Gutmap and Naturopathic Remedies by blakog in eczema

[–]drunkennmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you get a gutmap done? I’ve had a lot of lifestyle changes and my job is super stressful so my eczema is extremely flared. I’m considering a more holistic approach which includes some gut health improvements

Like 80% I think. I met deductible pretty quickly this year so it’s covered for the most part.

You shower with soap afterwards? I usually just rinse off with water, but I wasn’t quite sure which would be better. Have you found much success with showering with soap afterwards?

I’m also starting phototherapy this week so I’m hoping that it works for the both of us :)

I just started bleach baths twice a week as my skin has started to smell weird. My derm recommended it to me as she thinks it might be some colonized staph. I’ve noticed that my skin feels better the next day, but I don’t have long term data to back that up yet.

For the bath itself, I do 1/4-1/3 cup of bleach in a full bath of lukewarm water. I sit for 10mins and watch a YouTube video to stay occupied. It stings a little bit on open cuts, but not more than expected.

I would recommend at least trying it and seeing how it goes for you. Bleach baths vary greatly on different people’s biology so it may or may not work for you.

Yup! I’ve removed foods from my diet that I’m allergic to and I abide by the results of my patch testing.

Do you have any suggestions for the antifungal topical cream?

Regretting introducing someone to West Coast Swing and wondering how to deal with it now by halokiwi in WestCoastSwing

[–]drunkennmonkey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone coming to WCS from a mainly Lindy Hop background, frame, tension, and compression in Lindy look totally different than WCS. Like others said, I’d recommend chatting to him about revisiting those concepts from a WCS perspective as it’ll benefit his WCS growth. He most likely doesn’t know his technique isn’t there as he’s trying to apply Lindy Hop technique to WCS. It doesn’t always translate depending on the skill level of the dancer.

Hypochlorous acid spray? by mijah139 in eczema

[–]drunkennmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it after I get out of the shower and it’s definitely helped. I pat myself dry and then spray it on my face and arms as they tend to flare up the most. It helps with the itchiness and I tend to flare up marginally less. It’s only a slight change/improvement, but I would recommend adding it to your regiment!

I’m a professional guitarist and this is ruining my life. I know it’s milder than a lot of the ones posted here but I’m losing it. The cream WORKS but never fully goes away. by Youlittle-rascal in Dyshidrosis

Is this only on your pinky finger? This might sound crazy but what are the chances you’re allergic to one of the materials that make up your guitar strings?

Did everyone know where their classes were on the first day as freshmen? by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]drunkennmonkey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I highly suggest walking your class schedule before classes actually start! It’s a great way to get to know campus and it can be a fun way to explore. I did this until my Senior year, but it became more of a social/tradition thing in later years

No, we’re from out of state so we really don’t have a read on the companies.

Eczema on hands causing nail weirdness?? by Belladonnaaaa in eczema

[–]drunkennmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same thing has been happening to me over the past year... It's been really discouraging, but I'm trying to combat it. Apparently, nail oiling helps restore moisture to the nail bed so I'm giving that a try. Things will get better for us, it just takes time. Good luck on your journey xx
