negative. My worry is why hasn’t it gone away completely? It looks like a brownish/blueish/purple line and when it flares up it gets red than goes back down… Sometimes it has dry and flaky skin and is very sensitive. I have no insurance to go back to the doctor plus don’t feel its nessassary. I just wanna know if anyone can help me out with what’s going on cause I can’t find any information online. Thanks for any help. P.S. I am circumsized

Who else suffers from Seb Derm?

Alan — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 05:39:46 +0000

Does anyone else suffer from Seborrheic Dermatitis on the face? I’ve managed to lessen my symptoms but it’s really tough to live with something this irritating that doesn’t have a cure. If anyone else has Seb Derm and wants to talk about it… like discuss possible treatments that have/haven’t worked for us… I’d really like to get in contact with you. Let me know
Ok dickhead I understand there are people that are way worse off than I am and I can’t do nothin about that. But why don’t you just f*ck off and let me live my own life.. sound good?
That said d*ckhead incase you were wondering
