When she said know that eczema is a chronic skin condition that can’t be cured I seriously started to cry. I’m exhausted from taking care of my skin when it just never goes away no matter how diligent I am at taking care of it.
I know the topic is exema not acne but a pharmacist said my acne was uncurable. My doctor and a dermatologist were no help. One day I picked up a tube of Neutrogena and it worked. For many years I thought there was no help for me but there was. I hope you find that help.
I think more by uncurable means it is genetically with you but proper treatment will help lessen the severity. If your eczema is bad it probably will take time w the right products for your skin to see improvements
I felt legit grief when I started to realize I'd be dealing with this indefinitely...but it doesn't mean you have to suffer your whole life. Over time you will learn more about what triggers it and what works for you to treat it. 💪
It can't be cured but it can be treated. You just have to find what works for you. They are coming out with more and more treatments for eczema everyday. People used to point out my eczema every day and ask what it was. I know that as I grew older it actually got better. Now people don't even know I have it
@@tinkymorris9651 Try Equate Triple Antibiotic Ointment, it literally helped my skin heal itself in only 2 days. In 2 days the insanely bad itch was gone and so was the flakiness. I just keep using it cuz plain soap makes it flare up a little again. I will have to try the African Black Soap For Eczema and Psoriasis, I hear it works wonders. I also saw on utube that Castor Oil rubbed on eczema cured it.

@@sierrasiennasavahnadesertn6605 thank you. I've tried the African Black Soap, love it. I've been using the triple antibiotic ointment, yes, I agree, it works wonders!😊
I recently learned how eczema is related to the gut. Many things can trigger eczema but changing our diets can help to make things better. Wheat really seems to cause problems for me. The same goes for sugar.

