10 tips to HEAL YOUR ECZEMA| Dr Dray

[@SantoTapatio]

I’m here because my girlfriend has said “I hate my skin” as she itches uncontrollably with tears in her eyes and I can tell it is a constant for her and I’m doing my best to finding some options for solutions to help her feel okay. Thank you for the options you’ve given. ❤

[@moonflowersenna]

I have struggled with eczema since BIRTH... My derm said i will never get rid of it, just make it less bad. Here are things that helped my skin get a lot better: 1. Don't cleanse your face in the morning since you already wake up with dried out skin. Just rinse with lukewarm water and put on a moisturizer and sunscreen. 2. As Dr Dray already mentioned, keep your skincare routine at a BARE MINIMUM. I know this is hard for skin care enthousiasts but since our skinbarrier is compromised, using a lot of products can really aggrevate your skin. Also, exfoliate the skin only once a week AT MAX with a gentle exfoliant like 2-5% lactic acid or urea. Since i cut down my skin care routine to only cleansing (evening), a hydrating serum (evening) and moisturizer (and SPF in the morning), my skin is less aggrevated. 3. Use a very gentle face cleanser like the La roche Posay Toleraine cleanser. 4. Cut out fragrance in your skin care. 5. For the body, use a very gentle soap-free, fragrance-free body wash like the Eucerin body washes or use shower oils and only wash your armpits with a gentle body wash. 6. Use a thick body cream everyday after showering. The Eucerin Urea body cream saved my life. I heard it's not available in the US but you can order it on European online farmacies that ship worldwide like Vicnic 7. Take fish-oil supplements (Omega-3). The fatty acids help your skin retain moisture. 8. Get a hydrocortisone cream from your derm to use on itching areas. 9. Make-up can have irritating ingredients so if you want to use make-up, search for products that are really eczema friendly. I use the NYX Bare with me Tinted skin veil. Guys, the ingredientlist is basically a moisturizer!! It has been soooo gentle on my skin, i really recommend it. No fragrance, no drying alcohols, EU-allergen free and it has some soothing ingredients like cucumber extract and aloe. 10. I know everyone in the skin care community HATES coconut oil, but for us people with severe eczema DON'T BE AFRAID TO USE IT. When the eczema on my face gets really bad, i use a layer of coconut oil on my face after moisturizer in the evening. It really really helps with softening the dry patches and itching. I stopped using coconut oil because of skinfluencers online, and my eczema got really bad for a while. I went back to using it and my skin got a lot better. So don't be afraid to use it if you have really dry skin!! I hope this will help someone

My 3 yr old has struggled with eczema since birth. Some of my personal tips for your kiddos: •100% cotton pajamas worn INSIDE OUT (the seams can be irritating!) •Invest in special eczema clothing - pull on sleeves that cover the limbs completely (or just the joints.) Having that extra layer on the itchiest spots helps protect while scratching. Shirts with fold over mittens were a lifesaver overnight, when my little one's eczema was at it's worst at age 1. •Try not to use anything on yourself that could irritate your child. Our entire family now only uses fragrance free products. •Huggies special delivery diapers are THE SOFTEST diapers in existence. •Zyrtec - if your doctor says it is safe. In my skin care arsenal: Aveeno eczema therapy cream Cerave eczema creamy oil Cerave healing ointment Exederm flare cream Aveeno baby eczema cleanser Vanicream shampoo and conditioner Organic jojoba oil Colloidal oatmeal (for bath) I also have topical steroid treatment from his derm, but only use it sparingly for flare ups. I was apprehensive to use steroids and wish I'd tried it sooner. Good luck to those that are struggling!

