My eczema was so severe as a child that I couldn't take my childhood shots until I was 15 years old. It was a bit traumatizing as a child with all the teasing I endured due to children and adults thinking I had a contagious disease, not to mention the school stand-offs because I didn't have my childhood shots. But that all changed the summer of 82 when I was 16, my parents decided to find a new dermatologist because the present one couldn't seem to help me. Dr. Martin, my angel, he was more than just a doctor to me, he was family and I loved him like a grandfather. When I was 18 he called me into his office and told me he was going to retired now because I didn't need him anymore. I cried but understood and thanked him for helping and supporting me. My parents were not rich and Dr. Martin treated me for free for 2 years and he held off his retirement until my skin was clear and healthy. I'll will always be grateful, he changed my life. I still miss him and so thankful to him 36 years later.
Kay Lewis I'm so glad you were able to find someone to help you. Your doctor sounds like a living angel. If I may ask, why did those other doctors have you hold off on childhood vaccines?
@@janea7592 Because I was allergic to everything. If I listed all things I wasn't allergic to, the list of what I was allergic to would have been a mile long. So, because of that fact the doctors were afraid to vaccinate me.
Excellent Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Franaar Alive Skin Formula (just google it)? It is a great one off guide for beating eczema without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my good mate called Gray got astronomical results with it.
@@natasaceko9615 Where can you purchase Franaar ? Been searching with no luck. Thanks for your help
Appreciate video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Franaar Alive Skin Formula (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good exclusive guide for beating eczema minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my old buddy Taylor after a lifetime of fighting got amazing success with it.
Thank you for this video. I have just had my first flare up of eczema and it's absolutely awful. I've been binge watching your videos for about a week now and you're amazing. Hope you have a great weekend.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. No one would have taken the time to explain the problem so well to me. You are very generous with your time to explain to us in every detail. I started using fragrance-free laundry detergent and fabric softener. I threw away a pair of jeans that were fading. I will follow your advice and buy a product that can remove scratches. I'm probably gonna need the ointment and the cream. Here in Quebec City, it is very difficult to see a dermatologist. We need a prescription from the doctor. And, they never have time for a detailed explanation. Thank you again! You're saving my life...hihi!
My dad has been suffering from this skin condition for over a decade, and finds it highly difficult to manage. I will relay your tips in this video to him, and pray that we see some improvement. Thank you for taking the time to address this disease, which, while mostly harmless, can certainly disrupt one's day-to-day life. Please keep doing what you do!
I just got diagnosed with this after 2 years of having it. Really feel good now that I know what I'm dealing with.
Thank you so much for this! I recently stopped wearing skinny jeans because it was flaring my eczema. I assumed it was due them being tight on my legs, it never occurred to me that it was the dye!
Sweat is something that can cause my eczema to flare immediately so not getting too hot and staying cooler is imperative. You are correct about the really hot water and Atarax is an excellent drug to help with the itch. I was born with eczema from head to toe and have used hundreds of moisturizers. The very best I have ever used is the Aveeno Eczema care cream. It is like a miracle for my skin - truly a miracle.
Excellent video! Thank you 😊 It would be great if you could do a video on cellulitis. My husband had it on his shoulder last week, but they diagnosed it too late and he had to be hospitalized. He’s since recovered, but a video on recognizing it would be very helpful. Thanks, again!
Hi Dr. Dray ! Just the video I really needed at this time. I’ve been suffering from eczema since the start of winter here in Canada. This is really very helpful and informative. Thank you Dr Dray ! I really really appreciate you !!! 🇨🇦
stress is the worst for this condition
Thank you for information on what sounds like a very difficult skin condition,l truly feel for those who are inflicted with it, especially children. It's wonderful to have someone like yourself, you is qualified to give your medical opinion, a place where you're viewer's can begin to determine if they should seek out a healthcare professional for themselves.