SierraSiennaSavahnaDesertNightSky 1985 I can’t use natural treatments other than aloe Vera . I once used castor oil on my scalp and it made my skin break out. I tried black soap didn’t work. I just use aveno non scented oatmeal soap and my steroid cream prescribed by my dermatologist when I have a flare up.
I literally wake up with new scars and scabs nearly daily due to random flares and I'm still trying to figure out what's triggering it. My nights consist of insane scratching, it can be insanely annoying. Thank you for this video!
Yes, remove dyes and perfumes from your life. I bathe with cetaphil or dove, then no towel, a little bit of hydrocortisone, lotion(curel,cerava,lubriderm) then a bit of coconut oil. That's my system. It's worked wonders.
Exactly! But you can see examples of people who cured themselves and from severe eczema got to beautiful healthy skin without flare ups! So, it is possible and it happened! I would love to hear her comment on that bc there is a quite large number of people who cured almost 100% of their eczema
Has your eczema gotten better now? we at relieffromeczema have provided you with the best inexpensive oils that you can use for your eczema treatment on our channel!.
I'd just like to share with all you eczema sufferers: I had such extreme eczema that I was in and out of hospital for most of my life, then had to take methotrexate then azathioprine (harsh immunosuppressants) for many years. Long story short......I went vegan and my eczema DISAPPEARED after just 4 weeks. No milk allergy ever recorded in the past. So.....I would say elimination diets are absolutely worth a try!
Hannah Tariq haha I actually convinced my parents to let me recently! It’s been a month now, and my skin hasn’t improved at all, unfortunately. I’m still hoping though :)
@@nelltalbot3045 That's so great, keep going with it ! Another thing for me when i went vegan was I found I was able to pinpoint certain foods that triggered flare ups more easily, so stay alert and try to see if you can eliminate some problem foods.
I recommend aloe vera gel!! Ive tried a lot of creams before, including the Eucerin ezcema relief cream recommended by Dr Dray. However, it doesnt rly do anything. Recently I just smeared aloe vera gel on my ezcema prone skin after a flare up. It instantly soothes my skin!!! And whats even more amazing is that it rly kept my moisturised for as long as 24 hours. Its truly amazing, idk why its not a highly recommended ingredient for ezcema prone skin though.
Another good idea when washing hands or showering is to apply the thick greasy moisturizer to the effected area before washing. That helps 'shield' it from the drying effects water and helps trap the moisture you would normally lose. Then reapply another layer after washing.
Take a dip in the sea always helps to calm down the itchiness and the flares greatly, however the effect only last a day or two, and it can stings really bad depends on the severity of the scratches.
I've recently found out about my eczema, and my dermatologist recommended a gentle soap and body wash that helps a lot! I've been using Avéne XeraCalm lotion and body wash daily and good grief, it has helped so much.
You have a great delivery with topics and are so sweet. Thanks for taking the time to make these and help us learn how to deal with different issues. Take care Vicki
hi just saw this comment, for me it helps to cook some natural camomile and let it get cold and after wash my eyelids and face with it, I would do it a few times a day when I have a flare and in 2 days it goes away, hope this helps...oh but i don't put any cream or makeup at that time
I've had some of the most stressful months of my life, and I've developed eczema on my hands and face. I feel so embarrassed about it. This video is helpful, thanks
i use cocoa butter (body butter) from the body shop its soothes and calms exzema so im able to sleep without itching all night. thanks i like listening to all you know. have a great day!
I was so frustrated with not being able to find a soap that works for my skin. I have been so itchy lately and have been getting eczema flare ups. I decided to try dove baby wash and aveeno baby wash and those are really working for me. I also bought Eucerin Eczema Relief Creme. ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Try a salt bath twice a week......use either Epsom salts or Dead Sea salt/about 350 grams per bath. 20 minute soak. Use soap for delicate skin.....see how you go.
You might be sensitive to something in your water. We use a water filter for the water coming into the house because we have a well. My water is full of minerals and metals. I’m very allergic to nickel.
Dermatologist must be held accountable for prescribing high dose of Topical Steroids. Long use makes the condition worse (Red Skin Syndrome) Topical Steroid Withdraw look it up!!
Yes I bout to go cus my doc out on my next appt wish I never ever took that cream or pills has made it worst now he want me to try this shot an idk if I should
Every 2 weeks man this sucks also have u guys ever heard of my situation never had eczema an now at 35 just got it bad out of no where doc dont help or give answers
You guys should look up rob stuarts channel. He's a pro. Everything he talks about helps deal with TSW a LOT. And yes. The lack of accountability from these doctors is an absolute joke! My doctor recommended topical steroid creams to me for 2 years and prednisone when the cream stopped working...
Nutrition and foods are very important to eczema. For example Gluten and Dairy are the worst triggers for eczema even other problems like acne and psoriasis
@@zaineridling Yes, yes, yes. Petroleum jelly is the first line treatment. Source: UpToDate. www.uptodate.com/contents/treatment-of-atopic-dermatitis-eczema?source=history_widget#H4
I have this lotion called "glove in a bottle" and it's amazing for my eczema. You can find it on Amazon and it soaks in immediately. That's my recommendation for eczema
My kids had REALLY bad eczema when they were toddlers and this is what helped us: Switching up their lotions and creams. For whatever reason, a product would work, then stop after a while. So we had around 6 or so products that we would cycle with. Prescription creams worked, but bleach their skin, so we used those only when needed. Colloidal oatmeal is the holy grail!!! We always have a lotion with colloidal oil in the house now. Much cheaper and lasts longer then Aveeno's oatmeal bath packets. And for us, grinding our own oats isn't the same as store bought. Don't ask why.. this is just a personal observation. Ointments for bad flare ups, creams for minor flare ups. Creams can burn! However, you can make your own compound by mixing ointments with creams. There were times where we simply mixed vaseline with hydrocortisone for a quick fix. Don't give up!! We tried I don't even know how many lotions on one of my kids until we saw a product called Skinfix. It was expensive, but nothing else was working. It cleared her eczema in a week! And it was bad!!!!! Her feet, ankles, back of her knees, inner thighs, lower back, armpits, inner elbows, wrists, and even here eyelids were red and inflamed! She'd gotten a staph infection once from itching. However, Skinfix didn't help my son too much. So don't give up! This last one was a random discovery as I was attempting to solve a completely different problem- my son has tics so we made him magnesium oil which is just distilled water and epsom salt. Magnesium is good for cognitive health and best absorbed transdermal (aka through your skin). So we were spraying his arms, belly, and back. His arms had some eczema patches and cleared after a couple days. Turns out, magnesium oil is great for eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
I used to drown myself in vaseline and it helped alot, but vaseline was wayy to thick and uncomfortable to be applying 24/7 so I tried cerave and O MA GAWD CERAVE SAVED ME it helped me sm. It's not too thick, its cooling and soothing, and it hydrates eczema for a long time without reapplying
Thank you so much. I’ve been so embarrassed by mine. It’s on my foot, and I always been extremely embarrassed thinking people would think it’s a contagious fungus. Mine didn’t even start until I got in my 20s and it’s always in the same spot. On the side of my foot and sometimes on my hands but on my foot it gets bad. And I always blamed myself wondering what I did. I thought it was herpes for a long time. But stress always flares mine up. Thank you so much because for so long I didn’t know it was eczema. And then my friend told me about it. And listening to your advice has helped so much. Thank you. I subscribed. Thank you. I appreciate it so much I feel like crying because I never had enough money to go to a dermatologist, and listening to your advice has helped it disappear, I use to scratch it so badly it would bleed and I would pop the blisters and that was a bad thing to do. And thank you so much for making these videos. I feel like crying because I had no idea what to do. All I can say is thank you and I wish I could do something for you in return.
This was so helpful for me ❤️ I’ve dealt with eczema on my legs for most of my life but only in the last year or so have had major issues with my hands and this was so helpful ❤️❤️ thank you!!
Thank you so much for this content. I have been looking for something to share with my mommy-in-love that would help her understand her eczema flares better and how to treat them. I have watch a few of your other videos on skin care and I am making her a eczema skin care package now. Hopefully these tips will help give her some relief!
Ever since I was a teenager, I currently have this particular eczema. My final option was to attempt this eczema guidebook. Within a 30 days of making use of the guide, my illness had improved and never ever got this rashes once again for several years presently. View reply below to see the guide name
ALOE VERA gel is an amazing ingredient for ezcema prone skin!! Trust me. Ive tried a lot of creams & natural ingredients before such as honey.. but nothing was as amazing as ALOE VERA!!!
Thank you for your informative video! My daughter suffers from eczema since she was a baby. I've shared this video with her & she uses most of the recommended items you've listed below from her doctor. Thank you also for the reminder of how stress & lack of sleep can be a trigger.
I’ve been binge watching your videos. You’ve change the way I take care of and view my skin health. Thank you! I’m curious to hear your knowledge on baby products. You say fragrance can be a an irritant. I looked at my daughters products and they pretty much all are crap (I think based off what I’ve heard from you). This is scary in itself. Why the hell would they promote products that aren’t even good for our kids? I would assume their skin is even more sensitive. 🤷🏼♀️ I’d love to hear your knowledge on the subject. Thank you again for everything!
My fellow eczema family , try bleach baths or using diluted bleach water to treat your impacted areas and follow up with some cortisone cream. My eczema on my face went away dram in 2 days!! Look it up on the internet, it worked better than anything I had ever done in the past. I couldn’t believe how well it worked. I cancelled my dermatologist appointment and will be doing this moving forward it I get anymore flare ups! Hope this helps someone.
Thank you so much for this video, i’ve been having a very bad flare up recently and have been trying to figure out what to use and how to go about getting it back under control! The list included in the description was so helpful!
Good.Please in future try to explain the disease with pictures as there are different types of skin diseases and we can't differentiate between exema and psoriasis etc. Thanks.
Yes to stress causing flare-ups! Saw an older dermatologist years back who was very sarcastic and said "so you experience more stress than others in the world?' When I said I believe it is a trigger for me. Wish I could have shut him down, so rude!
I hope you see this question. So, I have eczema. And when I wet wrap or use my creams and lotions (Eucerin And EpiCeram), it helps. But it also causes extremely bad dyshydrotic eczema. I get massive clear fluid filled blisters along with flat “blisters”. These little “holes” on my skin that when squeezed, clear liquid comes on. I hate them, they themselves can get super painful. So it seems like no matter what, if I heal the eczema, I get the dyshydrotic eczema.
I once asked my mom and dad if I could buy some casual gloves when going out but then they just yelled at me! They say that I'm so stupid since the weather is so hot but I feel so insecure whenever I show my eczema,I get glances from strangers which always lowers my self esteem.And when I'm going or with friends they always ask: Omg ur skin is still like that?/ What's that in ur skin and is it contagious? I honestly get so embarrassed I almost burst into tears. And when ur forced to wear short sleeves is legit the worse, People stare and it honestly makes me want to stay at home and lock all the doors.
I understand you. There were days when i cry while putting on creams. I've had it for 24 years now and the effect on self confidence is just too much. I always wear jeans since i have it in my legs. When it started spreading on my arms i had to wear long sleeves. I'm using dermovate for about 3 yrs now, you can buy it without prescription and it helps heal my flare up, but they come back. I'm just tired of going to dermatologists now (been going almost every year since 4 yrs old) they just say the same thing to me and not even as informative as dr dray.
