aboss85 asked:


Its a serious problem and its only getting worse, i went to a dermatologist and got some cream no help there, then i went to wallgreens for some cortaid( friends said it worked)well it did’nt and i have no other place to go. My health is great I don’t eat junk food or anything like that, but this dang eczema won’t go away i even take fish oil capsules daily. This problem makes me crazy. How in the world do you cure this if i tried almost everything. I heard people cure it through health, but what does that mean? any remedies with immediate results? I just played basketball outside and i sweated a whole lot( i know sweat can be one of the causes) and in that short time my spots got bigger, so there has to be a way to have it subside just as fast as it grew on me. I would like to thank all of you that answer in a truly honest and helpful way Thank you
these spots are on my back and starting to grow on my face….

Dee B asked:


I work in the hospital as a nurse. I now use the powder-free gloves. For years,I had a chronic case of eczema to my right hand on only 2 particular spots. It itches and flakes up like crazy. I have seen the dermatologist and was given an ointment but the eczema is stubborn for years. Is there any homeopathic herbal or pharmaceutical topical medications recommended? Any other suggestions?

I have psoriasis on my legs and have seen a dermatologist who prescribed two expensive creams. They help a little but it never goes away. I’ve been tanning for a short time in a tanning bed every other day and have seen a drastic improvement but am a little worried about skin cancer from UVA rays. Any home remedies out there? Any advice?

Cassandra Goth asked:


I won’t be able to see my dermatologist until January, and my psoriasis is spreading. My cream has run out. I’m using T-Gel shampoo for my scalp. I don’t have anything for the psoriasis on my skin though. What is a good over the counter treatment that can keep it under control until January?
I’ve had psoriasis for a couple of years.
I used a topical medication from my dermatologist, but that ran out and she said she has to see me before I get another one prescribed.

Every day about 2 hours after I wake up I get a flare up on my hands, arms, legs, ankels, neck and chest and they seeming to get worse. Is this normal? I can’t get into my dermatologist for 2 weeks and none of my other doctors will touch the lupus issue. HELP!

Diamond asked:


I have eczema and was prescribe triamcinolone cream sort of like ( the thick Euricen cream). I used it for years and then the skin on my inner thighs and hips where I used the cream the most began to thin and wrinkle. My skin started to turn silvery-white and then darkened over the years. I went to a new dermatologist and he said that it was from using the cream too much and then prescribed me Elidel (that did not help) is this a common side effect and if so is there anything to reverse thinning of the skin? It looks as though I have strechmarks from far away until you get closer and see that my skin is actually very thin and wrinkled. So is this a common side effect? and how do I reverse the thinning of the skin I was thinking about get surgery to have the skin on my inner thighs removed but I don’t think this is possible being that I’m a very petite women and probably don’t have enough skin for the surgeon to stitch me back together.
I have been off the cream for 5 years and no longer take ANY medicine. I now only use 100% organic body creams and moisturizers.
