How I deal with eczema & severly dry skin | My Skin Story

[@TowelBowels]

to anybody who is suffering from chronic eczema, please stay strong. I know how alone it can feel, and that nobody understands how hard it is, because the physical and mental anguish this disease brings is just not something that can be imagined without having personally experienced it. but that is also how i know that you are strong. this disease is a terrible thing and not anybody can handle it. but you can, and you have. you have made it this far and you CAN beat this flareup. stay alive. you are loved. there is a whole community of sufferers out there who DO understand and are fighting this with you. you are not alone.

[@Artsyjazzy]

+TowelBowels Thank you. That really means a lot to me, I have eczema that isn't as severe as hers but it still sometimes hurts to bend and stuff. I'm really sensitive about it, and all the concealer and foundation I wear don't work. I hide my arms and put a lot of makeup on and I'm still sensitive about it.

[@kellyanglin4543]

Thank you

[@laurennicole1348]

I've been dealing with facial eczema on my eyelids, underneath my eyes, and on my lips and around my mouth as well. It's good to know that I'm not alone, because it tends to make me very very self conscious. I know that you posted this over 2 years ago, but thank you for posting this!

I have eczema and acne it's awful , you cure the dry eczema then try cure spots they go but eczema returns , it's a constant annoying cycle

[@MsDanceDiva234]

I'm glad you shared you story. I have been through the same things. I have the exact same areas of eczema and level of severity as you do. I've had it since birth and am still working through it. When I hit puberty, it went away VERY quickly. So quickly in fact that I have white scars left over on my feet, elbows, hands, creases of my knees, etc. The dermatologist said it would go away eventually. I have atopic dermatitis so of course it will never go away. Do not you Vaseline or Aquaphor to prevent dryness. Use products in the shower like Aveeno that are hypoallergenic. Use an exfoliator every single time the dryness builds up. In order for the dryness to be prevented it needs to be removed so the moisture can be soaked in. If you have severe inflammation ask your doctor for a steroid topical ointment or pills in severe cases. They are you best bet if it needs to be helped in a short time period.

[@Lindasinish]

It's 4 years since your video and I have just found it. THANK YOU. You have given me hope. I haven't recieved hope from an allergist. Because of you, I'm making an appointment with a Dermatologist and stopping makeup. Thank you.

[@MichyMerawrs]

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for sharing your story. It's amazing to see stories like this pop up, as I, myself have eczema too. It's been roughly 3 months since I had a huge flare up of eczema. I went through several moisturisers, cleansers, creams and all of that, even anti biotics and steroids. This happened on Christmas eve and I went to the hospital Christmas day of last year. As I think of it, I'm 17 with food allergies, pet allergies, seasonal allergies and even dust allergies. There are so many factors and triggers to my eczema. My eczema took a toll on me, because it was on my face and neck. Showering would hurt my skin, and I would be afraid to shower. I would detest it so much. I was basically a reptile during that time, I was scaling so much and my self confidence fell with it. I was swelling and all my family during that time, questioned my face and asked if I were okay. It took around a month for my skin to heal, rebuild its barriers. I went through more drugs then I needed too. I took at least 4 pills a day, prescribed by the hospital. I took another 4 pills a day after seeing my dermatologist. The pills from the hospital did stop the inflamed skin and cooled it. After I finished taking them, my skin started to shed but then it flamed up again. I went from using my regular cera ve, to tryinng cetaphil again, to vaseline, curel and then I met a lady at my local drug mart in the cosmetics section. This was roughly in the beginning of January. I was once agian trying another cosmetics product, which I really had no faith in. It was called Bioderma, and the other Avene. This lady had a niece which had eczema. We obviously tested the product. It was a bioderma sensitive skin facial moisturiser which closed my cracks in my skin. God, it hurt like hell but I sat in the store and waiting. Then she gave me Avene hand creme to put on my face. For the mean time of 2 weeks, it did work on my face until my face started to retort it and go back to being dry. We went to try something new and met another person who actually had eczema herself.She introduced me to La Roche Posay. This was roughly late January. I was using their Lipikar line of shower gel and baume ap + cream. These two things have improved my skin, but now my skin is just dry, The cream does nothing to help my skin. It's weird but I can rub off my skin after continuosly rubbing it when it is wet. My dead skin can peel off with rubbing. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I'm deciding on going back to see if the same lady is there and maybe I could use something less concentrated on the lipids of my skin. I need to remove my dry skin. That's all that is left to do. I'm also deciding on maybe testing my diet because I'm realising chicken is starting to bother me now.

