My eczema keeps coming right back after it clears up with the cream my doctor gave me......?

So it goes away for a couple of days and then it comes right back when I stop using the cream. I have asked two different doctors how long am I supposed to keep applying it and they always say until it goes away.....well I do that, but!!! I have even kept using the cream for a week after it's gone hoping that would make it stay gone. I don't like this cycle thing because I hear these rash creams thin your skin out over time, and that kinda creeps me out. I am not very thick-skinned to begin with!! I don't use harsh face cleaners, i only use Eucerine or Cetaphil but that doesn't seem to matter to my eczema. I heard that sulfur is good for eczema, so I use that at least once a week, but no results. How long did it take for your eczema to go away?

actually the eczema just showed up a couple of years ago when i turned 26 and hasn't gone away since. I have been on mostly vegan diet almost all year and just recently started consuming dairy products again and notice no change in health at all.

Hi MAO




Here is a herb remedy that will work. For long term health learn about colon and liver cleansing to clear out the toxins in the blood.

1. Take 1-3 droppersful of Echinacea Plus Tincture (at herbdoc.com or another qualified site) to strengthen the immune system.

2. Rub Garlic oil ALL over the affected area (Garlic will kill anything if you use enough of it)

3. Give 1-3 glasses of Activated Charcoal Slurry per day (to absorb the toxins out of the blood)

4. Mix equal parts of Aloe Vera Gel, Slippery Elm Powder and Activated Charcoal Powder together (absorbs the toxins externally)

5. Apply a thin layer of this mixture over the AFFECTED area(s).

6. Continue this treatment, until the desired Results are achieved.

This is healing at it's highest point.

Cause
Eczema is often called Dermatitis, and may be a symptom of an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency. Eczema can be due to allergies, allergies secondary to digestive disorders such as hydrochloric acid deficiency, rashes secondary to immune diseases, genetic metabolic disorders, and/or nutritional deficiencies, especially of niacin (vitamin B3) and B6, as well as other B vitamins.

To minimize your risk of developing eczema, avoid irritating substances, wear natural nonirritating materials, use soothing ointments, and check to see if dietary, nutritional, and/or and allergy-causing factors need to be considered.

Other ideas that will help:
Be sure to drink around a gallon of filtered water daily to flush out excess waste and toxins.

Cleansing: Do a colon and liver cleanse to help rid of the toxins in the blood.

Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can help speed healing: black currant and red grapes; carrot, beet, spinach, cucumber, and parsley; and wheat grass juice.

Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin A and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), an omega-6 essential fatty acid found in high quantities in evening primrose oil, have both been shown to improve the symptoms of eczema. Vitamin E. Other useful supplements for preventing and reversing eczema include vitamin B complex, vitamin B6, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc.

Topical Treatment: Apply evening primrose oil directly to cracked and sore areas of the skin. A topical paste made from ginkgo and licorice root extract has also been shown to improve eczema symptoms.

Cleansing: Your body is trying to let you know your blood has toxins. The body has to release the toxins some how and they escape through the skin. A colon and liver cleanse is the long term answer for a healthy body.

Best of health to you

It's in your blood. You have to pamper yourself for the rest of your life. It doesn't go away...but your skin do smooth out.

This may not be your problem, but my son would get eczema breakouts when he consumed milk products. He uses Cortaid, takes Aveeno oatmeal baths and has a humidifier in his room. If he's feeling itchy and he can't get it under control, the doctor will give him a round of antibiotics. You might want to get allergy tested to see if something in your environment or something that you are consuming is causing your eczema. It will be a lifelong battle though. I don't think eczema will go away. You just get the frequency and severity of the breakouts under control.

Eczema comes and goes. However,t he prescription creams can cause a rebound effect. The eczema suppresses the problem artificially and when you stop, it can keep rebounding back. Keep your skin moisturized with an unscented moisturizer, use the prescription cream very sparingly (ie very thin layer) as little as possible.