Happy Friday Enjoy your weekend ☺🍁
Thanks for watching Ms Shari & hope you have a great weekend
Thank you, Dr. Dray. I had terrible flairs of eczema in college due to stress. Now my granddaughters and my son in-law have to deal with it. This is helpful information that I can pass along.
Another informative video,as always! Learn so much from u:)
Dr. Dray, you are a veritable angel. The skincare information you share is backed by science and always peppered with your sly, wry, and dry humor. ;-). A sincere THANKS to you, dear doctor, for educating us and steering us straight. You are saving skin -- and bank accounts -- one sunscreener/subscriber at a time. :-)
Learning more with each video and helping my eczema - thank you Dr Dray xx
Glad to hear this was helpful :)
This is why when I mention your channel to anyone, I refer to you as my "UA-cam Dermatologist/Life Coach". Thanks again.
Thanks for your support & Happy Friday 🍂💜🍂💜🍂
Great video, ty, learned a lot!! Have a great weekend!!
Dr Dray's advice is a ton of help to all sufferers.
Thank you for this excellent educational video. The pictures were very helpful. It gave me hope to get my condition under control.
Thank you for making this informative video. You've helped me so much x
Hope you have a wonderful weekend Dr Dray!!!
You too 💜
Dr. Dray I know this is an old video so I don’t know if you’ll see this but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing this information. I don’t know how many times I went “Oh my God that was me!” during this and some of your other videos. I’ve researched skin conditions myself but you are such a wealth of spot on information as well as compassion. I wish your channel was around when I was younger and struggling with these conditions. Sometimes I felt like I was going crazy dealing with all that and knowing there’s an explanation is almost as good as medical treatment lol.
Keep up the good work!
thanks for watching
I do not suffer from this condition but am grateful to learn from your video just in case I come across someone who does & can pass on what I've learned from you. As always THANK-YOU for taking the time to educate us. Have a great Friday!!
Thanks Ms Annie!
@@DrDrayzday thank you for the information. I just found out yesterday I have this condition, the patches I have are not itchy at all but however my head has this burning sensation. If you could suggest something for that I would be grateful to you. Thank you in advance
Dr Dray, thanks so much for such detailed advice ...you're a caring and kind doctor ! Q: how about Cerave Cream, is this as good as Vanicream for dermatitis/ecezma?
I’m so grateful to happen across this video. I have for several years been suffering with an unknown skin disease that several doctors have given several names to. I have pretty much had to diagnosed myself with the help of God. I did a lot of research and have looked at a lot of gruesome looking skin disease just to find which fits my skin disease. I think I may even go back to school to become a dermatologist because I feel so sorry for skin disease sufferers. The characteristics of nummular fits the closes. The redness, the itching, the constant weeping, the coin size lesions, the thickness and scaliness all are signs are there. I think because I’m dark skinned it was hard for the over 50 dermatologists i seen at a tri-study were all puzzled. So for 15 years I have gone undiagnosed. I don’t blame them at all. It has made my faith in God a little more stronger. I’m just glad I now know what it is and can now manage it. Everything you said in your video gave me the confirmation I needed. Again thank you for caring enough to make this video. I have definitely subscribed to your channel.
Hey
I also suffer with discoid eczema and because I'm dark-skinned the corn shaped patches are even darker than my normal skin, it looks terrible and I feel very uncomfortable with it to the point where I only go out in public, long jeans and long sleeve. What would you recommend for the discoloration?
@tally8684 how did you treat discoid eczema
Taking a Greek and Latin medical terminology course and totally understand what diseases/conditions you're talking about ☺
Thank you dear Dr Dray for this information. So helpful. Is this condition similar to Stasis Dermatitis?
Love the video!! I found it so interesting as always!! Please enjoy the rest of your day!!
Jackie Marsh Happy Friday Jackie 🤩💚💐🍃

Happy Friday!
