My eczema story..
Well I know that eczema can be a huge pain in the bum..
But all you have to do is , take a deep breath, read this and relax..
Well I first had eczema 2 years ago and I went to see a doctor but she didn't say it was such a thing...she gave me a cream named GENTAMICINA (in Italian) which I'm not so sure about the spellings.
After 3-4 times of application my eczema was vanished..and I thought that I was totally cured from the rash..
Well 2 years later...I came to Australia...thought everything was fine but suddenly a small spot of the back of my thigh started to itch...
I never thought that it could be the same rash that I got 2 years ago...I didn't even have a memory of it...
(Last time I got the rash on my nipple area)
Every night that spot on my leg started to itch and redden...after a few days I had the same kind of itchiness around my elbow..every time I controlled my self from scratching it.
I was careful enough to keep it away from my fingers which were craving to scratch them off...
I applied olive oil , baby cream , sandal wood turmeric powder and many other herbal stuff but nothing agreed or gave me a relief.
When things got worse and I got the same thing on my nipple area I started remembering that this thing had been in the past as well .
That was the point I thought I should see a doctor!
Well at first when I went to see the doctor he thought it was TINEA.its also something like eczema but different well he gave me a cream named HYDROZOLE and told me to apply it twice a day for 2 weeks and if it doesn't agree to come and see him again.thigs went fine but that cream kinda damaged my skin.the eczema vanished but as soon as I stopped using the cream I got it back.:(...
Ughhh...!!! What a pain in the bum !!! Errr
Well I didn't go back to him since I had to show my nipple area I thought of consulting a lady doctor.she said that this could be surely eczema and she referred me to a dermatologist.
Well when I went to the dermatologist she examined all the affected areas and gave me 2 types of ointments .
One named ADVATAN for the nipple area and one named ELCON for the other areas.
I was advised to wash my hands well after applying the cream to avoid rubbing it on my face or non affected areas.since it was a strong cream.
I was supposed to apply this 2 times a day for 2 weeks.
I did it so...and now my eczema is no where in my body !!!!!
There have never been such a feeling I have felt like this before !!!!
I'm soooo happy!!!
Well this is not all...just taking the treatment would not help you to chase away this skin rash..you have to always keep that area moistured!
I used to use Aveeno body wash but that Didn't agree to me .i felt like my eczema got worse for that.so I'm using Johnsons baby soap for the whole body.i use the sorbolene cream on my body mixed with some almond oil.to keep my skin more moistured.( I have a very dry skin specially during the winter)
I don't use sented creams on my body.i drink a lot of water.and I eat plenty of fruits
After a few weeks my eczema still didn't seem to vanish away...:(
This feeling is horrible...the almond oil treatment worked but not to say good bye for ever I guess...
This time I tried 2 different products..
Specially on the zones I had eczema and all over my body...
I will name both products now and I will attach some photos of them too...
The first is Palmer's cocoa butter formula with vitamin E ( moisturising body oil ) which was like 9-10 dollars.. I got it from Priceline.
And the other product is Swisse Body cream with vitamin D and Gotu Kola.
What I do is I have a good bath and pat dry my body and first apply the oil on my entire body , I also make sure that I apply the oil specially on my affected zones ...after a little bit of massaging I apply the body cream every where I applied the oil.
Before putting on my clothes I wait a while for the oil and cream to absorb...
I do this during the night just once a day before going to bed.because I find it convenient at this time.
After a week...OMG !! My eczema is now gone !
I don't have that irritating feeling anymore!
I feel so happy...but the dark patch is still there :( for the ointments I used..
But they are ganna fade away with time.i mix a little bit of olive oil with the vitamin E oil just to make sure that the scar will faden away with time..
This thing really worked on me ! I'm pretty sure this will help you guys out there too!
So I just wanted to share this with you guys !
I'm sorry for my english I'm not perfect in my english :(
I don't know wether this would be 100% effective on you guys ..giving it a try is totally up to you guys..
Please don't hesitate to put any comment as it would be a pleasure for me to read them !
Thank you so much guys
Love u all !
God bless <3
