Chronic Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis) | From ndp77 [Log on to view profile] | on 2007-07-29 |

HI, i am a 30 year old male who is living with chronic Atopic Dermatitis and have had it all my life. I have also had asthma since childhood. For the past 3-4 years, my eczema has really gotten worse. Ironically, 3-4 years ago, i stopped using corticosteroid cream on a regular basis. I have been pretty much off steroid cream since then however, as stated earlier, my eczema has gotten so much worse. When i was younger, the eczema was never this bad. The areas that are affected the most are my face, neck and arms. To start off, i have dry eczema. My face, neck and arms are constantly dry and the skin has become rough and leathery. Not to mention, and moreso on my face (especially on my forehead and cheeks) and arms, i have open cuts that never seem to heal. I also have a rash in the form of tiny bumps and redness on my chest, stomach and inner thighs however not as bad. Also, the rash and scratching on my body has resulted in dark blemishes which also do not seem to go away. The biggest problem i have is that i am constantly itchy and it wont stop especially on my face and arms. Every early morning and evening i find myself scratching these areas heavily and causing it to bleed. As a result, my arms constantly have many open wounds and my face is constantly peeling and there is a crusty type feel on the surface. Also, when i scratch on my face, many time i excrete a clear, slightly yellowish sticky liquid. Some of the triggers are extreme heat( i get worse when i sweat), cold dry air, food allegies (spices, MSG, pretty much all fried and junk food, alcahol,ice cream,chocolate)
Also, i find myself more itchy in the evening and nighttime. I tend to feel better when i am in a hot shower. Presently, i am taking sulphur 9LM twice a day (4 pellets each time - total of 8 pellets a day) and 1 dosage (4pellets) of rhus tox in the evening however i do find that i am getting much relief. As well, i am taking zinc citrate tablets (50 mg) and vitamin e (400 i.u.)daily. Please, if anybody can provide some insight and suggest some remedies that might help me eliminate this condition permanently as i have had no luck in the past and am more often than not feeling depressed and losing hope. Thank You. |

To start with take Alumina 30 once a day for 2 weeks.
And if you have any stomach or liver problem or indigestion etc. or ever had.. Also take Lycopodium 6C thrice a day for at least a month. | | |

Alumina and lycopodium both are long acting medicines, and are never to be taken together.
Who suggested Sulphur LM potencies, and Rhustox to be taken together.
There is no hope for you with these mongrel therapies.
Consult a competent homeopath in person. Read the following link on how to know whether the man you are seeing is a good homeopath or not.

Thank You for the suggestions thus far...some important information that i forgot to mention before is that i reside in Toronto, Canada and i am allergic to dairy products (cheese, milk) and wheat as well. I also have a rash (although not as bad as my face or arms)on my hands and collar bone and behind my neck just at the top of the spine. Again on my face, i have a major rash (with open wounds) and peeling and redness on my forehead, cheeks, jaw line and ears. I have also started getting itchy and peeling on my eyebrows as well. Like i stated earlier, i feel better in hot showers but immediately after i come out, because of the damaged skin on my face, i feel a burning sensation / itchiness on my face and many times i cover my face with a hankerchief almost like a bandage. I also have a itchy scalp. Like i stated earlier, the itching is unbearable especially on my face, neck and arms. Once again, I hope this additional information will help in providing more of an insight and remedy suggestions as i would greatly appreciate any feedback.
Thank You. | This thread continues beneath the following ad.
