~Neurodermatitis?~

Not near so bad, but there is a history of excema in our family. I usually get it on my hands and use some sort of avon therapy cream to get rid of it.

I find the dermashield helps alot, http://www.dermashield.co.uk/eczema.htm it is safe enough to use for baby nappy rash! lol I found it helped with the itching but you got to resist itching for it to help too, its got aloe vera in it so thats soothing on your skin. I would definatly recommend it 100% more than any other creams I've used including the ones my doctor gave me and it doesnt leave your skin feeling greasy

I've have problems with eczema on my eye lids. At first it came and went, but now it is pretty much chronic. Because of this I don't wear any eye makeup and generally don't wear any makeup at all unless I am going out of the house.

I use Cortaid when it bothers me but because it is on and around my eyes, I have to be very careful not to get it into my eye.

I'm so sorry to hear that.
I'm a bad case of Dermatitis Atopica, another name for the same illness, got it for more than ten years already.

The bad news is that is no cure ,the good news is that you can do a lot to *try* to keep your dermatitis under control.

Do you know what causes it to you? Mine is my IgE levels are over the moon.

I'm willing to switch information with you. I have been trhough so much that I'll be more than happy if I can help you easy your pain.

You can post here or PM.

Thanks so much, Anna. I can't believe you have had this for ten years!! How can you stand it?
I don't know what caused the flareup I had. The doctor told me it was caused by stress mostly.
What is IgE?
I would be very interested to hear your story about this. Right now, it seems to have cleared up with the meds the doctor gave me. I still have telltale syptoms occasionally. My Mom has had it for awhile and she would be so very happy to hear about some of the things you've done to control it.

Thanks again and I hope you'll get some relief soon.