You can take carrot juice with cucumber n honey daily. N on ur skin use Alovera , vitamin E n rose water n glycerin. Avoid glycerin on face. It helped me a lot n milk cream. Never use lemon or something containing citric acid,mustard oil is also good.
Well I have had eczema for 9yrs nw and I manage it by visiting the dermatologist regularly.I use fragrance free products :soap (pure soap) you can easily find it at dischem shops, for the face I apply( E-45 cream) & for the body I apply (epimax plus) wch leaves the skin hydrated thruout the whole day.For my hair and scalp I use coconut oil which is also adourless. Since the type of eczema that I have requires no use of fragrances I make sure that I bath thoroughly lol lyk twice a day mrng and night.And I make sure to avoid toomch direct sunlight at all costs
Thanks for this video. I've ordered a couple of your recommended lotion products. Fragrances seem to be skin triggers for me and I also have cutaneous mastocytosis. I've been told to try and stay away from steroids by my derm doc. Eczema is frustrating to treat for both patient and doc. I appreciate the food trigger info you provide. My mouth mucosa is sensitive to "mint" in oral health care products. Mint candy? No problem. Go figure.
Hello ma'am as soon as I saw your comment I wanted to help you and I googled your question so here are a few things you could do: skip hot baths cause heat can irritate skin, use a gentle soap, try a thick moisturizer, try a humidifier, drink plenty of water and take vitamin D supplements hop this is helpful ma'am
I've found that Carbamide(also known as Urea) shampoo in combination with a tea tree oil face scrub does wonders for my eczema. Most other shampoos, creams and moisturizers make my skin flake and burn, but products with these ingredients (Carbamide and tea tree oil) don't and help clear up the dry patches of skin.
I only have eczema on my face. Such a bad spot for it because I feel that’s what everyone stares at when they talk to me. I have it right below my nose and it spreads to my lip, I have had this issues for 10+ plus years just a few months ago I finally found the right thick cream for my skin and it’s doing so much better. The only issues I have now is my lips. They hurt so bad and a dry and flaking skin, they are also cracked and bleed, no matter summer or winter it’s a constant issue. Any advice on how to help my lips?
Thank you Dr.Dray for your information about eczema. My son and I suffer from eczema and it is very frustrating, becuase I know how he feels and also that it is painful for him. I'm thankful for you to spend your time making these videos. I share them with my family and friends, Thank you Dr. Dray
Thank you so much! I really hope this helps you and your family. Eczema is no fun and is frustrating. Glad you enjoyed and I hope you are having a restful night. :)
Thanks for the advice! My worst enemies are stress, temperature and water (I have developed eczema on my hands just a couple of years ago). The cream my dermatologist has prescribed is corticosteroid to fix my hands issues (including other things) in a few days, if applied twice per day or something, and I also should be hydrating my hands with a proper moisturizer which sometimes I forget (I blame myself at a point, plus I wash my hands too much...). I will try to see if I can get from the pharmacy or something that kind of anti-itch cream at 01:39 some time, I tend to scratch my hands skin and it makes it worse at times.
Thank you for posting such informative and helpful videos. My 4 year old daughter is currently suffering from eczema and i have been so stressed for her. I'm so so so thankful for some answers!!!! 🙏👍❤️
Omg I commented on one of your videos stating that I have atopic dermatitis, and decided to look up if you had any videos about this topic, and man oh man you are just what I needed. My face has been killing me right now, I can't even wear foundation and feel so insecure about my red patches and dryness on my cheeks. Thank you Dr Dre for sharing your knowledge with us for FREE! you may not know it, but you are changing lives, trust me.
Dear Dr Dray, Still watching your older videos and found this one and sent it to my oldest son who suffers from ECZEMA. Thank you for the great information and tips. ~ Joanna ♡
I developed eczema after a traumatic medical crisis exacerbated by the pandemic. Also had radiation treatments. I found the information on this video helpful and plan to try some of the suggestions. I developed eczema on my upper lip with scaling and cold-sore like crud on one side. Since I couldn't use the topical prescription stuff on it, I started using Carmex for chapped lips. It took awhile, but it worked. No more scaly lip.
Hello I am 66 years old. Never had eczema till a year ago. I try to wear gloves when I work . But my hands sweat so I cut off fingers of the gloves. It kind of works I work with cardboard boxes they are drying to skin , but when I come home I use coconut oil on them . It works until I go back to work.
During the past Two winters, I acquired this rashes in the hand and wrists due to outbreak. As a result of that I managed to uncover regarding this eczema manual . Dryness, itchiness and redness were experienced around my very own hands. This is certainly an effective guide. I was not out of the trouble of covering my very own hands and fingers, thanks a lot for this manual. I endorse it.. the guide name in the reply below
Hi I think u just saved my life and skin bc every summer I deal with the same flare up probably from hay fever and this is the most helpful advice I’ve ever gotten. EVER.
I was just diagnosed yesterday with eczema. I have had itching for 3 weeks. I haven’t been able to sleep at night. Ppl have been giving me advise like telling me to take Benadryl I had been taking Benadryl and using cortisone cream and gold bond powder. Nothing helped. It was becoming unbearable to live with. I think a lot of ppl have no idea just how horrible eczema is. They think it’s just a rash. No big deal The dermatologist gave me a Kenalog injection in the office and a medrol dose pack to take at home. I still get itchy though and I really hope this treatment will stop the itching bc I can’t live like this. It’s miserable
Hey ma'am I don't have eczema but I googled remedies for severe eczema symptoms here are a few things ma'am I'm very well trying to be kind and helpful to you you can try coconut oil, calamine lotion, or aloe vera gel, take a bleach bath, apply cool wet compresses, and avoid itching please let me know if any of these work for you ma'am ❤
Healing gut is important it helps reduce flare ups(probiotics and lglutamine is helpful for quicker healing,clean liver from metals can help as well)also many tips you said is very good.For me moving to all time warm dry climate helped almost never have a flare up only when I travel back to cold countries where temperatures below 13 degrees. Make sure you are not intolerant to parafinum based ointments some people only breakout after few days of using them , initially it soothes skin but in long run it might be a trigger too
Ive gotten told by my doc ive got eczema but yhen got a biopsy n saw a dermotologist n dhe told me its plaque psoriasis, im 35 now and was born with it. I reaaally appreciate your videos theyve helped me sooo much!! Ty for your reccomendations and advice! 🙌🙏
I use Dexeryl shower cream. It's the only thing I can wash my body with. If you prefer oils for washing your body (not me, it triggers my eczema!!) They do special oil that changes to some kind of foam when you wash yourself with it, and it doesn't leave oily effect on your skin. Even though the oil isn't perfect for me, my brother is completely fine after washing with it, so it really depends on your skin!
Ya, I have found that my eczema is triggered by eating pork (my body cannot process the histamines in pork interestingly enough!) What have you found that has helped you?
Dear Dr Andrea, I am loving your videos, I'm so glad to have found you, after all these years, of this tormenting dyshidrotic eczema, mainly on my palms. It gives me hope, now that I can follow your tips, which are so systematic, yet easy to follow. Doc, please tell me, what soaps to avoid, or how to cleanse hands, cause I am bit of a germophobe. And with this pandemic, I'm forced to use sanitisers a lot, any guidance with regards to that, my dear? Deeply deeply grateful, already
Hi Dr Dray- thank you for this video! There are some companies promoting honey creams to help treat eczema - some ingredients are pure organic honey, organic beeswax and sunflower oil- I am so tempted to buy this because of the impressive pictures they share of the people who have used the creams and have had success in calming down there skin- what do you think of this type of cream/ingredients in treating eczema? I enjoy your videos and your skin is amazing!!
I notice my skin becomes itchy after I apply white lotion such as aveeno or white cream such as cortisone. My skin does so much better with oil. Such as ointments.
Use oils and organic creams, unfortunately a lot of "brand" names are not good for skin :/ I just put out a video if you want to check it out; my mom uses it for her psoriasis 😊
Hello, Dr.Dray! thank you so much for this tip video!!! I recently got frustrating outbreak of eczema and psoriasis on my fingers and face. I am not even sure what i have on my face (whether it's eczema or psoriasis or both). I will definitely change all the products to your recommended products. Please keep up the wonderful work! Thank you again!!
Quick question: I just bought Vanicream moisturizer for my face and fingers. Should i just only put that as a daily skin care or do you recommend any other products with it for eczema/psoriasis outbreak?
I was recently diagnosed with eczema at the age of 41. Never have had eczema in my life before. Trying to learn all I can about it. I have seen my dermatologist and she recommended many of the same things you did. I am currently using most of it. She also recommended me take Zyrtec for the rest of my life. I took it for two weeks and it cleared up everything. I just don’t get why I should take it forever?
The only time I really struggle with flare up is when I use any kind of sunscreen and I have no idea what to use because everything I’ve tried has made it terrible on my face
I use creams with 7% ectoin on my flared up skin and it's the only thing that is able to help my skin calm down immediately. A couple of Bioderma sunscreens contain ectoin too, for example Bioderma Photoderm Max - have you tried it? Bioderma doesn't say how much ectoin is in their products, I bet it's not even close enough to 7% - but I can feel it works in a similar way as ectoin creams but just a little bit weaker.
That used to happen with me as well but I found it was the sunscreens were really thick and they made me feel soooo uncomfortable so I started using gel sunscreen after I moisturize and it really helped
Same. Amazing how much holistic methods/or just plain information dermatologists DON'T tell patients. I'm on my second Derm. and when I do something holistic - she's like Oh yeah, that's helpful or eczema doesn't like this or that. Waste-o-time and money. I've learned so much on You Tube. Thank you Doctor and Thanks, especially for all the comments!
me, lighting my eczema on fire with hot water daily because it feels good on the itch: why isn’t this getting better Lmao but Jokes aside, thank you for this video. I’m 21 and finally so fed up with being a giant walking scab so I appreciated all the advice!!
Hi Dr.Dray.I am a fan of yours and you have helped me a lot.I have been on tretinoin for approximately 2 years.I have lately developed eczema . Do you think the tretinoin could have caused the eczema.If yes,what could I substitute in its place. Thanking you in advance.
Wearing fake nails has helped me so much. They keep my nails from breaking my skin and can help keep me from scratching because there isnt the satisfaction
My triggers are pollen,dust,etc So yeah. I live in a state that tends to get a crazy amout of pollen in spring. So summer and spring I can rarely wear flip flops because of a large patch on my ankle
wish my eczema would be gone & not come back at all, I've had it since I was probably 9, 10 years & now I am 29 yrs old still dealing with it... wish there was a way it be disappear, but can't it runs on my mom's side of the family I'm allergic to the sun , so can't go out in the sun at Can't use any other kind of Hand soap , or lotion , I've been stuck with baby lotion since I was born so all together for 29 years if I use any other kind of lotion it will act up twice more sometimes I hate my life , but it's the truth but what can I use to get rid of my dry lips and my dry skin on my face at this right moment , been itchy nonstop so therefore any tips please and thank you
Marabelle Mndwgn I’m not a dermatologist but using baby lotion still has fragrance in it. So I would go with any non fragrance moisturizer like Shea butter.
Oatmeal facemasks (pure oats mixed with boiling water and then cooled down to form a facemask paste) and oatmeal baths has helped my eczema more than any cream, ointment, steroid, remedy and I've tried literally everything.
Omg I'm so glad I found you! My eczema is pretty bad right now! I've been eating a lot of tomatoes and cherry tomatoes lately. Are tomatoes a trigger? Thanks Dr.! Oh I subbed too :)
Yall ever get eczema gasms when u scratch it? It feels amazing but its so bad for me lmao
Uglygodbitxh YEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Eczema gasms 😂😂😂 same though
me
Yesssss😂😂😂
Omg yesss

