Re: PLEASE HELP ME 21 yrs Old Mysteriously Developed "Eczema" last year
I would say it is eczema!! I went through the same thing. It's a very long sad story, so I'll spare you. But I became allergic almost overnight to random moisturizers, cleansers and make up. That led to other sensitivities over the years. Then we moved to San diego and I delveloped severe eczema from head to toe, to the point of immobility. Anyway, I had blood tests and biopsy but was too covered for allergy testing. It occured to me that eczema, asthma, and hay fever are all genetic and also run in my family. I realized I'm allergic to lots of things outside. Anyway, it started like yours and has grown into an over reacting immune response to almost everything from lotions and potions to tropical plants.
I put myself on zyrtec-D back in January and stopped getting worse. I was improving at the rate I had hoped and had been seeing a homeopath for a while. (I gave up on doctors a long time ago and quit filling their stupid perscriptions for hydrocortizone.. useless and damaging in the long run). Anyway, my mom had has great relief from her hay fever with a homeopath remedy called Natrum Muricum. I tried it and I am happy to say I am almost 100% better. You can pick it up at the health food store at 30c potency or order it online.
Eczema is triggered differently in everybody, but your story is like mine in regard to the sudden onset from skin products. I still take zyrtec without the decongestant because I am not completely out of the woods but as I improve naturally from this remedy, I will wean myself off of it. FYI.. I started with the 30c potency off the shelf and it only healed me to a point so I ordered a 200c online and started taking it 2 weeks ago. I am amazed how much better I feel.
I don't know about you but I never realized the emotional shift that comes with allergies.. brain fog, anxiety, depression. As I get better, I feel "normal", clear headed, less anxious.
I hope this helps. My face looked just like your after using a face moisturizer with a pink tint. I realized I'm allergic to red/lavender dyes.. anything pinkish would send me to the same day clinic, but now I know and I avoid. With homeopathy, we don't have to slowly box ourselves in. It triggers your body to sort out the deep down cause that is triggering the immune response.. hense the eczema.
I didn't plan on going on and on like this..
Good luck
