Skin care weblog

Hi this is Karen -
I’ve been a member for a while; always reading stories that remind me of where
I’ve been and how lucky I am to have found the right mix of antioxidants,
vitamins and topical natural creams that preserve the vitamins to absorb through
the epidermis to the dermis where the real healing and new cell growth occurs.

Please be careful what you put on your skin; it is the largest organ and we
absorb everything that is put on our skin - including harsh chemicals in
traditional soaps etc.

I use laundry and body products WITHOUT formaldehyde, phenols, phosphate,
chlorine, amonia, bleach, lye, etc. It is imperative for continued skin health.

Hi all ~

This is my first post to this group. I want to share my experience with a
product that I
have begun using to treat my eczema. A sample of Spring Wind ointment was given
to me
by my acupuncturist, and when it ran out, I ordered the 2 oz. container from
their website
(springwind.com). The formula is based on traditional Chinese herbal medicine.

For the record, I have no financial interest in the company, but just want to
get this
information out to others who suffer with eczema. The ointment is red in color
& has a
mild scent. It’s rather greasy, but the ingredients are all-natural and it does

I’m 13 and dermatologists have been telling me that there’s no real
cure for eczema. They told me I would just forget about it. Has anyone
really forgotten about it?

Hi Everyone!

I have just found this group and thought i would join and post a quick
introduction of myself!

I’m a 23 year old female and i have chronic eczema. I had slight
eczema when i was younger but got it from head to toe when i was 15.
It took the doctors ages to finally refer me to a dermatologist and i
was constantly given antibiotic after antibiotic and steroid creams. I
really sympathise with you all as i went through a lot of pain and
discomfort and the itching drives you mad.

I’ve been hospitalised twice in the last 2 years as the eczema was
really bad and i was bandaged from head to foot coated in steroid
creams and lotions given antibiotics and rehydrated. I really

I am 34 years old and I have had Eczema as far back as I can
remember. It started to really become noticable when I was 15. In
the last couple years it is to the point where I am on prednisone
DAILY because of it.

A couple years ago while reading a homepathic book I took a test to
see if I had Candida signs.. According to tis test if you score
above a 68 it is likely I scored an 88.

I went to several Doctors to find out what I can do. Not one has
been able to tell me anything. I have had a colonoscopy with
biopsies to see if there was any present in my colon. I went to a
urologist and he looked at me like I was loosing it and told me I
need to go to a dermatologist.

For two years now I have had dry itchy flaking patches of skin on my
body. When I scratch the dry skin off the skin underneath is pink or
red. My son started off with it on his elbow. After he got rid of
it
I got it. It started off on my elbows then my knees and on the sides
of my calves. It had gotten so bad that for two years now I have not
worn shorts. I believe with all my heart that it is not Psoriasis.
Psoriasis is not contagious! The doctor who looked me over and
examined my skin ended up getting it too! She ended up using
medication right away to stop the spread. So after going to many
dermatologists they say it is dermatitis. After trying many drugs to
cure this, I have finally found something to get rid of most of
patches. All of the patches on my calves have gone away. I still
have
to apply meds on my elbows and one knee but it is slowly going away

Just wondering how Light Therapy works? I read an old email stating after
several sessions, her eczema cleared for 2yrs??!!

Also, sweating out the toxins is great….is the sauna good for this also?