[@VivaLaDecadence]

These are great tips! As an adult with eczema (on and off since childhood), I would also like to recommend: -Desert Essence fragrance free shampoo (it actually cleans the scalp! A problem I find with truly fragrance free shampoos is they don't clean well or have other unpleasant quirks. I find the vanicream free & clear shampoo to be oddly sticky) -Acure Seriously Soothing Lotion. I could not believe that this lotion actually helped to HEAL my eczema outbreaks when used for a few days, 2-3x per day--Usually lotion is more preventative or just helps keep patches from getting any worse. I use this lotion as a first line of treatment for mild to moderate patches of eczema before resorting to steroid cream. -First Aid Beauty Ultra Healing lotion also helped in a similar way to the Acure lotion, but it is more expensive -fragrance free laundry detergent and dryer sheets (if you use the latter at all--I had a derm tell me dryer sheets leave crystals on garments and inside the laundry machines that can agitate eczema), or unscented dryer balls. I got overconfident after having no eczema outbreaks for several years and started using scented detergent... big mistake. It triggered the worst flare I've had as an adult

[@saltrivercrafts]

Thank you so much. My son went to his 2 year check up yesterday. Before we went I saw what looked like eczema his doctor confirmed that it was.

Doctor, I left a comment about 3 months ago, and wanted to update you. My eczema seems to have healed. I think that the credit goes applying moisturizer after showering, while the skin was still moist. I kept applying until the moisturizer dried up as a thick dry layer, so that it would strengthen my skin. This layer helped dry flakey skin to stay on, which helped the skin to stay stronger. I'm so relieved. Also, I washed my thin skin very carefully to avoid washing away loose skin. I noticed that my legs don't seem to swell as much. All of my ideas were inspired by videos from you and other content creators. Thank you so much!

I tried so many things, but it just kept getting worse until I found CeraVe, which helped tremendously with the itching, but not with the cure. I saw an ad for Dupixent injectable pens. By this time it had covered close to 40% of my body, mostly my lower legs and back, plus some on my arms. I had never been more miserable, so finally I consulted a local Dermatologist. She prescribed Dupixent, and after 20 bi-weekly injections, I'm 99% eczema free. People like you are a Godsend. Keep up the great work. If it ever comes back, I'll give Aveeno a try first.

Wow. This full information was so helpful. I literally checked off so many boxes on this lost I made of issues I have that are directly related to leading to my eczema, well, what I thought was eczema and didn't know, but now I do cuz everything checks off, I mean from the chlorine water, dust in the vents, itching and stretching the skin around my fingers uuugh and toes!! And just everything else you mentioned is my issue around the eczema leading to it! And towards the end of the video you meantioned not letting my dog in the bed.. That is so so hard so I just folded up his own blanket and took another and twisted it around the folded blanket so he has like a doggy nest lol and now he will only stay in that area and not touch my blankets for the absolute most part!.. Plus, I did realize that my dog made me itch every time we played or whatever and I never noticed it till you said something Xi thought about it, and now I can't be ignoring it anymore since it worsens the eczema, but yeah that's a hard one with the pets lol.. Anyway thank you so much!! Very helpful!!... BTW you mentions using certain lotions. I tried them and they don't work. Not for me.. So idk what to do besides see a doctor and prevent all the things you mentioned which most were on my home-made list of things that I have found irritate me and make me stretch n itch my skin!!...

I've had issues with eczema for most of my life. I find that three things have helped a lot. 1) I avoid any sort of synthetic fabric. I only wear cotton, silk, viscose, rayon, modal, soft linen, etc. I react to synthetics so quickly that 90% I can test whether a fabric is synthetic just by touching it :-) I also usually avoid wool, but I do own a couple soft 100% merino wool tops that are great in the winter and feel comfortable (so I think it's really about the thinness of the thread). 2) When flairs are really bad (or even when they just start), I buy a huge amount of oats, I grind them in the coffee grinder, and I sprinkle loads (about 2-3 cups) in the bath. This helps me a lot. 3) Ever since I started using an air purifier, I've noticed a huge reduction in the frequency of my flair-ups. I highly recommend it.

[@ravenmasque7156]