Gina La Perugina NYC hi Gina! Thank you! I sure hope you do too!!! Wonderful to have you back....I’ve missed you! I hope you are all settled in Florida ❤️❤️❤️😘
Happy Friday Dr Dray...looking forward to seeing you tomorrow...x
Happy Friday!
Please consider a video on dark dry skin patches on knees, elbows, and ankles. I’m weary of UA-cam’s fascination with diy lemon scrubs and the like.
Huge Dr. Dray fan! Would like to see a video on Dyshidrotic eczema. Seems to be commonly misdiagnosed therefore accompanied by inadequate treatment.
So thankful for your UA-cam channel 🙏
Enjoyed:)👍🏼 Great information!! Happy Friday;)🤠🐶👋🏻
Susan Bochy HAPPY FRIDAY TO YOU AND CUTIE PIE THE PUPPY!!
Hope you three have a cozy weekend Ms Susan & Happy Friday 🍂💜🍂💜🍂
Very interesting and useful! 💕 Thank you for including Canada-friendly recommendations!
I wish I could figure out the trigger for the eczema around my eyes! It's such a pain to take care of, it hurts and isn't very aesthetically pleasing...
nail polish is a frequent unrealized offender
Jeans! I knew I wasn’t crazy! This one pair of denim that I have, any time I wore them I noticed a flair up on my back and legs, so I stopped wearing them and it helped...that’s nutz that my instincts were right.
omg thank you so much for this video 😍💗
So, so helpful for me; thank you!
This really helped me a lot thank you very much.
I have lupus discoid rash. I have had episodes of contact dermatitis too. Not funny but yes very itchy and painful. I appreciate this video so much.
Dr dray I had question, how often should we, in a day, moisturize our hands or wherever else if we have nummular eczema also how often should we put the ointment on our rough patches (in a day) also if we follow all these steps, in general, how long should it take for the eczema to go away or reduce significantly? Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much for you knowledge. I'm getting an appointment to see a dermatologist to see what I truly have. It sounds a lot like this. Hopefully this will provide some relief until I can see someone. I've woken myself up scratching my rash in my sleep and have tried everything to keep the itch at bay. Driving me insane and I've pretty much given up. Thanks for the new found hope.
Hey Doc,
I've been having flare ups the past two years. How do you feel about hydrocortisone, exercise, and sunlight. Do any of the above impact discoid eczema?
I know you already have a video about chemical peels but I’d love to know more about the different types of peels!
Love this thank you. I have discoid eczema n it’s all over my body. I’ve stopped wearing short sleeves n shorts
Love you always. I cannot believe how much your audience grew.
Thanks so much for your support :)
Dr Dray you defy every single so called dermatologist who promote high priced products without scientific information. I wish I was your patient. My every single dermatologist appointment, I proudly have shared what I learned from you. I know some of them really hate me for doing it :))) but you saved my budget, taught me the chemical components and legit scientific claims and how to discern between the scientific and non scientific.. please keep up with your good work.
This is amazing thank you. My Nummular Dermatitis started this summer. I am using a steroid cream that my Dermatogist told me to use it helps a little. I have not used soap for 4 months. Is there any type of soap or shower gel that I can use?
Thanks again Dr. Dray ! 😀😘🇨🇦
Thank you for this video. My husband suffers from a form of eczema but I'm not sure if it is called Discoid eczema. His patches look similar to the picture but he is African American so his patches are darker. He just completed a clinical trial for an IV medication. It seemed to help but the doctors said he could have another flare so I am going to show him the video so we can incorporate some of your tips to help avoid flare ups. Thank you so much for the information.
It's the same thing.
Yeiy! Hello dr dray! Hope you have a great day! Thank you for uploading so religiously!
Happy Friday 🍂💜🍂💜🍂 Thanks for watching
Great and Very helpful video. I'm wondering about the La Roche Posay Lipikar range. Any thoughts? Thanks
HAPPY FRIDAY DR DRAY!!