[@nillajoseph115]

I just want to personally thank you for this video. My mom has had eczema since she was baby, and has suffered with it for so long. It was upsetting me seeing her suffer. I did some research on youtube, and your video was so helpful. The Paula's choice products and the rosebud salve made such a tremendous overnight change! thank you so much

[@PuppyLuvsHiphop128]

I have eczema, but my skin is dry and oily at the same time, so I really don't know how to treat it. Yesterday night my skin started getting itchy and when I woke up this morning my entire face was red and bumpy with these little infected bits and I swear I almost cried it was so bad. It's still really bad right now but I'm going to see a dermatologist tomorrow so hopefully it'll clear up. Honestly, having bad skin is the worst thing ever. It completely destroys my self-confidence every time I have a reaction ://

[@meikewieferink135]

I'm having the exact same thing as you now! My skin is also dry and oily.. I woke up and I got eczema around my eyes and forehead.. How is your skin doing now? Is the eczema already gone?

[@haveagoodday5446]

I have Eczema on my eyelids, neck, jawline, Arms and legs. It's the worst!!! Ive had it my whole life I'm 18 now

[@toninndoj9902]

valerie sikora are you doing something for your eczema do you use anything

[@kellyyee8317]

valerie sikora try using a body scrub. When you get out the shower, pat your body with a towel then moisturize with cream immediately.

[@lucyflorenceh]

valerie sikora I have recently got it on my eye lids I don't know what to do it so painful and embarrassing I'm thirteen and I hate going to school because of ut

[@emelymadera3725]

i am so happy i came across this video , my eczama caused low self esteem , doctors didnt help , i got made fun of , i have it around my mouth , a rumer was spred about me saying that i had herpies , no one understood how frustrating dealing with this skin condition is. THANK YOU SO MUCH you will never understand how much you've helped

[@emelymadera3725]

they also called me the "mustache girl" everything i tried made it worse. Ive looked on the internet and no ones Ecxama was like mine so i just gave up so agsin THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@Creator090909]

I really loved this video. It is nice to see someone out there who I can relate to. Just 2 years ago when I started high school I recently started getting eczema around my eyes and mouth, in addition to my neck and chest. I've always had eczema, ever since I was a baby on my arms but I started freaking out when it also started appearing in different places. It is kinda nice to know that my eczema on my eyes and mouth isn't unique to me. My eczema has made me allergic to makeup, everything scented-including lotions, fabric softeners, most laundry soaps, candles, Chapstick, and much more-, and it also prevents my family from ever using the fire place. I like this video because it doesn't make me feel alienated like when I tell other people "what's wrong with me"

[@claraxx1220]

I have had eczema sine I was born. It's pretty bad but it used to be very severe when I was a baby and I had to wear little gloves to stop me from scratching. It's gotten better by now, I'm 13 btw, but I still have flakiness on my Cupid's bow and around my nose. On my body it's much worse with scratches and redness on my elbows, back legs etc. thanks so much for your help❤️

[@kimberlyjovanus2887]

I love your story girl

[@omgothh]