Try intermittent fasting and stop sugar, it sure helps me a lot.. eczema is actually an Auto immune decease that comes from the gut
I felt legit grief when I started to realize I'd be dealing with this indefinitely...but it doesn't mean you have to suffer your whole life. Over time you will learn more about what triggers it and what works for you to treat it. 💪
It can't be cured but it can be treated. You just have to find what works for you. They are coming out with more and more treatments for eczema everyday. People used to point out my eczema every day and ask what it was. I know that as I grew older it actually got better. Now people don't even know I have it
Bro when she said stress I felt sooo relatable to that, Bc when I stress is when it flares the most.
Same here
Yep, stress but also sleep deprivation, dehydration/alcohol/drug use, sugar, chemicals. Basically i’m fucked lol
@@tinkymorris9651 Try Equate Triple Antibiotic Ointment, it literally helped my skin heal itself in only 2 days. In 2 days the insanely bad itch was gone and so was the flakiness.

SierraSiennaSavahnaDesertNightSky 1985 I can’t use natural treatments other than aloe Vera . I once used castor oil on my scalp and it made my skin break out. I tried black soap didn’t work. I just use aveno non scented oatmeal soap and my steroid cream prescribed by my dermatologist when I have a flare up.
Yea eggs for me and that’s hard cuz I love eggs😂🤦🏾♀️
I literally wake up with new scars and scabs nearly daily due to random flares and I'm still trying to figure out what's triggering it. My nights consist of insane scratching, it can be insanely annoying. Thank you for this video!
so sorry to hear that
Cheezaboo is your eczema still bad?
Dr Dray maybe your laundry detergent? A new soap, makeup?
Yes, remove dyes and perfumes from your life. I bathe with cetaphil or dove, then no towel, a little bit of hydrocortisone, lotion(curel,cerava,lubriderm) then a bit of coconut oil. That's my system. It's worked wonders.
Avaodin You should wear Cotten gloves