When my daughter was small I used to cry each time we bathed her knowing she was about to scream and cry because it burned. (Learned she could not use any soap the hard way. She only had oatmeal baths, rinsed her off, slathered on Vaseline, then patted her dry. It was the only thing she didn’t scream for.) Household cleanser: vinegar only on floors. (She walked before she crawled started at 7 months, I truly think it was because the carpet irritated her and she just hated being on carpet) Laundry: dr. Bonners, no fabric softer. (Could not line dry clothes out side, the allergens outside made it worse.) also, remember your clothing not just your child’s will effect them and bedding. Winter: if we bundled her up in cold weather it was horrid. We keep the house on the cooler side. If she sweats she cries because of burning. (Beware when she was small had someone at Walmart come up to me I went to school with and tell me my child needed better winter clothing it was to cold outside she was going to get sick. I told her you get sick from germs not from being a little cold. I did not let her freeze but we found a balance where she would not get to warm under so much clothing.) Clothing: natural fabrics only! No lace, no wool, no scratchy fabric. Let them tell you it is scratchy cause she was much more sensitive to it than I. Also be careful with stitching it can effect you too. How tight it is can be a tigger. She wore/wears flip flops most of the time, even in winter because shoes and some socks caused flare-ups. Diapers: we could only use cloth diapers. Mowing: close all windows, she did not play outside for the day. (Just 1 of many triggers) Swimming: we used sunblock outside but we would also smoother her in Vaseline as a barrier for the pool chemicals in the water. The only outside body of water (ie. lakes river) that did not bother her to bad was ocean, often times it even helped. Doc said it was because of the salt and ph.) Much is trial and error. My daughter was very severe and as an 18 year old she maintains with flare-ups. (I had a doctors note from her dermatologist and allergist I had to take to school because she brought a clean sheet to school every day so when they went outside to play or played on the carpets she would lay out the sheet if her and her friends wanted to sit on the ground. And yes school made me have a note from the doctor in order for her to be able to do this.) Remember when skin is damaged (especial kids/they can get nasty playing) they are prone to and more susceptible to skin infection!. I didn’t take her childhood away, she played got dirty stank, and yes it effected her skin. I would cry with her as she got flare up, and took baths. But I would explain unfortunately she would always have this and we just had to figure out a way to balance it out. With the help of her doctors! Hoped this helped someone.

I’m so lucky to have a talented doctor irl and so lucky to run into this channel. Great advice and everything checks out with what my doctor has also recommended to me. I’ve had eczema since I was 16, main things I do is use the steroid cream when it flares up which I haven’t had a flare up in long while. Avoiding skin irritants is great when you can ofc I had a couple times in the pool and I workout regularly and they can be pretty intensive, being hygienic counters all of that, apply a moisturizer. The one I have is a moisturizer sealant it’s called Aquaphor and it’s truly worked wonders for me. The soap I use is just baby wash eczema care by Aveeno. There’s also other soap options for sensitive skin as well but I found baby wash has done me better. I really can’t do much about the environment I am in because the winters here where I live can reach up to -40 degrees Celsius regularly and I’m a winter sports guy but honestly dress for the weather and stick to the routine you’ll be fine. Take advice from your doctor as well because they are seeing you and they will know what is the best course of action for you.

Absolutely loved the tips. What you said at the end is so true, it is just learning the tricks as you go of what works for you and what are your personal irritants. Its a journey and after living with it for 22 years, I have worked out what most of my irritants are and now am able to find ways to avoid or manage when I come in contact with them. I thought I would watch this to learn some more about my skin, and you have confirmed my theories of what causes a lot of my eczema and proved I'm not crazy haha! I changed from my favourite summer denim shorts to a lighter loose-fitting pair a couple years ago because the fabric was irritating my skin. Living in Australia the extreme temperatures is what gets to my skin most of the time, I love Autumn and Spring in the mild temperatures as my skin is the happiest. Also, I work on a farm and have adapted to wearing gloves when working with sheep as wool is also a really bad irritant. Also swimming I learnt at a very young age is a bad irritant, especially in a chlorine pool, definitely need the rinse after or my skin hates me for a few days.

It's called Triple Cream eczema care by Summers laboratories. It's very thick so a little hard to spread and a little greasy but very minimal ingredients and helps the itch. I think it has some oatmeal ingredient in it. For any one who's looking to try something new because other ones irritate.

When I was younger, the dermatologists I went to would only offer cortisone creams as a solution, and so I'm only just now finding out about other tactics besides those that work for me. Oddly enough, I notice the number 1 trigger for my eczema is heat and humidity. Though I keep to a good routine, I can get away with food triggers, lack of sleep, not moisturizing, or even using scented moisturizers without much trouble during the winter, but the when the cold goes away and temperatures start climbing, I'll start breaking out.
