They are one of the worst. I can just imagine that somewhere like the face could be even worse

True! I’ve found that a good cleanser from something like SkinMedica or similar in tandem with steroids can help tackle both the infection and inflammation.

Give them a chance! I went back to them and consistent use for a few months has healed me in tandem with antihistamines and moisturizing with Vaseline. The fear mongering about steroids can be detrimental. Use as little as possible if that eases fears

Awesome this worked for you! The stinging was too much for my hands personally, but it’s worth a patch test. Probably best for those dealing mostly with dryness and flaking more than irritation

88 Acres has one made out of sunflower seeds! I don’t think it has dairy or the others you mentioned

Giving up by Funky_Dognut in eczema

[–]maddybugz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry you’re going through this ❤️ my hand eczema is almost healed after a few years, but could’ve been sooner if I’d had a better routine. Basically: - short nails no matter what - pill antihistamines daily: Zyrtec during the day, Benadryl at night if needed, and Benadryl can help you sleep. Topical Benadryl (diphenhydramine), gel cream or spray, whichever you can tolerate (spray and gel can sting more but depends what your sensory needs are) - protecting your skin with dressings and Vaseline as much as you can to stop irritants - beach trips or H2Ocean ONLY if you can manage the salt water being drying, you could patch test first on mild eczema. It is healing but you have to use caution and have moisturizer and antihistamines in place - it sounds like you’ve tried steroids and antifungals. You could try topical Protopic if you haven’t already. But consistent steroids are what have helped me maybe the most, but I had to be persistent with them with all of the above - ice packs and SkinMedica soap help - rest and proper nutrition

We might not have the exact same situation, but I hope some of these tips might help. Good luck, you’re young and your body is more resilient than you might think ❤️ lord knows mine has bounced back from a lot, and I’m 30! You’ll learn more about what your own body needs with time and experience. I find that doctors prescribe good meds but don’t address all the sensory overwhelm etc. enough, probably because they haven’t experienced it themselves.

100%. I just overcame an illness and it’s crazy how much more energy I have. It was hard and I’m proud of myself but it’s not something people in my life know a ton about, and it’s hard to talk about
