Hello new to the list, stumbled by accident to find your list whilelooking for
something else but glad I did as my Husband has the skinproblems and it is very
mysterious indded.He started in January with a infection on his rt leg and we
went tothe dr and was treated like a infection. Well aweek later one day hebroke
out in tiny red bumps where every pore was on his two legs soto Dermatolgy we
went.They unibooted his legfor a week and it got better,but did not get in the
tub for that weekso when we got home that day he got a bath and here he got
patches ofa rash all over ……..so then I was narrowing down
thesoap,shampoo,even the wash cloths to think of what could be causingthis.It
seems it gets ok til he takes a bath.so we switched to lukewarm ones.this week
at the dr’s she said it wasDRY skin, has to keep using the ointment she gave
and keepmoisturized.I say WHY all of a sudden???something is not right here.His
podiatrist said it looked like a fungus yet the dermatologisttook a scraping to
check and said it was not a fungus.WE are at odds about this as he never had
this before and whattriggared it is beyond me and it comes and goes in
patches….I’d like to try to find something he could take internally toperhaps
is what is lacking in his diet as per say why did he getthis???WEll thanks for
listening.more next timeTIna

HI Karen
Good to hear from you.
The Dermatologist insists he not use SOAP!
This is a mysterious thing as the last place he got it was his hands and
he is a constant hand washer and also washes our dishes by hand yet he
has had a very few outbreaks on his hands.
I would try the soap and let you know how it works.
THe worst this rash gets is after a bath,and now he is using samples
the dr gave as instead of soap.
I am thinking if it is dry skin perhaps a Vitamin E supplement.
He does take other medicines and I guess is why I hate to get into that
cause of interactions.
even at first I thought it was a herbal shampoo I had bought that may
have cause it to begin with but I tested it straight on his skin and no
reaction.
Thank you for responding.

I am a newbie to this list and would like any/all input on cures thru
natural remedies for eczema.
I juice regularly and take herbs/vitamins.
My case is not severe..foreram and hands lightly but still embrassing..
Everyone suggests using lotion with cortison but I believe in natural ways
of healing the body’s problems.
Thx,
Phil.
I have been involved with this opportunity for about a year now and I am
making almost $1,000 per month from it.
Ask me for ideas.
I have lots of them for you to use.

Send me you address and I will send you a bar of jewelweed soap, it has
worked on many rashes and I would like some people to try it and tell me how
it works.
Thanks,

Christine,
Welcome,
what is Enbrel? I haven’t heard of it. I’m 31, had Eczema since college and
I am originally from NY. I’ve been in FL for exactly a year now. Very
interesting similarities…
Take Care!

Hi Sue thank you.
It is an injection that you inject yourself twice a weak. It is used for
arthritis but it does help with the skin. I’m able to get pedicures and
manicures again..YEAH!!!
It has cleared up about 25% but I’m still hoping for a miracle…Aren’t we
all :o)
Talk to ya soon

Hi,
Is anyone on A.C.E. supplements? Just wondering. I’m on it now, and I
wouldn’t mind some feedback if anyone knows about A.C.E. (basically
vitamins).
By the way, a few months ago I posted an email about my experience with
oral steroids. While my eczema cleared up instantly, it did return after
that, although not as bad.
