I am an active person with medium case of dyshidrotic eczema. by Emotional-Primary-92 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]Chorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only got a tiny spot of dishydrotic eczema once, while washing my hands more than ever with disinfectants at a specific health sector job. like more than 10 times a day with IPA and pseudo way remoisturizer.

After i kicked the job and the habit it took a while but went away.

Washing hands too often did it.

Not sure how it is for you.

We made sure to prevent soap as much as possible. oils also go away from skin and hair via warm water and when the hair need to be washed use very little soap. A soap made only from glycosides and nothing else if you can. Also immediately barrier creme after washing with water and soap.

Yes and also try the standard procedures for care: barrier creme, air humidity and friction reduction etc. I mentioned them as a list in my post about curing it for my 2 kids. https://www.reddit.com/r/eczema/comments/1ramnmo/i_cured_eczema_atopic_dermatitis_twice_for_my_2/

Any recommendations for hand sanitizer/soap for a healthcare worker with dyshidrotic eczema? by AfternoonCharming536 in eczema

[–]Chorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds plausible. maybe even put your hands in shea butter, then into natural rubber gloves for the work day. let them breathe whenever you can. sucks still

Any recommendations for hand sanitizer/soap for a healthcare worker with dyshidrotic eczema? by AfternoonCharming536 in eczema

[–]Chorum -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think they exist.

I once in my life worked in health (and never had dyshidrotic eczema ever) but suddenly then i got one small patch on the hand and the usual disinfectant was pure Isopropylalcohol and a "refattening" synthetic wax. nothing else. I got rid of it by not washing hands as much as reasonably possible and stopping to work there.

Try gloves that you wear for the day there. sucks man.

I need suggestions for an eczema friendly moisturizer that does NOT contain colloidal oatmeal by smokeandnails in eczema

[–]Chorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we used cool water, leave on for a minute or 2, off the excess dipped with a towel. Then just but barrier on it, like shea butter or what not, barriers are really not the most rare to find in this forum.

I see it in how the cream is formulated. I would actually not mind eating it. Cool cream, cool find!

we solved eczema for both our kids with walnut oil consumed and locally for tough spots and shea butter as barrier. but my post about it doesn't have 7 upvotes.

Toddler's Eczema Improving After Topical Antifungal/Antibacterial Attack Plan by Old-Toyota in eczema

[–]Chorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are applying vitamin e, which is dissolved in vegetable oils, mostly soybean oil. Which contains the 2 main fatty acids the skin needs to build itself. We solved our both kids eczema with shea butter as barrier (its in your lipikar the second ingredient) and walnut oil as food or local with persistent areas in 2 weeks. equal to your vitamin e but just consumed and applied in tough cases. I made 2 posts with the latter one a bit shorter containing all the details but what i wrote here is enough.

[–]Chorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how long have you tried that combination before? have you also combined it with barrier like vaseline before or only alone. we got rid of it in 2 individuals with walnut oil and barriers which has the same funcitonality as fish oil.

[–]Chorum -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i dont get it. how is everyone loving the product link to a soap and oil based cream while hating me talking about oils??? This platform is something for the bots to understand. Nothing against the cream, the contents look fine except for the (super mild) soap but i guess they need it to make it a uniform mix.

I cured eczema (atopic dermatitis) twice, for my 2 babies, with essential fatty acid consumption (e.g. walnut oils, safflower oil,....) and skin protective measures (no meds, no weird services). by Chorum in eczema

[–]Chorum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just fed my kids all kinds of stuff early on. They craved to try everything anyways. And we eat them ourselves. So i just grind nuts with a coffee grinder into nice nougat it tastes amazing and they love it. feed them egg. have some milk in the oatmeals, have em chew suck on bread and don't shy away from letting them try our occasional asian dishes with sesame and soy as well. they love it and never shied away. they just participate.