Jackie Marsh Happy Friday 🌼🧡💛💕☕️
Jackie Marsh Happy Friday Jackie! 💙🦋💛🌼💚🦜❤️🌹
Happy Friday 🍂💜🍂💜🍂
I find all the videos about skin conditions interesting, because you explain the conditions so well. This video was particularly interesting to me, b/c I have eczema. I am curious if all types of eczema share the barrier defect in the skin or if it is only nummular. I plan on purchasing the recommended products mentioned in this video. Thank you again, I hope you have a great weekend!! 💜
Yes, and many people with eczema have a genetic deficiency in one of the skin barrier components called filaggrin
Don't have this condition, thankfully, but watched it anyway! I went to a brilliant eye doctor to help me with my ocular rosacea and we had an interesting conversation about rosacea in general and I mentioned you and your videos.
This skin condition sounds horrible...it must really suck, I know rosacea does.
I like that your brought up lack of sleep and children. This is true when they don't get enough sleep regardless of cause. Your videos help even those without a specific condition, to have empathy for others suffering from something we haven't experienced.
Thanks :)
Happy Friday. Enjoyed your video.
Happy Friday 💜
Happy Friday and wishing you a wonderful weekend @Dr Dray and everyone!💚🌴🦜💖🌸💛🌼💙🦋
Happy Friday 🍂💜🍂💜🍂
Jamie Vogel Hi Jamie! Thanks luv! Happy Friday and have a great weekend! :-) >3 😊❤️ Hope I “see” you tomorrow as well. ;-) 😉
Jamie Vogel By the way, I’m not using Drunk Elephant’s C-Firma Vit C anymore. I’m shocked at myself! LOL!
Gina La Perugina NYC Happy weekend, Gina!
Sherry G Hi Sherry! Thanks! I was looking for you. Have you have a wonderful weekend, sweet lady! But I hope to “see” you this weekend. :-)
Omg , i always wear blue didnt know thats a trigger thank you so much
Hey Dr Dray, awesome video! I'm 17 and I got diagnosed with nummular eccema when I was 15. I've been struggling with this problem for nearly two years and it really gets me annoyed, specially when I notice an improvement and then it starts flaring again. This video has been very helpful! Thank you very much. Greetings from Guatemala!
I am glad to hear this was helpful :)
Dr Dray you're great. I do have a question: is it safe for people with numular eccema to swim in pools?
Thanks for the video. I’m not sure if I gave discoid eczema on my right arm as it’s quite raised like ringworm, it can change from white (hyperpigmentation like) to pink after a shower. Is this fungal or eczema? As it’s quite itchy after showering, I do moisturise but I’m wondering if there is a way to reduce the raised bump? Thanks
Thank you so much for sharing this video.
I currently have been struggling with nummular dermatitis on my left calf and it won't go away.
Hopefully these tips will help.
Did it help?
@@FaizanAhmed-ub8tc Actually it does help.
Along with me taking shorter, cooler showers, and having to move to a humid location with a well.
Hi Dr Dray, I know this is off topic but I would be grateful for your advice, I have a balsam of Peru allergy and rosacea, and I’ve been using a very expensive hyped up brand aimed at sensitive skin, I’m pretty sure I’ve compromised my skin barrier as my skin feels dry although doesn’t look it and stings s but when I sweat, I was wondering if you could recommend some products to try and get my skin back calm? Many thanks x
Could you please do a video regarding intertrigo and how to treat? I would really appreciate it! :)
What do you think about using raw coconut oil on this type of exema?
Thank you soooo much for this video! I’ve had discoid dermatitis for years. It’s so hard to manage this condition... it never occurred to me that the blue dye in jeans could be a trigger. Jeans are my staple, so I will try wearing other things to see if it helps.
R u still having. Do u go for any treatement or medicine. Cuz im having for years as well
@@keshvinnrao6208 It comes back once in a while, but not as frequently as before. I recently introduced Jeans and it came back, so I'm guessing that the blue dye in Jeans was one of the culprits.
