Hi Susie!
I am in the same situation. My eczema on my hands started in Setpember/October 2009. It started on my right hand near my pinky finger and down the side and has slowly been making is way around all my fingers (I have hope, as the side on my hand by my pinky completely healed!). Last weekend all my fingers on my right hand up! And since this happend I have been researching like mad to get this to settle down. I have also used the steriod creams but it always comes back, plus the steriods are not good for you, so I am not using that right now. My dermatologist has recommended using Cetaphil cream and hand wash, I also used Aveno (the one with the blue lid), I found the Aveno worked a little better, however it was a little greasy, the Cetaphil is not so much. When this all started back in 2009, it was a year after having my second child, my Granny died that year, I was planning my wedding and I was dealing with postpartum, went back to work after my maternity leave to a new job (huge anxiety started after I started this job, at this point I started on anti-depressants). I belive it is a combination of stress/anxiety and not eating totally healthy, I have changed my diet now, I have stopped coffee and alcohol and I am eating much more fruits and vegetables and staying away for sugar and white flour as best I can. As you are, I am trying my best to not stress out over things, take deep breathes and then deal with it calmly. Sometimes it is very hard to do. I can’t belive when I read your post, I thought, my goodness that is me!! Let me know if you come across anything that works for and I will do the same. And yes, hang in there!!!

Hi my daughter is 2 and has eczema. Her eczema flared when i was trying a different laundry detergent. I found that tide doesnt cause a reaction. Also its common that the eczema will subside around the time the child turns 3, but it is possible it reoccur later in life depending on what type of eczema it is. If u have anymore Q’s my email is eansmn182010@gmail.com

Hi, I saw your problem….Are you allergic to nickel???
I would do detox first so toxins can be out to strength immune system.
Check 3day detox or some thing you can fit into your life.
Since I did mine went away for longest time so I need to do detox again!! Also take New Chapter Vitamins it has more pure vitamins without additives. use ELEMIS.com Milk bath also you can use like lotion try that! Good luck!

Please go to Facebook and join Eczema Parents group. It tells of my daughter’s story and is a support group for parents. I strongly advise you to look into the foods. Not just true food allergies, but also read about Oral Allergy Syndrome. We have eliminated several foods from my daughter’s diet and have seen huge improvements. You have to eliminate one thing at a time and reintroduce to see if it makes a difference. It takes time but well worth it.

I have had eczema since I was born. My parents took me to a doctor, who said we should go and live somewhere where there was less traffic. So we did, but ever since then it’s just become worse and worse. I’ve tried all sorts of creams and stuff, but it just doesn’t go away! I don’t know what to do anymore and it really hurts.

I have had eczema since i was little and there is a certain spot on my hand where it has always been and its not like a trigger reaction because it never goes away the only change is that it spreads more come winter time thats it but other than that its always in that certain spot on my hand n i have went to doctors n they just perscribe lotions that never end up working. So i have no idea what to do anymore!

Rosa – I have the same thing! I wake up with swolen itchy eyelids and I also have it on the inside of my arms (elbow). For me, the worst part is in the morning, then it gets better throughout the day, so I’m convinced it is happening overnight. I was told to buy a humidifyer for my bedroom and to UP my water intake. I have not been wearing make-up, afraid to irritate it. Not feeling pretty for a long time… wish me luck.