This video is awesome! Thanks for being brave and awesome to share you story. I have had eczema all my life and a few things I noticed that have made a huge difference, the soap you use makes a huge impact on your skin. I have finally found (after 29 years) a soap that does not cause an outbreak of itchiness and Cerave moisturizing soap bar is bomb. It's reasonably priced too. Also, you are so right, doctors don't do squat but prescribe overpriced chemicals that only work for x amount of time until your skin becomes immune. Also I have began consistently using aloe Vera on my face directly from the succulent and it's been really helpful but I still have dry patches which sucks but I'm still going to use them until I figure out what my skin likes. As you may know, it's a lot of trial and error! Thanks again

[@brandiwine1460]

Thank you so much for putting yourself out there and sharing your experience. Ive veen searching for what the heck is wrong with my face. This just may be it. I get it around ny eyes and mouth like you. I thought maybe being 50 finally caught up with me! Like you, i never had dry skin or reacted to anything.

[@manaynay]

I have to say, looking at the pictures is still hard and doing this video wasn't easy but I figured that maybe I could help a few people who were unsure what kind of skin condition they had.

[@JuliePangilinan]

Megan Elizabeth how long did the 2 breakouts last? did you change the way you eat?

[@annienoel5571]

I've had severe eczema/atopic dermatitis since I was born on my entire body! It's pretty under control now (I'm 16) but last year I attempted to withdraw from the prescribed steroid creams (Topical Steroid Withdrawal) and it was the hardest and most painful and exhausting thing ive ever been through! This video is great and very informative! You're skin looks beautiful! And you were talking about dyshydrotic eczema on your hands, I have a mild form of it too on my wrists

[@jenn1235]

Annie Noel. hey I'm the same as you but I'm actually 15! I actually stopped using those creams because It took the color away from my skin so I have white and red patches on my tan hands and wrist 😷 I hope one day you won't have to deal with that anymore. I still have a long way to go before it goes away for me.

[@understatedfloss8407]

I have eczema in those places on my face, plus my arms and neck....but it only flares up and shows in hot or cold weather, and when I scratch it or don't use my creams for it ☹️

[@reganlai2662]

lavender_cactus yes same!

[@fatimahal7816]

I got a reaction on my eyelids and under eyes, chin, and sides of my nose. I have no idea what it is. The doctor treated it as an infection and gave me antibiotics. It was itching me a bit but that went away. The swelling is gone, but my skin is dry. I'm having trouble re growing that layer of skin that is a barrier. I use that fresh soy walk. I ordered cerave which is what my doctor recommended ages ago. I'm Very nervous when it comes to applying products under my eyes. Nothing has worked but injustice ordered the cerave eye cream so we'll see. Your skin looks great now. Good for you.

[@BatchMark]

Thank you for this. It's nice to see someone talking so honestly about such a hard subject matter. I get occasional flare ups on my face so I know how you feel. X Mark (uk)

[@skylerrainnnj]

Omg I know this video is super old but if u see this....u are the FIRST person that get it exactly where I have it! My eyelids and brow area and around entire luos area too. I ALSO get the other type of eczema on my hands. Mine is on fingers but still amazed the cases are so similar. All my doctor does is keep giving me cortisone and every so often a course of oral steroids. It goes away...I look normal then BAMM! few wks later it slowly cones back. Been struggling for 6 months w this and am sooooooooooo over it. Thank U for making this video💗💗

[@maryseleblanc8418]

I've always had eczema! from the day I was born till now! (21 yrs) And I can really sympathize with you!! I have it on my eye lids, sides of my face, neck and inner arms! It's anoying when you have a break out and people think you're sick! And you also feel like you can't even bare yourself because you are so itchy! Going for allergy tests soon, can't wait to find out what causes it because it has been getting worst in the last 4 years! Lately I always moisturize twice a day and try to avoid hot showers and I feel it helps alot keeping it 'healed'. Good luck in the future with your skin! :)

[@tirioinisabelle6833]