Was your eczema ever discolored?
Mine is and I've been dealing with it for years
@@tally8684 I had some discolored patches on my legs but they disappeared. I don’t know what helped with the discoloration but I follow Dr. Dray’s advice - moisturize when the skin is still damp.
Hi Dr Dray. Love watching your videos. Could you speak to the use of topical roseomonas mucosa probiotic (lotions/sprays) as a method of combating eczema and its association with staphylococcus aureus in particular? I’m very interested in trying this approach and am also wondering if you know how/where to obtain the skin protecting microbes. This is a bit silly, but I’m considering buying an incubator, swabbing some friends healthy skin, and attempting to isolate the bacteria for topical application on my own skin. I suppose hugging these people might be an easier way to achieve this but that’s just gross! 🙂. Thanks!
Dr Dray does the Hypochlorous spray has any use for someone that doesn't have this condition? That's what some reviews say...
My son (3 yo) was diagnosed with discoid eczema a while ago - he's had flare ups since he was teeny tiny. I'm based in the UK, and GPs have prescribed loads of things in the past, including emollient creams and liquids for his baths, steroids, anti-fungal stuff, antihistamines...you name it, we've tried it! At the moment he's using zerobase ointment (like the thick greasy cream Dr Dray was mentioning), epimax and zerobase moisturising cream, and 1% hydrocortisone at night to keep patches under control (he had been on betnovate 2%, however this is much stronger stuff - hydrocortisone just doesn't seem to be doing the job!). We have been advised to slather him in the moisturisers at least 4 x per day - and he absolutely LOATHES it!! It's an absolute nightmare - we've been doing it for months and months now and he still tries everything to get out of it! The worst part is the constant scratching at bedtime - I've had to invest in dungaree pjs from a company called Scratchsleeves so that he can't get to the larger patches on his legs and back. I'm hoping the warmer weather will help clear things up, but also dreading the shorter, looser clothing facilitating lots more scratching! His current flare up is probably the worst we've had so far. Just wondered if anyone has any additional, practical tips for dealing with this skin condition in toddlers and kids?
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!
I'm crying just hearing the validation and options for this. My hands and wrists have been this way for over 2 years and I am a nailtech and it's kept me up at night and I just cry but I have to work, I'm also an esthetician and wish that I didnt have to do nails anymore because this is what has started it all.
Does it really have no cure?? 😭
Poor sleep is the culprit of so many health issues :( I am curious as to whether diet, in combination with prescribed treatment as applicable plays any role in keeping eczema flares at bay. I happen to have a mini humidifier at my desk. So helpful :) Thanksmasmalways for the helpful information.
is an allergen to Latex common for contact dermatitis? especially with perspiration? do you want to avoid cortizone cream?
Hey.. can i use tretinoin as it helps in strengthening the skin barrier. I have eczema but it doesn't itch, it's mild i guess. Will tretinoin help me getting rid of it??
It's great!!
Thank you SO much! I’ve had this for two years now. Been to a dermatologist and an allergist (they tell me it’s contact dermatitis) but after watching this video I now know this is what I have! (Yes, I read the disclaimer, you aren’t diagnosing or treating...) but it feels good to finally have a name for this condition! The sleepless nights, quality of life, the staph infection...etc. I can totally relate! Thanks for all the tips! Also, interesting regarding the patch test, kind of like the chicken and the egg right? I’m allergic to Methylchloroisothiazolinone. Also, I’m a dental hygienist so I’m constantly washing my hands and gloving up. I feel like these tips will help! Also, what laundry detergent do you recommend? Thanks so much Dr. Drey! You truly are my UA-cam Doctor! This video was perfect for me! 🤗
MCI allergy is a beast to cope with ...it is in a lot of products
Thank you! Sounds like there’s hope!
e1yzita thank you
Thanks for this video it is good info even though I dot have any problems wit eczema but it will be helpful one day
:)
Vartouhi Asadourian Happy Friday!! I hope you had a Great Day!!