Your comment doesn’t make sense
Yea I was literally like reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Saratoga your right that what they told me also, when I got check ups for 3 times.
Exactly! But you can see examples of people who cured themselves and from severe eczema got to beautiful healthy skin without flare ups! So, it is possible and it happened! I would love to hear her comment on that bc there is a quite large number of people who cured almost 100% of their eczema
Omg, I'm so glad I found you. My eczema is out of control. New sub.

Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream worked wonders for my daughter's eczema when she was little. Super greasy ointment.

I'd just like to share with all you eczema sufferers: I had such extreme eczema that I was in and out of hospital for most of my life, then had to take methotrexate then azathioprine (harsh immunosuppressants) for many years. Long story short......I went vegan and my eczema DISAPPEARED after just 4 weeks. No milk allergy ever recorded in the past. So.....I would say elimination diets are absolutely worth a try!
Hannah Tariq i want to try this but i’m not allowed to go vegan! :(
Do you have any tips about becoming vegan with eczema?
@@nelltalbot3045
Sorry to hear that 😞. That's such a shame because not only my skin improved but my overall health. I'm raising my kids vegan !
Hannah Tariq haha I actually convinced my parents to let me recently! It’s been a month now, and my skin hasn’t improved at all, unfortunately. I’m still hoping though :)
@@nelltalbot3045
That's so great, keep going with it !
Another thing for me when i went vegan was I found I was able to pinpoint certain foods that triggered flare ups more easily, so stay alert and try to see if you can eliminate some problem foods.
hot water feels so good though when my eczema flares up
Wuffle Tuffle are u trying to get hella dry skin?
same, it takes all my self control not to shower in burning water when I’m having flare ups
Girl i know right
Ikr!! But it damages the skin terribly 😭😭
I recommend aloe vera gel!! Ive tried a lot of creams before, including the Eucerin ezcema relief cream recommended by Dr Dray. However, it doesnt rly do anything. Recently I just smeared aloe vera gel on my ezcema prone skin after a flare up. It instantly soothes my skin!!! And whats even more amazing is that it rly kept my moisturised for as long as 24 hours. Its truly amazing, idk why its not a highly recommended ingredient for ezcema prone skin though.
Another good idea when washing hands or showering is to apply the thick greasy moisturizer to the effected area before washing. That helps 'shield' it from the drying effects water and helps trap the moisture you would normally lose. Then reapply another layer after washing.
Take a dip in the sea always helps to calm down the itchiness and the flares greatly, however the effect only last a day or two, and it can stings really bad depends on the severity of the scratches.
I've recently found out about my eczema, and my dermatologist recommended a gentle soap and body wash that helps a lot! I've been using Avéne XeraCalm lotion and body wash daily and good grief, it has helped so much.

Thank you so much!!
hi just saw this comment, for me it helps to cook some natural camomile and let it get cold and after wash my eyelids and face with it, I would do it a few times a day when I have a flare and in 2 days it goes away, hope this helps...oh but i don't put any cream or makeup at that time