Hey, probably late to the party, but I am so glad you posted this because after seeing your pictures (facial) that's exactly what I am going through/ have been for the past 2 months, and ( I'm currently in Brasil) the doctor diagnosed me with a different thing every time, none of which were ever relevant!! But I am a person who stresses so much over the slightest things and so having this and being away from home I think I was making it worse but also just because I had no idea what it was or what to do! But yes as I know now what it is I'd just like to say thanks for the tips and tricks! Xxo

[@nikkigolden1737]

I applaud you for making this video. I struggle with this too but sadly it isnt just one area of my body and I am very self conscious about it also. When people would ask me about it I use to almost start crying because I was so embarrassed!

[@amandaeliz5069]

I love this video!! Thank you so much for sharing

[@vnathalie]

I have suffered from eczema my whole life. I learned over the years what makes it react and what to use to SLOWLY heal it. I usually had it on my inner elbows and the back of my knees. The past few years I have started reacting on my face. Last year it was worse on my forehead and it usually causes discoloration of my skin, this year it is around my eyes, my chin and my neck. The main cause for this is because of the transition from summer to winter, cold temperatures are too harsh my skin, I found a routine from trial and error throughout the years. I use Cetaphil moisturizer daily and cortisone only when my skin becomes red and very itchy. I try to keep the environment I am as warm as I can but when it isn't I make sure to keep lotion on me, I have learned not to hide it, if it doesn't seem to heal as quickly as I hoped. Just let time heal which it heals when it becomes more warmer outside. I learned to not let it ruin my confidence but it's not easy to treat sometimes

[@gwynpeters6029]

Your experiences are so close to mine. I really struggled with trying to go out with my breakouts (and no makeup). I skipped so much school because I didn't want people to see how bad it was:/ my advice for anyone with eczema is to use very basic oils and such for skincare. If there's only one ingredient, there's less chance of a reaction. I like using jojoba before bed, and shea butter when my skin gets especially dry. Stay away from cortisone creams unless you're super desperate.

[@Usernamenotfoundexe]

Thank you so much for making this video..I know the feeling of crying many nights because of my ezcema..its calmed down since, but still concentrated around my mouth area. Some days I wouldn't want to leave the house because of the stares and pointing.

[@raspberrylemonade3389]

Great video, I suffer from severe dry skin and eczema around mouth and eyes and it is so irritating, especially when I want to wear makeup. Very helpful, hope your eczema has cleared up more now

[@xernue]

my eczema is usually restrained to my inner elbows and knees, but for the past few months it has been breaking out everywhere. on my face, ive been getting huge dry blotches after I'd wear makeup. obviously, i eliminated wearing it to school, work, etc and only on special occasions. it truly boosted my confidence bc i was able to accept my face in all settings.

[@xinpei9357]

Thank you for the video, it was extremely helpful. I have had eczema on my body since young but never on my face as far as I can remember up until recently. The skin around my lip is cracked and dry for so many months. My eyelids are red and blotchy. It definitely has affected my confidence level and after watching your video, I can relate to you and felt comforted that I am not the only one dealing with this problem, so, thank you!

[@johanna2508]

HI there I currently going through this phase were a couple of weeks ago i had an allergy breakout that included red flushes with itchiness around my neck that flared up to my face. the itchy part stayed on my neck though. however, the red flush that took over my face, left me with EXTREMEMLY dry skin on my face. this lasted for about a week or so and then my face was back to normal. During that time, i was taking a particular anti-allergy medication treatment in the form of pills and once the 1-week treatment was over, a week after that was over and my skin had finally regained its old good self, it started all over again. this time however, the face reacted differently presenting only small red blotches on my forehead characterized by dryness. now i am taking the pills again and am half-way through my 2-week treatment. my forehead still has a an area on my left-hand side that has this dryness that just won't go. the worst part is that its gone down to both my eyebrows and not just to one half of my forehead. any tips on how i can get rid of the flakiness/dryness on my eyebrows? they are not loose flakes they are attached and the skin looks sooo dry. i apply coconut oil and/or vaseline day and night to keep then moist but they seem to want to stick to the dryness. Also, i tend to get the same dryness right under the eyebrows (that area where we usually highlight in makeup). I suffered from psoriasis on my scalp for years and i suspect it was only a matter of time for the condition to develop in some other stage at some point but on my face its really a pain especially the flakes. to make things worse; i've had my eyebrows done with semi-permanent tattooing a couple of months earlier before disaster stroked and i can't really apply harsh products on them otherwise i'd have wasted my money on the tattooing procedure. any tips? especially when it comes to applying makeup to the eyebrows and the surrounding area..............any prepping steps you might suggest apart from the usual care routine? thanks

