Does any1 have eczema?

Question

I have really tan skin, and i got eczema on my inner elbows. it went away, but now the pigment in my skin is gone?
any suggestions to rid the eczema and return my pigment?

i have also lost pigment in this area before, and the pigment has returned, i am guessing cuz i gott another tan?

Answer 1

did you use medicine on the affected area? some of the meds fade the skin. the color will return. until then try a little spray on tan in those areas if your eczema is cleared up. eczema is an allergy by the way. figure out what you are allergic to and you can eliminate future flare ups.

Answer 2

I had a girlfriend with eczema and we did a lot of experimenting to find out what helped. We learned a lot along the way. One thing we learned is that doctors have their heads buried on this one. A lot of it has to do with stress. We found that her eczema would worsen in stressful situations where she let "people get under her skin". I think that is actually where that phrase came from. Here's what we came up with. Use only dye and perfume free laundry detergent such as Arm & Hammer Free, or Tide Free. Take warm baths using Aveeno Oatmeal Bath. Chlorine in bath water is very bad for ezema, ideally, a carbon filter or water softener is the ticket. If neither of those are possible, you can run your bath water waaayyy too hot and some of the chlorine will gas off as it cools to a resonable temperature. Gold Bond Creme is fantastic for outbreaks and cuts the itching very quickly. Stay away from any topical cremes with cortizone, they are very very bad for you. Oral steroids are even worse for you. My mother is a doctor and she is very anti-steroids due to the numerous harsh side effects and lot's of docs dispensing it like candy. We never found that they made any difference anyway. We had the best luck with Aveeno and Goldbond products. Finding ways of removing stresses in your life or learning ways to allow them to affect you less will make a great big difference as well. I know that sounds weird, but people who have smothering parents tend to have high levels of asthma and people who let others get under their skin tend to have high levels of eczema. Good luck, you can beat it. I've seen it done.

I had eczema just a week ago. It was due to excess seafood and also the terrible weather. First of all you gotta stop getting in contact with stuff that could give you this allergies. Second of all gotta get away from the anything/events that will gives out sweat, meaning that it is best to keep yourself indoor til your skin return to normal condition.

Answer 4

One thing you should know is that eczema is NOT curable. I have it myself and had it for almost all my life and it's a pain in the a*s*s.

What I do is that every time I take a shower, I used this lotion from St. Ives. It works like a charm. Try to get the one for extra dry skin. The over the counter stuff never worked for me.

Answer 5

I have eczema in the same area. I doubt there's a way to return the pigment. It's scar tissue.

Just try to stay away from things that trigger your eczema, and moisture lots.

I have it on my face -.- It sucks!

Answer 6

I have eczema it comes and goes depending on the weather and my mood. You might want to see a dermatologist, they will be able to give you some info on what to do to help your skin.

Use natural herbs because if you don't keep your skin moise than it'll stay that color and you should try a little skin toner