I’m not a dermatologist, but I recommend Cocoa Butter if you have it on your eyelids. I used it from my mom and it worked!
I seriously die inside when it says "genetic"
Ate Engr, Well, it is. My mother has eczema when she was younger.
I got it from my dads side apparently but I’m lucky that mine is pretty mild and controlled
I've had some of the most stressful months of my life, and I've developed eczema on my hands and face. I feel so embarrassed about it. This video is helpful, thanks
i use cocoa butter (body butter) from the body shop its soothes and calms exzema so im able to sleep without itching all night. thanks i like listening to all you know. have a great day!
Lisa Housden my pleasure and thank you so much for your sweet comment!
Its so cool to come back 7 years and see how you've grown! Thanks for the tips and product recommendations... 56 and first flare of eczema. Weird.
I was so frustrated with not being able to find a soap that works for my skin. I have been so itchy lately and have been getting eczema flare ups. I decided to try dove baby wash and aveeno baby wash and those are really working for me. I also bought Eucerin Eczema Relief Creme. ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Try Cerave soaps and creams...😊
Rami P I use cerave face wash and face lotion and I love those. Do they have cerave body wash?
Try a salt bath twice a week......use either Epsom salts or Dead Sea salt/about 350 grams per bath. 20 minute soak. Use soap for delicate skin.....see how you go.
You might be sensitive to something in your water. We use a water filter for the water coming into the house because we have a well. My water is full of minerals and metals. I’m very allergic to nickel.
i know scratching gonna worsen my eczema BUT IT FEELS SOOOOO GOOOOD😭
Yeaaa
Dermatologist must be held accountable for prescribing high dose of Topical Steroids. Long use makes the condition worse (Red Skin Syndrome) Topical Steroid Withdraw look it up!!
And perioral dermatitis
Yes I bout to go cus my doc out on my next appt wish I never ever took that cream or pills has made it worst now he want me to try this shot an idk if I should
Every 2 weeks man this sucks also have u guys ever heard of my situation never had eczema an now at 35 just got it bad out of no where doc dont help or give answers
Thank you for letting me know . I am terrified because I use Topical Steriods for my scalp psoriasis. It’s making it worst and not helping .
You guys should look up rob stuarts channel. He's a pro. Everything he talks about helps deal with TSW a LOT. And yes. The lack of accountability from these doctors is an absolute joke! My doctor recommended topical steroid creams to me for 2 years and prednisone when the cream stopped working...
Nutrition and foods are very important to eczema. For example Gluten and Dairy are the worst triggers for eczema even other problems like acne and psoriasis
Some good eczema “treatments” are: Vaseline, Aquaphor, and CeraVe
nola m vaseline??? It’s made from petroleum that’s only dead oils, not a good idea
Vaseline is what finally worked for me! I tried so many prescription meds but it was good ole petroleum jelly that saved my sanity and my skin!
Anie Wolf my dermatologist recommended my daughter use Vaseline. She constantly has flare ups so they don’t want her constantly using steroid creams.
Uh, no, no, and no.
@@zaineridling Yes, yes, yes. Petroleum jelly is the first line treatment. Source: UpToDate. www.uptodate.com/contents/treatment-of-atopic-dermatitis-eczema?source=history_widget#H4
I have this lotion called "glove in a bottle" and it's amazing for my eczema. You can find it on Amazon and it soaks in immediately. That's my recommendation for eczema
I LOVE ❤️ Sarna ... it relieves the itching of my skin so well.
I've been investigating best remedy for eczema and discovered a great resource at Takiras Magic Method (check it out on google)
My kids had REALLY bad eczema when they were toddlers and this is what helped us:
Switching up their lotions and creams. For whatever reason, a product would work, then stop after a while. So we had around 6 or so products that we would cycle with. Prescription creams worked, but bleach their skin, so we used those only when needed.
Colloidal oatmeal is the holy grail!!! We always have a lotion with colloidal oil in the house now. Much cheaper and lasts longer then Aveeno's oatmeal bath packets. And for us, grinding our own oats isn't the same as store bought. Don't ask why.. this is just a personal observation.
Ointments for bad flare ups, creams for minor flare ups. Creams can burn! However, you can make your own compound by mixing ointments with creams. There were times where we simply mixed vaseline with hydrocortisone for a quick fix.
Don't give up!! We tried I don't even know how many lotions on one of my kids until we saw a product called Skinfix. It was expensive, but nothing else was working. It cleared her eczema in a week! And it was bad!!!!! Her feet, ankles, back of her knees, inner thighs, lower back, armpits, inner elbows, wrists, and even here eyelids were red and inflamed! She'd gotten a staph infection once from itching. However, Skinfix didn't help my son too much. So don't give up!
This last one was a random discovery as I was attempting to solve a completely different problem- my son has tics so we made him magnesium oil which is just distilled water and epsom salt. Magnesium is good for cognitive health and best absorbed transdermal (aka through your skin). So we were spraying his arms, belly, and back. His arms had some eczema patches and cleared after a couple days. Turns out, magnesium oil is great for eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
I used to drown myself in vaseline and it helped alot, but vaseline was wayy to thick and uncomfortable to be applying 24/7 so I tried cerave and O MA GAWD CERAVE SAVED ME it helped me sm. It's not too thick, its cooling and soothing, and it hydrates eczema for a long time without reapplying
Thank you so much. I’ve been so embarrassed by mine. It’s on my foot, and I always been extremely embarrassed thinking people would think it’s a contagious fungus. Mine didn’t even start until I got in my 20s and it’s always in the same spot. On the side of my foot and sometimes on my hands but on my foot it gets bad. And I always blamed myself wondering what I did. I thought it was herpes for a long time. But stress always flares mine up. Thank you so much because for so long I didn’t know it was eczema. And then my friend told me about it. And listening to your advice has helped so much. Thank you. I subscribed. Thank you. I appreciate it so much I feel like crying because I never had enough money to go to a dermatologist, and listening to your advice has helped it disappear, I use to scratch it so badly it would bleed and I would pop the blisters and that was a bad thing to do. And thank you so much for making these videos. I feel like crying because I had no idea what to do. All I can say is thank you and I wish I could do something for you in return.

Drink a ton of apple cider or juices help. Walk a lot.
I’ve been binge watching your videos. You’ve change the way I take care of and view my skin health. Thank you! I’m curious to hear your knowledge on baby products. You say fragrance can be a an irritant. I looked at my daughters products and they pretty much all are crap (I think based off what I’ve heard from you). This is scary in itself. Why the hell would they promote products that aren’t even good for our kids? I would assume their skin is even more sensitive. 🤷🏼♀️ I’d love to hear your knowledge on the subject. Thank you again for everything!

My fellow eczema family , try bleach baths or using diluted bleach water to treat your impacted areas and follow up with some cortisone cream. My eczema on my face went away dram in 2 days!! Look it up on the internet, it worked better than anything I had ever done in the past. I couldn’t believe how well it worked. I cancelled my dermatologist appointment and will be doing this moving forward it I get anymore flare ups! Hope this helps someone.
Thank you so much for this video, i’ve been having a very bad flare up recently and have been trying to figure out what to use and how to go about getting it back under control! The list included in the description was so helpful!
Good.Please in future try to explain the disease with pictures as there are different types of skin diseases and we can't differentiate between exema and psoriasis etc. Thanks.
fragranced detergents are my number one eczema trigger. they also give me hives. not fun.
Yes to stress causing flare-ups! Saw an older dermatologist years back who was very sarcastic and said "so you experience more stress than others in the world?' When I said I believe it is a trigger for me. Wish I could have shut him down, so rude!
I’m having an extreme eczema flare up on my neck and my nose. Luckily I can wear a mask to cover up my lower face!
I hope you see this question. So, I have eczema. And when I wet wrap or use my creams and lotions (Eucerin And EpiCeram), it helps. But it also causes extremely bad dyshydrotic eczema. I get massive clear fluid filled blisters along with flat “blisters”. These little “holes” on my skin that when squeezed, clear liquid comes on. I hate them, they themselves can get super painful. So it seems like no matter what, if I heal the eczema, I get the dyshydrotic eczema.
I once asked my mom and dad if I could buy some casual gloves when going out but then they just yelled at me! They say that I'm so stupid since the weather is so hot but I feel so insecure whenever I show my eczema,I get glances from strangers which always lowers my self esteem.And when I'm going or with friends they always ask: Omg ur skin is still like that?/ What's that in ur skin and is it contagious? I honestly get so embarrassed I almost burst into tears. And when ur forced to wear short sleeves is legit the worse, People stare and it honestly makes me want to stay at home and lock all the doors.
I understand you. There were days when i cry while putting on creams. I've had it for 24 years now and the effect on self confidence is just too much. I always wear jeans since i have it in my legs. When it started spreading on my arms i had to wear long sleeves. I'm using dermovate for about 3 yrs now, you can buy it without prescription and it helps heal my flare up, but they come back. I'm just tired of going to dermatologists now (been going almost every year since 4 yrs old) they just say the same thing to me and not even as informative as dr dray.
You can take carrot juice with cucumber n honey daily. N on ur skin use Alovera , vitamin E n rose water n glycerin. Avoid glycerin on face. It helped me a lot n milk cream. Never use lemon or something containing citric acid,mustard oil is also good.

