Hope this helps in some way to any of you who suffer with eczema also wel here it goes.... 1. I dont take showers longer than 10mins and i only use warm water more like goin towards cold lol 2. Drink lots of water keep your body hydrated, its summer so even more 3. Dont smoke(i dont smoke) ..sucks cause most of my friends smoke so second hand smoke is just as bad but i try to keep away from it. 4. I dont use lotions its just water anyways so i feel i have to reaply over and over so creams are my safe zone. 5. I dont use anything that has fragrance it irritates my skin bad if i do. 6. When i get out of the shower i pat my self dry and if i do have bad affected areas i pat some cream with my hands (eucerin cream the nice thick one) and kind of let it sit there for a while but i try not to rub alot atleast 7. I didnt mention it on this video but i take my Gla and my MSM helps alot reallyyyyy

I smoke, and i only have 4-5 drinks of water a day , i am 14 years old, im scrony, 135 pounds, im canadian i need help cuz my hands get cold easily .. they stay cold for a long period of time, and i got exzema.
@shobnom Yep…..thats probubly the only the thing that has helped until I started taking vitamins.
has your eczema gone?
What help me is mixing vaseline and a thick lotion together and applying it right after im out the shower, when i am wet. lol……its pobubly best to use this method befor bed though. By morning my skin is like a newborns.
how does water help?
i had eczema since i was 1 and i still have it now
I Have Eczema On My Neck And The Area Between Where My Arms Meet Its Very Annoying Especially The Itching. Im A Teenager Though. Could This Be Triggered By Growing? And As You Have Problems In Summer I Seem To Have Mine More In Winter Where I Live It Gets Very Cold And Dry Out. Appreciate The Advice.
i have eczema i barely drink water and im addicted to smoking :/ so im basically screwed
Stress is linked to eczema surprisingly. Idk if you already knew that but just in case. but it is life like you said. I still have hope they will find a cure someday.
Im glad i could help in some way. Hope all is good and you are doing better. Ive been wanting to get a allergy test but they are expensive and i dont have health insurance so booo.
Sitting my exams probly not the best time to have eczema cause it’s flaring up so bad but yeah thats life hydrocortison works well on my face.
@8787liz I noticed this too because my first day of highschool my eczema started to flare up on my arms really bad.Stress with do it. I used to get it where my elbow bends except on the inside. Not directly on my elbows. Now its changed to the inside of the my thighs a little bit and my shoulders. Its a drag.
Eczema sucks.lol. But thanks for ur tips! =) i hate it when the winter comes cuz it makes it worse…
This can deff get you down ive had eczema since i can remember im 22. Ive never been to a allergist but iheard its really expensive and without insurance woo yeah no lol. But we have to stay posive tive even if it seems unrealistic but i would love it if there was someone who specialized just in eczema
Eczema has been with me since I was born and I’m 17 now. I would have terrible flare ups on my feet and on my face. Now it’s getting better. My feet just get dry now, and my face gets dry and cracked. My loving parents have done everything to help cure this. But we’ve never even been to an eczema doctor just Dermatologists and Allergists. Your videos are very helpful, I haven’t heard most of the methods you said.
This stuff can get you down, but I’ve learned to just try to deal with it..
me 2
I do and I take flaxseed oils and since i started it helped so much and vitamin E and A and fish oils (I tihkn they are the same) Thanks:)
Im sorry hun, but yes Stress does trigger your eczema more. I know the feeling I have eczema in my face and around my eyes and in my body im having the worst flare up summer agrevates my eczema. Alot of ppl dont undestand it does get to me sometimes buti try to brush those comments off. if you have seen my other videos but take supplements MSM and Omega 3, 6 it does take a little while to see results with natural medicine. Oh and try jojoba oil and use creams fragrance free.
Im 15 years old and I suffer from sever eczema my mom told me when im 15-18 those are going to be the most best experines of my life, but I now suffer from eczema it first started as athletes foot now its on my hands so when I play football I cant hi-five anyone because i fell like there going to make funny of me and i also worry alot about it which causes me stress and I heard that stress is bad for eczema so
Thnaks so much for telling me about tapping it in or somethin like that no rubbing
Me too. Im having the worst flare up right now its seems like fall or winter is never goin to get here. lol But yeah drink lost of water it does many wonders for us but especially the skin.
i have Dyshidrotic Eczema.. it only happens in the summer on hands & feet.. i cant wait til it gets cold so it tons down.. i think im gonna have to water.. lol i barely do.
Same here well since I was 7yrs old. My eczema gets worse in the summer the heat the sweat make me itch like crazy, I love fall and winter but I wont get all excited still have to see how this winter goes. Its good that you drink the vitamins same here and moisturize ALOT and drink Alot of water. Well Thanks
I’ve had this all my life. I manage to tone it down during the winters when it’s at its worst with alot of vitamin/ omega-3 pills. On a different note, I’ve heard about “Leaky gut syndrome” causing excema. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it but I’m planning on taking some pills to strengthen my “guts” lol. ps good vid
Im sure its the camera thanks though
