Re: Please can anyone give help on eczema, I am so lost...

Dear Aunty

First I'd like to thank you for your message, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I agree with you that I need to address my immune system and I am in the process of doing this. To answer your questions, I'll explain how I am trying to deal with my eczema, and then add my questions afterwards. I am based in London, UK.

Location of eczema
inside of arms, neck, face(particularly in eyebrows area),back of knees, tummy area, inside of thighs, folds near underwear and leg area, folds near upper arm area (front and back), and patches on hands. Breast area has been quite bad recently (oozing).

Most irritated time for eczema
During the evening and night time (I take Zirtek antihistimaines, but I never get a good nights sleep). It also gets irritated when I am outside in the summer, spring when it is very cold and I am inside and the central heating is on. I get very hot and itchy and it flares up at any time.

Current skin care regimen
I use Aveeno Shower & Bath oil, then use Aveeno Lotion(one with menthol to stop itching). I do not wear any make up and
use Neals yard Calendula shampoo. I don't take hot baths or showers as it dries out skin, onlu luke warm or cold, I find cold cools the skins.

Diet
I do not eat eggs, peanuts, cheese, mushrooms, pork, dairy products. I eat meat, fish and veg, and fruit and I try to stay away from bread and pasta but find it difficult. I also stay away from sweets, and chocolate but sometimes do have chocolate. I don't have soft drinks, tea, coffee, and only have green tea and water. I have had an allergy test saying that I am allergic to caramel food coloring s and bright food colourings so that rules out cola and sweets. I am trying not to eat wheat, but find it hard to keep up with this in my diet.

Allergy tests
Went to homeopathic and they said I was allergic to tree pollens in spring, grass pollens in summer, weed pollens in autumn and dust mites throughout winter season. Tried desentisization, but it did not work. I have booked for a food intolerance check and colon hydrotherapy.

Inner cleansing and support.
Exspore to clean system, zinc picolonate to rebuild cells, Biocare multivitamin, and have been having Pure Hemp seed oil.

Environment
I use Surcare washing powder and I wear only cotton. I tried the dust free matress cover but found that it made me feel sweaty as if my skin couldnt breathe properly. I will look into an air purifier soon.

I have been doing this for a while now, but still feel the same, and do not use any steroid creams. What I don't understand is that I completely get better when I am in a hot country. I don't think that it is due to stress as I have had since 2 years old. I do have constipation at times,and doctor said i had candida so I have been trying to clean out my system. Thank you for your responses, I hope I have explained my condition a bit more clearly. I have stopped all steroid creams, tablets...maybe all toxins are coming out...it just feels like its been forever, and I want a quality of life now. Any more suggestions would be appreciated with much hope...I check this forum everyday.

Thanks again
Louise