Would love to see a video with recommendations for fragrance free body washes suitable for dry and sensitive skin please.
really the recommendation for dry sensitive skin is to avoid soap and body wash
@@DrDrayzday Thank you for your reply. What would be the alternative to soap or body wash to stay clean and smell fresh or at least not to smell of body odour - especially under arms.
I have been seeing the same derm for a little over a year now.. I recently had what I believe is a flare up because my kitten had ringworm... My derm scraped my spot and said it was ringworm. However the cream they gave me caused the surrounding skin of the actual ringworm spot to become super itchy and inflamed (red, bumpy, almost raw)... They simply had me switch back to my steroid ointment and I feel as thought they handled it very poorly. Would you recommend finding a new derm and starting over with a new dr? I was never offered the patch testing and I feel as though they just deal with surface issues rather than diving more into the actual issues.. Thank you so much Dr.Drazy 💜💜
Awesome!
Do you have any thoughts on carrying pocket humidifiers?
I was given Locoid, hydrocortisone, about 15 years ago for patches of eczema on my legs, I read it can't be used for long periods of time but I always get a refill from doctor? Thank you for the great video, greetings from UK 🇬🇧
see my steroid cream Q&A, i discuss more there
Hi Dr. Dray. Love watching your videos. Hope you don’t mind me asking an unrelated question. I work work out in the morning in a gym with lots of windows, so I always load up on sunscreen. Should I wash my face and apply sunscreen all over again? It would be easier if I could just work out at night, but I really prefer not to. Would love your sage advice. 🙏🏼
no, dont wash your excessively and wash sunscreen off
@@DrDrayzday thank you so much for taking the time to reply! Relieved that I don't have to wash my face 3 times a day! :)
@@scentedlove2537 Hi Lauren. I also often work out in the morning and it has been a dilemma for ne too. Now I don't wash my face before the gym (it will get dirty thete anyway). I just put sunscreen on. Then after the gym when I take a shower I wash my face to take the sweat and sunscreen and all the dirt from the gym. I do with a real gentle cleanser however. Hope you find your routine!
@@ekaterinakozlovskaia8082 thank you! That sounds like a good approach, too. It does feel a little psychologically weird not to shower after the gym, but I'm not much of a sweater, so maybe it's okay? I've waited until nighttime to shower after a morning/afternoon gym session, and my skin stays the same, so perhaps I should just stop worrying about it. LOL.
Hi dr Dray. I don't have this condition however watched as there's always something useful to puck up in your videos. Thank you for mentioning the effect of sleep on the skin barrier healing process and bringing attention to sleep in general. People very often brush off the importance of sleep. As a long term sufferer of poor sleep I can attest that sleep quality affects enormously one's health and the quality of life in general. Thank you for another very helpful video! Have a great weekend!
Happy Friday!
I too have suffered from chronic sleep deprivation. :-( I just wanted to pass this on . . . If you haven't already, try 4-7-8 breathing technique before bedtime or to help you get back to sleep if you awaken in the middle of the night. It might help/can't hurt! google Dr. Andrew Weil 4-7-8. Good luck to you. Another tip: don't look at the clock when you wake up in the middle of the night!
Simply Keri Uh Oh. The first thing I do is look at the Clock!
@@Kerifiable Thanks! Will try the breathing technique. Not looking at the clock helped tremendously!
Happy Friday Dr Dray.You have a good working day .🍁🧡🍂🍎☕️

@Jackie Marsh Have an amazing Friday and weekend! Sending you much love!💜🦄
I have recently been diagnosed with Granuloma Annulare do you have any videos or any suggestions on where to find good information? Everything my dermatologist has tried helps for a day or two and then it comes back 10 times worse! He did cortisone injections at my last visit and now it’s really angry!
