Here is some info that will offer nearly instant relief from your eczema. What I’m going to say will surely show results as my eczema has improved by 90%. So I was about 25yrs old (currently 33) when all of a sudden eczema popped up out of nowhere. And it was literally ALL OVER MY BODY. I stopped going to the pool and stopped getting massages cause it was so bad. When I finally went to the dermatologist she instructed me to make the following changes.
1. Warm showers only. Absolutely no extreme hot showers
2. 10 minute showers per day. That means, if taking 2 showers in a day then 5 minutes each
3. Unscented hypoallergenic soap only. Absolutely no fragrance body wash. (I had previously been using Irish Spring soap)
4. Lastly, moisturize with coconut oil within 3 minutes after exiting the shower. The same unrefined coconut oil that you find in your cooking aisle at the grocery store. It’s super important to moisturize within 3 minutes as this will help your body to lock in its natural moisture.
All of these things combined has been life changing for me. I have maybe 1 or 2 flare ups a year now. Mostly only after I travel to different climates or the weather starts to change from summer to winter. And I’ll admit, during the summer months my eczema calms down so much that I kind of get away from using the coconut oil daily as I should.
Hope this helps guys

Stress sounds like the cause, or how you handle the stress. I have been stressed a lot lately and all of a sudden I have eczema on my legs arms and now on my shoulders. I was drinking some because of the stress and that certainly did not help. I heard that balancing the gut microbes can help because sometimes it's the imbalance of microbes in our gut that leads to eczema

Hey there . I’m sorry to see what you go through . I am in the same position as you are and I’m only 14 years old and had it for over a year now :( I’m in tears everyday wondering why this is happening I’ve went to many dermatologist and my parents payed so much money for things that work for a little then not at all later on. I’ve been on soooo many pills and steroid shots . I even had to do a blood test to see my allergies and turns out , I am allergic to everything . 3 full pages of things that I am allergic to. After figuring that out , I still have the same rashes and allergies I had in the beginnings still . I don’t know what to do anymore . This really sucks especially to go to school like this

You are not alone in this ... I feel exactly the same.. currently doing accupunture with herbs and it feels like it's getting worse. But, I have faith and we will get through this. It needs to get worse before it gets better

I am in the same exact boat! It's crazy to say but, my Dr started giving me pills to take after so many years of getting the allergy steroid shot. The shot will definately do damage in the lonh run but will work and the pills will work, but after they are gone . BOOM back with avengance! The only thing I could recommend is eating right, stress free (try) , I am trying my best but. Smh it's hard. I am currently having the worst flare up ever right now! Stay positive.

I've been struggling with the same thing, as we currently speak I've just showered and experiences the same pain. It's crawled up to my neck, and my face now too. I can't even bend my legs and corticosteroids and topical creams just end up making it worse. Apparently you can get steroid withdrawals after relying on topical creams and corticosteroids and thats what makes so aggressive afterwards. Apparently eczema has a lot to do with your gut health, and I just recently learnt this. Staying away from eggs, dairy, gluten, fast foods etc. Is a good idea when you struggle with eczema and leaky gut. When you eat a lot of these food or even very difficult to digest foods it can escape through your leaky gut and into your blood stream where your body tries to fight that off and goes inflamed. Do some research about it, I'm gonna try resolve it from the inside. And it's so weird because I'm a very healthy person too, I haven't had fast food in probably months and I barely even eat meat. I'm very plant based and healthy too so I just find it so weird.

yea i used that too now my dermatologist has put me on injections called Dupilumab, but i don't see it working i have been on it for over 2 mths, then they put me on prednisone and that worked good but then when i finished like you it has gotten worse. I am sick of using steriod creams they do nothing for me but i will tell then about this one. I am doing my own research now i have had it with this.

I have had a bad eczema break out and gas come in places it’s never come before all over my body from my face to my feet. I am going to an Ayurvedic nurse today to see if she can help me with natural remedies to clear this up. I pray it works because the flare ups have become more consistent and worse!