Thanks for this video. I've ordered a couple of your recommended lotion products. Fragrances seem to be skin triggers for me and I also have cutaneous mastocytosis. I've been told to try and stay away from steroids by my derm doc. Eczema is frustrating to treat for both patient and doc. I appreciate the food trigger info you provide. My mouth mucosa is sensitive to "mint" in oral health care products. Mint candy? No problem. Go figure.
What do you do when you only get flare ups due to the weather
Hello ma'am as soon as I saw your comment I wanted to help you and I googled your question so here are a few things you could do: skip hot baths cause heat can irritate skin, use a gentle soap, try a thick moisturizer, try a humidifier, drink plenty of water and take vitamin D supplements hop this is helpful ma'am
I've found that Carbamide(also known as Urea) shampoo in combination with a tea tree oil face scrub does wonders for my eczema. Most other shampoos, creams and moisturizers make my skin flake and burn, but products with these ingredients (Carbamide and tea tree oil) don't and help clear up the dry patches of skin.
I only have eczema on my face. Such a bad spot for it because I feel that’s what everyone stares at when they talk to me. I have it right below my nose and it spreads to my lip, I have had this issues for 10+ plus years just a few months ago I finally found the right thick cream for my skin and it’s doing so much better. The only issues I have now is my lips. They hurt so bad and a dry and flaking skin, they are also cracked and bleed, no matter summer or winter it’s a constant issue. Any advice on how to help my lips?
same issues here.. how r u now? did it cure? do let me updated.. tysm

Look up Rob Stuart on UA-cam he reversed his eczema and many others
Thanks for the advice! My worst enemies are stress, temperature and water (I have developed eczema on my hands just a couple of years ago). The cream my dermatologist has prescribed is corticosteroid to fix my hands issues (including other things) in a few days, if applied twice per day or something, and I also should be hydrating my hands with a proper moisturizer which sometimes I forget (I blame myself at a point, plus I wash my hands too much...). I will try to see if I can get from the pharmacy or something that kind of anti-itch cream at 01:39 some time, I tend to scratch my hands skin and it makes it worse at times.

I developed eczema after a traumatic medical crisis exacerbated by the pandemic. Also had radiation treatments. I found the information on this video helpful and plan to try some of the suggestions. I developed eczema on my upper lip with scaling and cold-sore like crud on one side. Since I couldn't use the topical prescription stuff on it, I started using Carmex for chapped lips. It took awhile, but it worked. No more scaly lip.
Hello I am 66 years old. Never had eczema till a year ago. I try to wear gloves when I work . But my hands sweat so I cut off fingers of the gloves. It kind of works I work with cardboard boxes they are drying to skin , but when I come home I use coconut oil on them . It works until I go back to work.
During the past Two winters, I acquired this rashes in the hand and wrists due to outbreak. As a result of that I managed to uncover regarding this eczema manual . Dryness, itchiness and redness were experienced around my very own hands. This is certainly an effective guide. I was not out of the trouble of covering my very own hands and fingers, thanks a lot for this manual. I endorse it.. the guide name in the reply below

Hi I think u just saved my life and skin bc every summer I deal with the same flare up probably from hay fever and this is the most helpful advice I’ve ever gotten. EVER.
I was just diagnosed yesterday with eczema.
I have had itching for 3 weeks. I haven’t been able to sleep at night. Ppl have been giving me advise like telling me to take Benadryl
I had been taking Benadryl and using cortisone cream and gold bond powder. Nothing helped. It was becoming unbearable to live with. I think a lot of ppl have no idea just how horrible eczema is. They think it’s just a rash. No big deal The dermatologist gave me a Kenalog injection in the office and a medrol dose pack to take at home. I still get itchy though and I really hope this treatment will stop the itching bc I can’t live like this. It’s miserable
Pam Scott hope you’ve found some relief 😞
Ik exactly how u feel
Hey ma'am I don't have eczema but I googled remedies for severe eczema symptoms here are a few things ma'am I'm very well trying to be kind and helpful to you you can try coconut oil, calamine lotion, or aloe vera gel, take a bleach bath, apply cool wet compresses, and avoid itching please let me know if any of these work for you ma'am ❤
Healing gut is important it helps reduce flare ups(probiotics and lglutamine is helpful for quicker healing,clean liver from metals can help as well)also many tips you said is very good.For me moving to all time warm dry climate helped almost never have a flare up only when I travel back to cold countries where temperatures below 13 degrees. Make sure you are not intolerant to parafinum based ointments some people only breakout after few days of using them , initially it soothes skin but in long run it might be a trigger too
“Make sure you’re taking good care of your emotional health” I’m not 😂😂
For me, the Aveeno brand really works! It’s a good moisturizer too if you have dry skin!
Eucrisa is a nightmare...... never try! I had 3rd degree burns lol

I use Dexeryl shower cream. It's the only thing I can wash my body with. If you prefer oils for washing your body (not me, it triggers my eczema!!) They do special oil that changes to some kind of foam when you wash yourself with it, and it doesn't leave oily effect on your skin. Even though the oil isn't perfect for me, my brother is completely fine after washing with it, so it really depends on your skin!
Hi, you said that foods don't generally trigger eczema. I find that certain foods do trigger my eczema like eggs...
Sonia Dossa what I said is correct but if you find your skin worsens after eating eggs then avoid them for sure
Ya, I have found that my eczema is triggered by eating pork (my body cannot process the histamines in pork interestingly enough!) What have you found that has helped you?

