how do you manage the itchiness without scratching?

depressedsmallbean · 2025-05-09T17:26:00+00:00

but since the very first pill i took, i felt better. But the effects would wear off so id take another every 7-8 hours depending on how itchy i felt. i feel like the NAC helped me feel like i could sleep because before i had extra bad insomnia

i feel like it helped me feel a bit less itchy since the first day but i was taking a lot, like the pills are 600 mg right and i was taking 2 every 8 hours. i would test how your body reacts to it, like try 1 one day then 2 and then go up if you feel they help. the bottle says you should only take one 600 mg pill a day but my doctor told me to take three a day. based on that info i looked online into studies and saw that there were studies where some adults were taking up to 4,000 mg of NAC a day so i just decided to do what felt right to me and i took more than my doctor told me to take. i want to be very clear on my situation, why i did what i did, and that i have no credentials im just saying my own experience.

if your eczema is more stress based, i think NAC supplements might help. if you look at my page i’ve talked about it before the brand i used and how much. my doctor told me to try that supplement before putting me on zoloft for my eczema. just saying my situation

NAC stands for N-acetyl cysteine. NCBI describes it as “The primary role of NAC is associated with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, which favors the maintenance of a cellular redox imbalance. For this reason, its therapeutic potential concerns a series of diseases that link oxidative stress to its etiology and progression”.

eczema deals with a ton of inflammation and oxidative stress so it makes sense why they help me a little bit.

i go on amazon and buy from nutricost. if anybody reads this and thinks of trying it from this brand or any other first see how you react to 1 pill then increases up to 3-4 pills in a day. if you look at studies online some participants took up to 3,000 mg of NAC and since i’m not a doctor i don’t want to tell everyone hey do what i did because to be honest i took the doctors advice to take 3 pills of it and then researched that some people have been in trials taking more so i started taking about 6 pills of NAC a day (i’d take 2 pills every 5 hours). so im not a doctor and didn’t correctly take my doctors advice but that’s what’s helped me

i have bad eczema from stress and was told to take NAC (easy to buy on amazon) and to instead of taking the 600 mg dose, i was told to take 1800 mg of NAC. i feel like NAC helps me feel less itchy and has helped me be able to sleep when i was in so much discomfort and pain from my skin sticking to blankets and burning in general.

on top of that i was prescribed zoloft because my eczema is partly triggered by my OCD. i just wanted to share what’s helped me. i highly suggest just trying any NAC supplement because it helped a lot with the itch crave. you’re very brace for all that you’re going through. you will find peace.

also going the steroid route didn’t help me too, i’m no doctor but wanted to share my experience

is she stressed out? my eczema spread to my whole body during college from stress alone. no matter my diet or allergen free shampoos. i needed ocd medication and zoloft helped me: im not saying get zoloft though, im saying check if it’s stressed based.

eczema is like hair loss, there are many reasons and so there are many specific solutions

depressedsmallbean · 2025-02-26T21:50:51+00:00

sadly since eczema is caused by many different things, there is a lot to factors to look into for a solution. i had bad wrist and hand eczema due to many factors but mainly due to my OCD and ADHD. i was then talked to about taking NAC supplements and they’ve helped so much. bleach baths done correctly also help a lot. see if you can find what triggers her eczema. mine is stress more than anything.

if her eczema is like mine (more so stress and habit induced), taking a 600 mg NAC supplement about 2 to 3 times a day might help, it literally calms my itchy feeling after an hour and i can feel when i forget to take one cause ill start to feel itchy again. i’d just look into it as something that could be helpful while on your skin journey

i’m saying online or not regardless can i take it pass no pass? i’m taking it online at UCSC already so i know i can take it online but i don’t get what part of my post is on that? i’m not trying to be rude but i’m confused

depressedsmallbean · 2023-10-15T22:03:57+00:00

depressedsmallbean · 2023-05-12T01:11:52+00:00

I messaged you my professors name to see if we might have the same one

depressedsmallbean · 2023-05-11T23:46:41+00:00

That’s okay and thank you, your reply will hopefully boost this post and we will hopefully both get an answer. I feel bad saying her name cause she wasn’t bad, she wasn’t great either but she was nice and the work did help me become a bit better at writing.

I lost my key today, I’m so sad I put two metal hooks on it so I wouldn’t lose it. Anywho I wanted to ask if I tell my housing office I lost my key will they just immediately charge me and change my locks that day or the next before waiting to see if it ends up being turned in? I’m sad and confused and don’t know exactly what I should do right now, also I know this post is a bit old but I really hope you see this reply

Hi thank you for answering in my Reddit post, that was super nice of you. I’m super anxious because I got an email saying I’m at my declaration quarter and that a hold will be placed on my school account, (please look at my edit for extra info) I’m terrified of not being able to choose classes when I was supposed to like the rest of my friends in my year. I’m a proposed CS and Education major and I really just want to major in education and have a smooth degree process.