[@ellaprior1550]

Thanks for sharing your eczema story, your advice is so helpful- have just bought myself some soy face cleanser! I have been using Cetraben for the last few years which I think would be useful for you too as not only is it great for eczema but also helpful for general use on dry skin :)

[@christinasebastian9029]

thank you for sharing your story, i have eczema as well, i started getting a little bit on my eyelids and middle upper arm about 2 years ago but it is under control right now. I try to avoid anything that causes irritation to those specific parts of my body. Your video helped me out a lot and gave me ideas on picking out different products.

[@SG-wu8eh]

I only use 3 products. Food grade aloe (face, body, scalp), coconut oil (body) and jojoba oil (face). Any packaged product will have about 30 ingredients each of which have to potential to break you out. Best to play it safe and keep it as simple as possible.

[@mariefonder2389]

I’ve struggled with this for years and mine was the exact same as yours. People need to understand what it is when they see it and how horrible it is for someone to go through! Xoxo

I was recently diagnosed with eczema and I got extremely depressed because I never really had an issue with my skin. I don't know what made it surface and that's what freaked me out! Anyway great video! It helped

[@keepsmilinglittlemax1244]

I had it since I was a small baby I have it on my face, hands, ankles, arms and feet. If I don't put my creams on I feel as dry as the desert and it's horrible. I also hate it when people ask you about it as it makes you feel very uncomfortable. When I try to stop itching I resist for a while but then I stop resisting and itch itch itch. After that, I am left with little cuts all over the eczema patches and I always tell myself I'll stop itching from now on but it never seems to be the case. I hate putting on cream and ointment as well. Not only does my skin dry back up after a few hours, but the whole process itself takes what seems like ages. It's so hard to reach places like my back and also the doctor said I've to put the creams on every day but before school there's just never enough time to do it. At gym class sometimes my arms or face flake and it gets revealed because I'm wearing a t shirt. It's so annoying and it makes me feel like I'm the only one with the problem but I'm so glad I'm not. It also gives me very bad dandruff and I always feel stiff after a few hours. Anyways, I have been typing here for ages it's nearly my bedtime :3 I'm super glad I'm not the only one, so STAY STRONG EVERYBODY!!! NEVER GIVE UP YOU KNOW YOU CAN BEAT ECZEMA ONCE AND FOR ALL. I'M HERE WITH YOU. (=•∆•=) :3 :Dbye bye! :3

[@mauiwowielmsv]

I have it on my eyelids and my neck :( and possibly my scalp but that could also just be dandruff. I get it off and on on my eyelids a lot but this outbreak has been worst than normal. I believe my outbreak was actually caused by coconut oil I was using as a moisturizer. Ugh the struggle with eczema would definitely be forking over money for products that don't work and end up having to be tossed. Thanks for your suggestions, they gave me an inkling of hope

[@desirepantone4597]

I know this is a older video but thank you for making it. I have eczema on my face and I hate it. it makes me feel awful and because I am currently still in my last year if school I have to face people everyday with it and all if it prevents me from wearing makeup when that is one thing that I loved doing more then anything. thank you so much!

