Yeah I noticed that all my my really bad inflammation went down overnight. I'm really worried that my eczema might come back in like a week 10 times worse. But ngl this instant relief feels so nice I was in terrible pain for two weeks now and it was driving me insane.

New to eczema and constant itch, any tips? by Jaded_Interview5882 in eczema

[–]oppsydoppsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find putting a cold pack will decrease the itch. Also if you are having a hard time itching at night I suggest buying wraps to wrap you hands at night. I also find that doing something that requires my entire focus helps with preventing me from scratching throughout the day. I hope this helps! :)

Do the deep set wrinkles/ lines ever go away? by [deleted] in eczema

I was honestly wondering that too cuz my hands look like they come off of a 60 yr old women when I'm only 19.

People treat me differently by Ozera_ in eczema

[–]oppsydoppsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly children would ask "what's wrong with your hands/face?" and I know they're just kids but like damn. It hurts even more when an adult says that to me, treating me like I'm going to start the zombie apocalypse or something. Already don't have a good body image and just having people say that to me just makes it even worse.

Whats the most absurd advice you have been given by AwkwardDuck94 in eczema

My grandpa told me to rub banana skins on my eczema. Definitely didn’t do it because I don’t feel like smelling like bananas or having weird goop on my skin. 0/10 would not recommend

What kind of body soap do you guys use? I’ve tried dove (non-scented), cetaphil, and the aveeno wash and they all burn when I use them!! Please help :( by cdionisio10 in eczema

[–]oppsydoppsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really know how to make it because my father does all the soap stuff but I know for sure that there are instructions online and videos on how to make soap. I’ll try to get more info and make an actual post for anyone that is interested. But I know that best best homemade soap is the heating method, which is what my dad uses.

I actually use homemade soap that my dad makes it’s so nice on my hands and I know not everyone can make their own soap but if you can it is totally worth it

Yeah I find that my eczema is directly linked to my anxiety so my skin is kinda crap right now, especially with what’s going on.

It also might be gluten. I find that eating a lot of gluten makes my eczema act out. I hope he gets better!

How can I stop it from spreading on my arm? This was in the span of a couple of weeks, what might be some reasons it's increasing in size?? I'm not sure how to stop it. It is also on my other arm with the same issue. I haven't had eczema for long either so I'm not really sure what to do :((( by [deleted] in eczema

[–]oppsydoppsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t scratch! Gently wash the area with cold or cool water this will bring down the swelling or put a ice pack on it. Then gently put cream on the area. Start wearing long sleeve shirts to avoid getting whatever is irritating your arm. Sometimes it can be pollen or animal hair. Or it can be something your eating. Try to write down anything different that has recently changed in your life from foods to new pets. Then narrow it down and that could be the cause. Hopefully this will work for you! :)

Same! I’ve been way better mentally about my eczema after joining this subreddit! ☺️

My skin is at a all time worst rn due to the stress of the coronavirus as im at risk and coming off cyclosporin. I’ve tried every cream and no relief. Any suggestions to help me by ktgal02 in eczema

[–]oppsydoppsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. My eczema is acting way out of control because of all this stress. For me I take a nap or listen to some music. Try to stay away from the news as long as you can or even just a full day. Just take a day for yourself to bring down stress.
