Drink a few cups of oolong tea (tea leaves or tea bags, not those bottled or canned ones) everyday, read that it can improve eczema conditions in just 1 week......

*** good quality tea leaves for maximum health benefits....
*** tea bags usually low quality stuffs inside..

Hi GenuineSeller,

I have been suffering from eczema since young and it went off during teenage years but came back again. I would like to try out water kefir to treat it. I saw that in a post that you're giving away some. May I know if its still available?


Thank you

hey people, i also got rashes and went to the polyclinic and the doc gave me this dermanol-c and a tube of aqurea moisturizing cream.

now i think i wanna stop using this dermanol-c steroid cream, i can see small stretch marks over the areas where i applied the cream.

anyone of u also experienced this before? is it reversible? my god if it's irreversible.

i've been applying this for 1 and a half weeks.

Hi!

My hubby works in the local gov hospital. We are in close contact with healthcare professionals. We learnt that since Dec’14, a team led by researchers at the US Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has proven that eczema is an immune-driven (autoimmune) disease. This means your immune system is over-reactive and mistakenly attacks skin cells.
That's why when steroids is used, there is instant relief, simply because steroids lower the immune system. But this is dangerous, as you need immune system to fight viruses and other diseases. Can't suppress too long. Morever, you can develop steriod addiction when higher and higher dosage is needed.
In US, there are organisations lobbying against usage of topical steroids.

Conclusion - Eczema is not a skin problem! Sadly modern medicine has no cure for autoimmune system problem and can only help you alleviate your symptoms by treating the skin.

that is true..

so apply what cream is useless imo.

Guys, is it necessary to use a sulphate free shower gel?

For example QV gentle wash has it.

live healthy, have peace of mind... should go a long way to cope with eczema. sometimes when there's improvement to the condition, you dont even know whether the oral or topical medications really work, or that your body process is just running its course unaffected.

many people actually know about eczema, either because they have it or because friends relatives etc are affected. they can empathise to some degree. but normally only those who have it personally are able to appreciate that it is an autoimmune disorder.

Dear all, recently on Friday I've found a total of 8 strange red itchy bumps on my legs tt resembles bed bug bites based on the linear pattern overnight..went to see a GP and he is unable to determine if it's indeed bed bug bites or eczema/allergy reaction..was given anti histamines and elomet cream..now the bites have become dark red and flat.Wonder if anyone has experienced anything like this before?
Would be grateful for any advice.

They look like these.Sorry I don't know how to embed the images.

Recently it seems like there are more and more cases of ppl experiencing better or recovery from eczema. Not sure if I shared any past experiences of mine here b4, if I did, this will be my latest update. A summary of myself first. This might be a long write, basically I had eczema since young like primary school p2 or p4. When I have more memory of eczema were poly army days. Basically im PES B, my case wasn’t bad. Just some patches on groin, face , arm… I can go outfield, training under the hot sun, fieldcamp wif mud rain water, touching aero grease.

But things start to worsen after I ord.. it start to flare up like every inch of me. Basically any parts of body u can think of , I have it. I have been actually visiting NSC since even when my case were mild, so if it can recover it will have already recover since it was mild. So the first time normally eczema ppl do is NSC or skin spec.. so I basically consumed quite a long time steroid since after I ord.. at least 2 to 3 yrs in my uni days.. after I grad im always looking for alternative other than western doc, as we know they can only give steroid or similar pill that suppress the condition.

Basically I have tried many many things/ways , from nsc to telok blangah tcm, emu oil, neem oil, dr wheatgrass , Egyptian cream and so on..,Now I wanna share 3 type of solution/ encounter that I went thru and I find it that my condition improving.

My first treatment in 2010– I will call it a half tcm and half western doc. I went for a talk by this doc in nus which he host a talk at, so he briefly go thru how he tackle eczema, basically is using herbs which he has been researching and formulated it into pill forms. He requires all his patient to go thru a process of quitting steroid for a mth including cream, before he start ur treatment.. so to cut short after 1yr I see improvement but its really slow process .. since I see improvement I continued till 2013. Till then I really feel good , just nice my first reservist 3wks, as a technician, need to work under the sun and sometime work under the sun as no vehicle to fetch.. jus as I finish my reservist, to my horror the eczema flare back.. which is quite a serious flare back, so serious that I even quite my job as my boss don allow unpaid leave for long period. So then I know I need to restart the healing process again just becos of the stupid sun… same treatment I go thru till 2014.



2014, my second effective treatment, jus happen to got the chances of doing allergy test by a shop, he did a series of test on the spot and use a machine to measure and u can get a result of common items we ppl handle often and might be allergy of. For some reason I gave up my first treatment which I forgot why and tried this new treatment. Their treatment is basically pumping electrical signal n freq into u and “calibrate” ur body. Recommended minimum 2 treatment a wk, a treatment cost ard 2k for 10 treatment which is on promo price which I got from groupon. Without pill just the treatment I experienced my eczema getting better.. so after that package I took up another package will my little saving. But after the second package, I have to give up as Im left with little saving cannot afford it anymore. Then I went on without any treatment till my bro bought me some pills from msia which is very effective. But recently appeared on news as in contain steroid. I ate that from 2015 till 2016 for a year plus. I did a blood test at NTFGH late 2015, it say everything ok.. so I assume till now my organs are still fine..



Till lately 2016, I happen to get to know this fren of mine selling supplement. He had a couple of client who also have eczema and also on healing process after consuming his product. Base on the photo of his client, none are as bad as mine. So I went to take up his product.. I did have some flare back after consuming his product and this was also warn by him earlier on before I took it so that I will not think that the product only worsen my condition. during flare back, I experienced my skin more itchy but this only last like a week.. after that the itch isn’t that terrible anymore.. but still skin will still itch. As for now consuming the supplement for 4mths, currently I feel this is the most effective and fastest result. Looking forward to full recovery now. If any1 is keen in the method above can msg me at 96683708, from there I will answer your doubt with my best knowledge.