[@6100GG]

I also found applying HEMP OIL on effected areas speeds up the healing process. I had it on a few fingers. Applied the oil and in four days it feels so much better and definitely less irritation. Add a teaspoon to your smoothie and even cook with it.

I have eczema. I used to have mild eczema on my eye lids when I was 3 but it kinda sorta went away. But when I was in 5th grade, I had this really bad breakout and then my lips got really chapped. My dermatologist suggested Balistex. But it made it even worse. But then I started using Chapstick moisturizer which is way better. Then I thought that everything was good until the next summer that was when I got eczema on my cheek. It was super embarrassing it was sooooo red and itchy. My dermatologist recommended CeraVe but that made it sting really bad. I always use Eucerin on my face. Original healing and for eczema. For some reason it flares up for no reason 😑😑 And gets extremely dryer. I still have to use Chapstick. I have to carry it around with me everywhere I go, apply it once every almost half and hour and right before I go to bed, and as soon as I wake up. 😭 i really hope that someone could make a cure 😔😔

[@toninndoj9902]

[@Haiitsamirah]

There are ways of getting rid of it, it's just the things you eat and the creams that you use on your body. I had it for 14 years and I eventually grew out of eat but it's still kind of here and just flares up in certain conditions such as heat.

[@Tawagoto-subs]

I've never heard anyone pronounce "eczema" like that before. I thought you were talking about a different condition at first because you pronounced it so weirdly... But I understand you completely. Eczema runs in my family and it's so painful and frustrating. My sister currently has it all over her arms, legs and stomach and it's EXTREMELY painful to go in the shower. She's already had it for four months and nothing seems to be working. We've tried cutting dairy and meat out of her diet but it's only made a slight improvement. The real problem is the itching, and I completely agree with you there. She itches it so much it bleeds and it's so sad to watch :c I just wish there was some way of making it go away forever.

[@DinaROfficial]

I've only recently been dealing with this and it's soo annoying. I mostly get it under my eyes and I'm always researching different way to treat it and on top of that I have REALLY dry skin. I sometimes feel like there's no winning even when having the simplest skincare routine. I either break out with whiteheads or not fully moisturized or just both. I'll definitely try out these products that you recommended. Thank you!

I've had this my entire life, it comes back in different spots each year and no creams work for me, ive been in emergency before because the skin on my hands looked like it was melting off and i could not move without it bleeding or oozing. I started juicing and within 2 days i could see my skin was clearing up. within a week it was all gone.

It sucks having eczema, i'm 17 and this is the first time i'm getting it - Under my eye area. I'm so insecure about it. It's been more than 3 months now and it still comes and go's. I will try your recommendation.

[@emmapeace5294]

I have severe eczema on my wrists and hands and the rest of my body. I also break out sometimes on my eyes and coming from a person who has eczema all over my body eczema on the eyes and face is the worst because it is the most noticeable, because when people talk to you they look directly at your eyes and yeah it sucks. And I cant believe those people said that to you, that is honestly like so mean. I can really relate to that though, when I was younger I was sitting down next to this girl and she scooted away from me because she saw my skin.. It made me feel really bad and I also got these looks from other people like I am a monster or something. I just got so fed up by it all that ever since those days I usually always cover up my skin in public. I also have a really really REALLY low self esteem.. Needless to say eczema can destroy your life, but only if you let it and I am trying to change my mentality and BEAT eczema. And I loved your video... thanks for sharing!

I'm 15 and I have eczema. And first I thought it was just pimples. My eczema is mostly on my face and I didn't know what it was until yesterday.

[@amberrhea5293]

I have to wear makeup on my legs when I wear skirts and shorts. I stay constantly inflamed to the point of bleeding and scarring.