Hi Dr Dray- thank you for this video! There are some companies promoting honey creams to help treat eczema - some ingredients are pure organic honey, organic beeswax and sunflower oil- I am so tempted to buy this because of the impressive pictures they share of the people who have used the creams and have had success in calming down there skin- what do you think of this type of cream/ingredients in treating eczema?

I notice my skin becomes itchy after I apply white lotion such as aveeno or white cream such as cortisone. My skin does so much better with oil. Such as ointments.
Use oils and organic creams, unfortunately a lot of "brand" names are not good for skin :/ I just put out a video if you want to check it out; my mom uses it for her psoriasis 😊
Hello, Dr.Dray! thank you so much for this tip video!!! I recently got frustrating outbreak of eczema and psoriasis on my fingers and face. I am not even sure what i have on my face (whether it's eczema or psoriasis or both). I will definitely change all the products to your recommended products. Please keep up the wonderful work! Thank you again!!
Thanks so much!!
Quick question: I just bought Vanicream moisturizer for my face and fingers. Should i just only put that as a daily skin care or do you recommend any other products with it for eczema/psoriasis outbreak?
What can be used for eczema on eyelids.
i’ve been using a prescription strength steroid cream and i’m trying to wean myself off of it. thank you so much!
I was recently diagnosed with eczema at the age of 41. Never have had eczema in my life before. Trying to learn all I can about it. I have seen my dermatologist and she recommended many of the same things you did. I am currently using most of it. She also recommended me take Zyrtec for the rest of my life. I took it for two weeks and it cleared up everything. I just don’t get why I should take it forever?
Do you still using it? I wanna help a friend do you still have flare ups? Or do you took care of it?
Hi Dr. Dray, what do you think about cethaphil products? Does it good for eczema? Btw, i find your video is so informative, thank you so much! 😊
The only time I really struggle with flare up is when I use any kind of sunscreen and I have no idea what to use because everything I’ve tried has made it terrible on my face
What about oil-based sunscreens??
Let me know if u dins anything that helps,
I use creams with 7% ectoin on my flared up skin and it's the only thing that is able to help my skin calm down immediately. A couple of Bioderma sunscreens contain ectoin too, for example Bioderma Photoderm Max - have you tried it? Bioderma doesn't say how much ectoin is in their products, I bet it's not even close enough to 7% - but I can feel it works in a similar way as ectoin creams but just a little bit weaker.
try biore UV watery gel SPF 50 ++++, its a japanese one, super goood
That used to happen with me as well but I found it was the sunscreens were really thick and they made me feel soooo uncomfortable so I started using gel sunscreen after I moisturize and it really helped
Thank you for this. My dermatologist has never talk about sleeping or stress.
Same. Amazing how much holistic methods/or just plain information dermatologists DON'T tell patients. I'm on my second Derm. and when I do something holistic - she's like Oh yeah, that's helpful or eczema doesn't like this or that. Waste-o-time and money. I've learned so much on You Tube. Thank you Doctor and Thanks, especially for all the comments!
me, lighting my eczema on fire with hot water daily because it feels good on the itch: why isn’t this getting better
Lmao but Jokes aside, thank you for this video. I’m 21 and finally so fed up with being a giant walking scab so I appreciated all the advice!!
Try pure hemp oil.
Krystin Loves Makeup Did hemp oil clear up your eczema?
ZarriahRose fucking saaaaame! Lmao
Try ice packs instead of hot water.
O literally have 27 degree burns on my hand from the hot water 🤣😃😄😅
Hi Dr.Dray.I am a fan of yours and you have helped me a lot.I have been on tretinoin for approximately 2 years.I have lately developed eczema .
Do you think the tretinoin could have caused the eczema.If yes,what could I substitute in its place. Thanking you in advance.
I have eczema on my eyelids. Do you recommend using the same products on my eyelid area?
I work in a salon. My hands are always in soap and water and hand sanitizer. I just bought the Sarna anti itch cream. It's a keeper. Thank you :)
I don't even have eczema but watched this anyway. I always learn so much from you and find it all so interesting.
Shannon Graham thanks Shannon! So happy the video was informative for you!
Wearing fake nails has helped me so much. They keep my nails from breaking my skin and can help keep me from scratching because there isnt the satisfaction
Do you have tips for dyshidrotic eczema? I am experiencing a flare up on my feet/toes.
My triggers are pollen,dust,etc
So yeah.
I live in a state that tends to get a crazy amout of pollen in spring.
So summer and spring I can rarely wear flip flops because of a large patch on my ankle
wish my eczema would be gone & not come back at all, I've had it since I was probably 9, 10 years & now I am 29 yrs old
still dealing with it... wish there was a way it be disappear, but can't it runs on my mom's side of the family
I'm allergic to the sun , so can't go out in the sun at
Can't use any other kind of Hand soap , or lotion , I've been stuck with baby lotion since I was born
so all together for 29 years if I use any other kind of lotion it will act up twice more
sometimes I hate my life , but it's the truth
but what can I use to get rid of my dry lips and my dry skin on my face at this right moment , been itchy nonstop
so therefore any tips please and thank you
Marabelle Mndwgn I’m not a dermatologist but using baby lotion still has fragrance in it. So I would go with any non fragrance moisturizer like Shea butter.
Here's a great treatment for eczema: HootSkin.xyz
Also u can try cutting out dairy,egg,wheat. That flares me up.
Even if u don't think it may help, just try it for a week or 2 and then decide
Oatmeal facemasks (pure oats mixed with boiling water and then cooled down to form a facemask paste) and oatmeal baths has helped my eczema more than any cream, ointment, steroid, remedy and I've tried literally everything.
I use Vaseline on my eczema because It's greasy and locks in the moisture to the dry skin.
Jayden Misten same it works well 💯
Omg I'm so glad I found you! My eczema is pretty bad right now! I've been eating a lot of tomatoes and cherry tomatoes lately. Are tomatoes a trigger? Thanks Dr.! Oh I subbed too :)
no, but people w/ eczema can have tomatoe allergy and that can rev it up for sure
Remove tomatoes , dairy and wheat. Those are top triggers
Thank you for all your information, my 5 years old daughter is Suffering of Eczema almos for 2 years already!😢😢😢😢😢
