Hi all eczema sufferers
First time saw an informative thread about eczema here. It can be helpful if appropriate help is posted here, but i see some disturbing comments which i think might be of harm than help. And i felt like giving some more info if it hasnt been given.
I might not be right, i did not scroll through the whole thread, but i wish TS would rethink posting some of the member's "tips" here.
1.Oral trush (candida) seems to have a link with Eczema too.
If im not wrong its because of infection, forgot its parasite or fungus. Normally associated with low immunity patients. (candida albicans & aids?)
2.maggoth has recommended using hair driers on the itchy part to stop the itch~
Yes it stops the itch, yes its damn shiok. And normally yes it worsen the condition. Instead of using heat treatment, one should take cold showers to prevent aggravating eczema.
3. CanT_Make_IT has recommended swimming to help with the eczema spread~
Swimming pool contains chlorine
++ mentioned about white spots. Didnt know theres white eczema, talking about white spots as in fungus infection? there is a difference.
Yes yes the TS put disclaimer say follow at your own risk, but i strongly feel that some comments should be corrected or eliminated. Some tips for mild eczema are
-cold showers
-moisterize
-soaps for sensitive skin
-no air-con
-exercise and sweat
-change pillowcase/bedsheets regularly
-cold showers x2
-hydrocortisone cream for affected areas + moisteriser later
-no allergenic food.
-eat fish oil
