hello. i am a 22 year old girl with eczema. i have had it since i was 12. actually, i feel like i can say eczema changed my whole life. (of coz in a bad way!) even though i have had it for 10 years, i still don’t have any soultions about it.
So lets talk about it. people

I am interested in learning more about eczema and the various treatments and how to better managing living with eczema because both myself and duaghter are suffers of the skin condition.

I have a 7 month old with bad eczema and have been to about 5-6 doctors with little or no help. Now I would like some insight from those who also deal or have dealt with
this same problem. Thanks

I had signed up before but don’t remember which email account i used or anything so i am doing it over.

I have an 8 month old nephew with eczema so severe, it has become a disablity. He is unable to sleep, crawl, or even be put down. I need to find answers of how to treat or cope with something so debilitating to an innocent infant.

I am a senior staff nurse within an outpatients dermatology department. There are many ideas surrounding improving the quality of life for those living with eczema. Some bad but some good. I need to expand my knowledge base so that when faced with suggestions from those who have entrusted their care to me I can offer something other than the ‘orthodox’ view point.

My nephew has severe ecezema and thus far has been hospitalized for staph 4 times. He is only 6 years old. His skin looks like it has been burnt, it flakes, and bleeds, and he has been to numerous specialists. My questions are the following: 1. are these staff infections serious? 2. who in the country would be the best specialist?

I’ve had an itch since mid-January. No hives; just itching, then I develop sores. Looking for answers.

My name is Denise and I have dyshidrotic eczema which is on the bottom of my toes and on the side of my feet by my little toes. I have been wearing socks and house slippers since last august I’ve been to two dermatologist and even a podiatrist and it has not gone away. I can’t take steroids because my heart races and blood pressure goes up. I am getting very depressed because of the pain…

just to meet friends

Well I have had atopic dermatitis all my life(i’m 27) and I have dealt with the good times and the bad…there is hope for all of us out there. Be who you are and forget the rest!!!

Relief for eczema

How do you stop it from itching so bad? I tried over the counter medication and percription medication and nothing seems to work. It just itches and is dry and bumpy. The doctors called my condition Solar eczema.l

Hi all, I am the mom of a 4 year old son who has suffered terrible for more almost three years with moderate/severe eczema. Most all of his sheets have blood stains on them from thne constant nightime scratching. He has scares mainly on his heels and knees but the eczema seems very nondiscriminationg about its location. He pretty much it from head to toe.
My husband gave him a mo-hawk at the beginning of the summer bc his hair is so thick and he just cannot tolorate the heat/sweating. We have also spend the last two months in the house because of this, we live in texas and the 104 degree heat is so humid that it effects not only his skin but his asthma as well.
Eczema runs in my family, my brother and two of my nieces have had it but it has cleared up with all of them, of coyrse no one has had it like my son.
We have tried all of the RX and the only one that I have stuck with is the topical steroid. Elidel and protopic did NOTHING and I mean NOTHING. Also there are many reports about suspected cancer and liver damage with the drugs. I knw that there are side effects from the steriod but we have yet to see them and right now the benefit outweighs the risk. He baths only once a week because the water hurts him so badly, he screams and says that it burns, needless to say we have not been swimming this summer.
In addition to the steroid we use Aquphor, not the cream but the ointment. He has been tested for allergies and he so far is allergic to cats, dogs, pollin, and grass. They stopped testing him and the Allergist told me it was no good to worry about what he was allergic to, we simply couldn’t alter our lives that much. he would have to grow out of it, and despite the fact that it has gotton worse they still tell me he will probably out grow it. I am really beginning to wonder.
A few months ago while playing at McDonalds a women pulled her son away from mine, they were playing, she must have thought he was contagious. Everywhere we go people stare, his arms and legs are wounded and scabbed up. The doc says that adults with eczema say that the pain of scratching until it bleeds actually feels better than the constant severe itching…this makes me very sad, that my baby would rather feel pain that the daily itching and discomfort.
I declared war on this disease but it is winning. I am terrified that my son will battle this his whole life, that it will never get better. The social stigma alone is too much to think about. he will be starting pre-k next week. Two days a week and I have no idea what to expect from the teachers, paretns or even other kids. the entire thing feels so hopeless.

Hi there everyone,

I was online searching for information about psoriasis for a friend and came across a site that directed me to this site. I have suffered with Eczema since childhood. For a number of years this condition seemed to have disappeared, however, in the last 2 years I had a break out that affected my neck. When I was a child, I only had it in the back of my knees. Now its in my elbows as well as my neck. I’m so embarrassed when I wear clothes without collars as everyone can see this part of my body. I mostly wear pants to work so my legs don’t show. Is there something out there that can control this condition?
