Hi Julie!
I have a few suggestions for you. First, I would say that if your eczema has gotten worst, take a look at the last few months. Eating anything different, more of one thing or another? Have yoiu changed your cosmetics or face soap or moisturizers?
I would say that you definetly need to detoxify, and then find out what it is in your diet that is making your body act out.
I have a few suggestions. The first would be Far-Infrared sauna treatments. I see many people at my clinic who suffer from severe excema and psoriasis. These treatments really work for them. If you had someone in your area, maybe a DR's office, or P.T. office thta might have one, you could do them there, or you can also purchase one. Go to www.SpokaneTherapy.com, it will tell you all about the therapy, and give you links to different Far-Infrared Sauna Companies. If you think you might be interested, contact me directly after viewing the sites, because I have the clinic I get the lowest rates from the sauna companies I deal with.
My next suggestion is to go to www.abchomeopathic.com they have a self test that will guide you through which homeopathic would be best for you. The goal is to choose only one medicine, use it for 5-15 days, then wait. If symptoms get worse, or remain the same, then tey another. I am not sure if you have ever use homeopathivs before, but there are no side effects, they can't hurt you. It is based on the Like-attracks-Like theory.
I also recommend that you do an internal detox (don't do this while on the homeopathics). My favorite brand is M'lis, they don't sell it in the stores, but can order it for you, or you can always buy an herbal detox kit from the health food store too!!!
Let me know if I can be of help. Best of luck---Jessica

Hi all
I went to a standard dermatologist today for my increasing eczema around my
eyes. He gave me samples for a light hydrocortisone cream called Dermatop
Ointment. It has: 1.0mg prednicarbate in a base of white petrolatum,
octyldodecanol, glyceryl oleate, propylene glycol, citric acid and propyl
gallate. He wants me to use it no more than 2 weeks.
He also gave me an OTC moisturizer: Aquaphor Healing Ointment from Eucerin.
It has: petrolatum, mineral oil, ceresin, lanolin alcohol, panthenol,
glycerin, bisabolol. I am allergic to wool so I don't know if the lanolin
would affect me....
He also recommend whole milk and water compresses for the fat content to
moisturize the area. I am allergic to milk so he said forget it. I am
wondering if avocado could do the same. I have used avocado recently on my
eyes and did not react to it...so I am wondering if I should try that
instead of the OTC moisturizer.
Any advice? Thanks Julie