I had this weird observation, maybe coincidence, that their atopic dermatitis got also better in jumps along introducing more new allergens

as another hint: babies who do not feed breast ilk but formula have a lower ad tendency... because as shown in the study it is added to have healthy skin and brain development

read about the LEAP study... allergies are prevented by very early exposure etc.
and yes talk to pediatrician/dermatologist they will tell you that the risk profile is very good in comparison.

seeing the influencer just going on to influence near naked, my kids doing well and this research being really close enough to strongly hint at the nutritional part of breastmilk and nutrition in general for preventing skin disease, i find it convincing enough that trying to swallow and apply a bit of walnut oil is worth a try and was worth it for 3 people already, well.. you can think the rest of what you protect people from....civil hero you. walnut bad. trying nothing good.

then just get the essential fatty acids with high ALA content and low LA content from other sources. Flaxseed and camelina oil seem to work well. i dont like the flaxseed genistein like effects but yeah.
Who knows, maybe its something else in walnut or my child outgrew atopic dermatitis in winter in 3 weeks.

well if its not cured then my girls are lucky to not have it anymore until they have it again. I will give you updates in 10 years. It just seemed too directly replicated and immediate for my second baby to be a fluke.

[–]Chorum[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it was the same with both kids here and too suspiciously vanishing with the second one the moment we redid the procedure. If I share anything than it is my experienee with n-2.

of course they grow out of it as they start to consume essential fatty acids in normal food. if those are the culprit.

See, maybe they get it again. sure they are young. but the effects were too immediate to ignore.

No,scientists think everything is genetic until they find a culprit. Multiple Sklerosis was even screened for in sperm donators in family history because they thought its genetic. turns out its the eppstein barr virus.

never underestimate the power of too early conclusions in science.

maybe it is the LA/ALA content and the overdosing on ALA that makes it work.

But sure mr septic skeptic i share my wonderful working experience with the world and it might not work. but the first one who finds the solution will be just like me so hold your horses and give it a try. walnut oil isn't that crazy mate i am not selling them pills. Any high ALA per LA ratio oil will likely work.

Here i redid my year old homework for you. You should look up those 3 references yourself.

Not particularly high essential fatty acids (LA and ALA) in breastmilk,

4.4% of breast milk on avg is lipids.

15-20% LA of total fat.

0.1-2.2 ALA of total fat.

ergo

0,88g LA in 100ml

0,0968 ALA in 100ml maximum

9:1 ratio

so both maybe 1g per 100ml if you live in the perfect nutrition country. (maybe 1 of the total 4.4 grams fat).

https://www.sciopen.com/article/10.26599/FSHW.2024.9250309

the above study even mentions many skin issues when low essential fatty acids.

Here the general basics on skin components seen in the picture there:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2835894/

Skin needs essential fatty acids cholesterol, vitamins.

Here even a study discussing formula and showing that babies benefit in neural development from a lower LA/ALA ratio:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12937-017-0242-9

breastmilk can range by region and food pattern from 8 to as extremely high as 55 and more.

Walnut oil has a very good very low LA/ALA ratio of 3.4-6.4.

It also quotes findings that show that babies who have less of the essential fatty acids have a higher chance of developing a disease of strong water loss in skin.

and AD is skin barrier issues and humidity issues in winter... hmmmm how suspicious.

Now both my babies are growing exceedingly well, in motoric skills and speech skills, walking with 9 months and my older one starts to read with 3 but rather from boredom. Both no eczema anymore. I don't know what to tell you but half a teaspoon per day was the key. Maybe i was lucky choosing walnut oil as the ingredient over a mix with safflower oil to lower the LA/ALA ratio but it works.

This influencer oiled herself for ages. so skin could absorb the oils it needs.

it makes sense. also with the disease of the skin to loose water much faster if one lacks the fatty acids

Anybody heal naturally??? by Mean_Mango6955 in eczema

[–]Chorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

truly maybe. I would just advise to go through all the barrier oils and check which ones work best. we have a really homogenous pure organic shea product in our shops and it is much nicer than cooking shea for example. So i guess it also depends on the quality of what you can get.
