Do you all skin turn red or rashes come out after 1 week not using Steroid cream or some time just 3 days not using ?

No use, it's like red rashes all over and some moisturiser will irritate

Use what the Dr prescribed.

Read the leaflet on use and precautions. Normally cannot suddenly stop steroid.

After 5 mins, apply moisturizer.

Nowadays, the skin on my hands are very dry and somewhat flaky from the regular hand washing and I think also from the use of hand alcoholic sanitizers..:( Anyone having similar issues?

Just wanna share about my experience with Dr Yang and Yap as well.

I've suffered from eczema for about 10 years now (upgraded to severe eczema since 5-6 years ago after it blew up during NS) and I've tried many different treatments. I've visited atas specialists in Paragon and less atas ones at NSC and CGH. I've tried gluten free, meat free, seafood free, fried food free, spicy food free diets. I've taken health supplements and tried eating more collagen. I've also tried a couple TCMs and for a period even brewed and drank a damn disgusting mix of dead bats and other herbs.

Then I decided to do my own research (last time always go for recommendations from friends and family) and then I saw this comment, which spoke to me because I had pus around my feet and sometimes face. Went to book an appointment and started using the herbal bath. Lo and behold, within 3-5 days I saw HUGE improvements to my skin. Pus dried up, significantly less flaky skin, and physically and mentally I felt so much more confident. My bed and floor is no longer scattered with piles of dead skin (still got a tiny bit but no where near as much as before).

I started his treatment since August, and now I am only using his creams daily and his herbal baths every other day. I now have quite bad acne though, perhaps from my skin generating oil again...I will need to seek treatment elsewhere for that but this is seriously a small price to pay for the improvements to my eczema.

One thing to note, his treatment is very very expensive. Damage in the first 2 months of consultation was around $3k or more if I remember correctly. But really no regrets. Now I can sweat without itching and scratching like mad. Also started wearing short sleeves again. If anyone considering, can just get the herbal baths and try first, that will cost only around $50-100.

I can share my experience with Dr.Yang as well. My 1st treatment was abt $1k and 2nd treatment was about $500 for 30 days medication. His medication mostly is supplement which is good for your skin and overall health. For me it is his formulated cream and herbal bath is the one the effective to control the **** and itchiness. For me now I go back to get his cream and supplement i buy online. Herbal bath will take occasionally especially as i am not use to bathing w/o soap (but that is just me).

I agreed that his treatment is expensive but for sure it is effective. His cream does not contain steroid (or more likely it has very very mild steroid) but better than using standard steroid cream.. I do recommend this dr for those seeking eczema solution.

try vitamin D3, borage oil (all can be purchased from iherb.), lotsa moisturizer after shower, esp if you sleep with aircon on.

personally, i think the supplements did the trick and a slight change of diet, more greens less sugar less meat.

this method works for me and hopefully it will work for you too but PLEASE READ UP MORE about the supplements, check with your doctor if necessary before taking it.

all the best!

Eczema has everything to do with soap. I swapped over to this bar soap and most of the stubborn spots disappeared.
