Please wait...
for the last 4 years i have had terrible bouts of eczema and dyshydrotic eczema and generalized eczema. once a flair starts it becomes terrible!! i have tried everything and i know some of the triggers. i have found it is mostly diet related and life style related however once a flare starts then it is a cascade and gets worse. I am a doctor and i doubt most everything without trying it first. So i have tried everything and i can tell you what really works! i am not promoting anything i am only posting here to see if anyone here has had similar experience and has had results so i can get more specific on my regimin. i had tried steroids and h2 blockers which do help but the side effects of steroids are terrible-hair loss and pimples .
i was taking CISSUS- a natural supplement , and taking for a shoulder injury
high dose VITAMIN A
DHEA- 12.5mg-25mg a day
so once i started taking these my eczema improved DRAMATICALLY!! and RESOLVED QUICKLY!
once again
VITAMIN A-5-10,000 units/day DHEA-12.5-25mg /day CISSUS-3,000-5000mg /day
ANYONE ELSE TRIED THIS COMBINATION? IF NOT PLEASE TRY AND LET ME KNOW !

high doses of vitamin A are toxic to the liver and cause very serious side effects, I hope you know that.

I have tried DHEA, only for a few days, and it has elimininated my eczema. I also take B6 (250mg), folic acid (400mcg) and B12 (1000mcg). The only other effective treatment for me is sun exposure.

I have had what I assume is exzema for over a year. Cortisomes no longer work . it has spread from shin bone on left leg up to hip, right leg, back and upper arms. The itch can become extreme and affects sleep. I have lost faith in doctors as all they seem to do is give me stronger ointments that cost up to $80.00 . It simply chases the rash from one area to another.
Has anyone ever suspected gluten being the culprit, or is that crazy? I have been using gluten in homemade bread for some time now.

No medication will help. The only thing you can do is relax, meditate and not scratch. The only cure is not scratching. Sorry, but there are no miracle meds. It is a shitty condition you are stick with. You must stop scratching. You've become addicted to the scratching. It almost feels orgasmic. You must stop. It is the only way to rid yourself of this terrible affliction.

To Med...first of all why would you tell people who are affected by this awful disease that no medication will help. Aren't you a pessimistic fool. You have no idea of what you are talking about. To all those who are reading this, please do not give up hope in finding a treatment for this disease. Where there is a will there is a way. Good luck

I have eczema since I was 2, I am 23. My poor parents tried everything and I have learned it is a nerve disorder. When I used to fight with my siblings growing up I would be clawing at my arms and legs. Even now as a married woman I catch myself doing it when my husband and I argue. I learned around 12 acrylic nails help, you can't break the skin but that doesn't help you men.
I know if I am wearing a fabric that irritates my nerves I'll start itching. Don't know how to help with just having dry skin though, at least there are no more sores or staph.

I have suffered with chronic eczema all my life and turn 50 next month. I have tried every treatment, from steroids(which have thinned my skin terribly) to numerous alternatives including Chinese herbs which did ease it for a while. Last year a friend said she had heard of someone with psoriasis who had been taking turmeric and that it helped and wondered if it may do the same for my eczema. Wasn't sure how I was supposed to take it but went to health food store and they sold it in capsule form, took one 600mg capsule a day and skin was 50% better within a month, by 2 months I was clear. Have been taking one capsule a day now for almost a year and its the most relief I've had from eczema in my whole 50 years. Too scared to stop taking it! Because so many things haven't worked for me over the years I didn't believe for one minute it would work but so glad I gave it a try. My grown up son suffers eczema too and he has had success with turmeric as well. It may not work for everyone but its worth a try if you've been suffering and tried everything. Be interested to hear if anyone else has tried it.

Hi everyone, I can’t tell you how thankful I am to find this blog. I’ve had a war with eye lid eczema for about 6 months now (on a off) and yesterday, was my very worse day….ever! So embarrassing and so painful and SO UGLY. Had to even leave work (I never do that) Came home and did some research and made an appointment with a good allergist. My family doc prescribed a 0.5 percent coritcosteroid cream called Verdeso and it hasn’t helped. Have done rounds of prednizone and like most, as soon as I stop…it’s back! I’ve read almost every post and have picked up so many pointers. I’m going to focus on what fingering out triggers my eczema through testing and focus on eating healthy and exercising more. Thanks again everyone for all your help and advice. Something I learned yesterday that seems to have helped the swelling and the itch, vitamin E oil...Good luck to all of you too!

I have eczema in the genital area for almost 6 months now. At first, I thought it was a fungal infection as the symptoms and appearance are similar. I've tried all sorts of -azole type of creams (tioconazole, ketoconazole, clotrimazole). I also took keton meds, and fluconazole. It worked for a while and then it stopped working. Now the skin is so thin that even when I get an erection, the skin breaks. It is very painful. Last night, I started using Vandol (vitamin A ointment) and so far, the itching and scaling has gone. I'm on my third application this afternoon as I have to do it 3 times a day. It does seem to have improved the condition of my skin. I hope it will get cured before July when my girlfriend comes home from overseas work.
