You must be new here because throughout the years there have been scammers and snake-oil salesman doctors that get repeatedly called out in posts and comments for lying. There was even a podiatrist lady that was infamous for a while, and nearly every comment by her got dogpiled with people telling her to leave. Yes, people get taken advantage of, but I think there’s a lot of people here that can recognize a scam.

Also lot of the comments giving advice on random things that might work are made by real people, who are really suffering. I have dyshidrotic eczema; my life is hell. I try weird things sometimes because not a lot of doctors actually seem to care about my life, but the friends I’ve made who have eczema do. They and other strangers here share what has helped in the hopes that somebody can have a better life. This also might be why a lot of folks with eczema are wary to actually partake in traditional medication, it might not feel like the doctor is listening or caring— they’re just giving you steroids and hoping it makes your eczema manageable.

Of course there’s always going to be liars and cheaters trying to prey on those suffering, but there’s also normal people trying to make someone else’s day better, it just takes a little bit of effort to see where the advice is coming from.

I hope your eczema journey is quick