I haven’t heard of this type of eczema. Thanks for sharing with us. I hope you have a nice weekend!
Happy Friday!
Can you do a video on cold sore prevention and treatment? Thank you.
angelina pirkle Hi Angelina! I’m not a doctor, but I was getting constant cold sores, especially in the hot summers. My GP said that it’s not unusual and the sun can trigger them. He put me on a medication called Valtrex for 6 months and now I rarely ever get a cold sore! I always have generic Valtrex on hand in case I feel one starting. It’s a strong medication, but it really dries it up quickly! I’m not a Doctor. This is just my personal experience. Good luck!

Erin R, thank you. Looking into it.
Hey Dr! Can you please do a review on Image Skincare? They’re pricey and ‘medical grade’, however would like to know your opinion :)
Dr dray can u review pacifica blue tansy oil? And other facial oils from drugstore like physician formula beauty elixir and milani rose oil?
Hi Dr!! I’m on retin a cream 0.01 my skin was ok no irritation but as soon as we got a cold front here in Houston my skin is just irritated dry flaky my question is should I use retin fewer times a week or should I go back to 0.05 % during the winter time ?My dermatologists can’t see me till after Thanksgiving 😞, Hope you have a great Friday!!!
I can't answer that type of question, as my content is not intended to provide treatment advice

Hello Dr. so I've been taking accutane and after two months I started displaying Sx. of nummular eczema on my hands. What do you recommend? Would I need to stop accutane? Will this go away after I've finished my accutane tx. Currently I've been hydrating and moisturizing my skin. Please advise
I started to get the disk shaped red patches on my legs during pregnancy when wearing tight jeans (not itchy and disappeared after a few days). My baby is now appearing with a few of the same patches. Again not itchy or inflamed looking. I've been applying aveno and cerave moisturizer and the patches seem to fade the next day, have you any other tips?
I use a translation tool.
Your videos have improved my psoriasis.
But my son developed Nummular Eczema after covid-19 infection.
The nutritional doctor says that vitamin C is no good for eczema.
What do you think?
Please do a milia safe day and night skin care routine please please!
milia dont require a special skin care routine...see my milia Q&A, but skin care products do not cause milia
Can you please make a video reviewing IT Cosmetics' makeup line?
IT Cosmetics claims their makeup contains anti-aging skincare and SPF 50 broad-spectrum. Supposably their makeup was developed with the help of dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Also, their makeup products have been Infused with hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and vitamins. Could you tell me if their claims are true? Is it worth it to spend the extra money on IT Cosmetics' makeup?
@Dr Dray wool can also be allergen?

I have had my first ever flare up this Spring and it came as such a terrible surprise! It's been warm suddenly as well as so much pollen in the air 😭 I have a couple spots on my chin so that's been the worst part. Hoping the advice here really helps me get it under some sort of control
I think i get this every winter.
Ive been getting it since 23.
Last winter hitting my chin on a ladder kickstarted it.
it is pesky
i have nummular eczema and I've really hated my body because of it. i have lots of scars all over my arms and legs and i cant help but feel ashamed and insecure because of it. I've also tried a lot of ointments and creams and whatsover. idk it may sound like im overacting but im tired. having this type of disease really mess up with my mental health. another thing is most people are not aware of what eczema is. they always look disgusted when they look at me. or at least that's only what i think they feel.
Yeah, there's no way you can wear shorts or wear long sleeves. Otherwise people will think you have leprosy. I wonder if any of the vaccines you took as a child produced this kind of skin disease.
Is your nummular eczema intensely itchy? Or mild itching
Detoxify ur liver ...all will remove
same! literally my entire life its really messed with me mentally dealing with it and how people react to it they literally dont know what it is and act like it the plague even after you explain. so i have just lived my life in long sleeves and pants cause i hate how it looks. that always makes it flare worse though and it sucks when i just wanna feel pretty but i cant get it to clear up.