[@finnmanly1528]

I have eczema, I was born with it. I'm continuously having it somewhere. The little bumps are on my fingers aren't bad but almost always there. And thank you SO much for telling me it spreads. And I have some acne too.😩 I used Stridex pads 3 times a day and now my face is dry but oily at the same time even worse and it's so annoying! But I also have eczema inside my elbows and knees. My scalp is also very dry.. Let's just say I don't have good skin😒

[@dalalal-wazzan4651]

hey i have had eczema forever now i honestly dnt remember when it started but i was really young and i've learned how to deal with and what really worked and makes it go away the next day is (elecom) it is really really amazing ,but dnt use it and go out in the sun. use it at night right before bed.... hope it helps

[@geannaestes3210]

thank you so much for this video it is very helpful! my eczema always acts up around this time of year! I dont feel very beautiful right now, my confidence is very low when I have "breakouts"! you're video is very reassuring!

[@cececlumzsy]

Oh my gosh so glad I saw this video I that I was the only one! literally all the same areas as you. I'm getting it on my forehead and scalp as well :(

[@rachaeljost8406]

I have really bad eczema and oily acne prone skin and my dermatologist told me to buy a vary harsh foaming cleanser for my oily skin by Cetaphil and a oil control sensitive skin moisturizer by Cetaphil.

[@NoFluffJustRabbit]

Wow, I love the Ending of this Video with the encouraging Statements and epecially: what you drew out of the experience! That's wonderful! I only have very little eczema and its limited to the face. Although I'm used to walking around with red eyes (Hayfever) you experience alot of shame when your face looks weird and you cant put makeup on cuz you know its gonna get worse... Thanks for your story!

[@Fannysvp]

I suffer from eczema too. At the moment i have it on my face, hands,neck, scalp, chest, shoulders and arms. Im also getting small patches on my feet. I know how painful it can be. I don't know what to do and it is affecting me emotionally as well. I did have a lot of flares on my face along with oozing. At the moment that is gone but I am still suffering from extrely dry flaky skin.

[@briancummings2573]

I have this also. I know exactly how you feel. The only thing that eases the eczema for me, is natural sunlight. Nothing else seems to help much. I hope you find something soon. You're not alone.

[@smile9192]

I have face acne and ezema on my eye lids....its so anoying and hurts. Thank u for making this video

[@crazygirl2359]

I get the eczema around my mouth and above my eyes, went away for a few years and then came back with a bang a few weeks ago! Thanks for this

[@carrie8351]

The blisters are called dishydrotic eczema, (pronounced dis-hydrotic) and I get it on my hands as well. It's awful and I hate it

[@Frank-tj7ny]

but i respect you. very infomative and good to know. thanks in name of those who suffer from these conditions. peace out

[@lilyelyse1951]

this is the most relatable video ive ever seen omg

[@shay6728]

Thank you for sharing your story. Although my eczema isn't as severe as yours was now, when I was little it was terrible. My mom said that sometimes she would wake up and find blood on my shirts from me scratching myself. I have eczema in similar placed like you do. When I was little and still to this day, I had eczema around my mouth, on my arm, neck, and on my eyelid. As I grew up, I learned to take care of my skin and have gotten much better. However, I have random times when I break out. When I was around 12-13, eczema started to show up on my shoulders and it was so weird I never wore Tank tops. Btw, does anyone else's eczema burn a lot when they sweat?

[@jmbridge]

Be careful with the hydrocortisone creams on your eyelids. Make sure to check with your doctor or dermatologist because it can hurt your eyes. My doctor advised me to only use it on my neck flare ups since it is a topical cream and can damage your eyes.

[@commonboi1]

I have eczema on my back. Plus I have long hair. So whenever i need to shower I can see the dead skin in my hair in my reflection in the mirror. It makes it look like dandruff and I hate that.

[@dayzigeorgeson5489]

I'm really struggling at the minuet in the exact same way just not on my hands can't smile or anything it's horrible has me in tears

[@debbieescobar6267]

If you have acne AND eczema on your face cleanse with micellar water only (I use Simple).

[@marimendoza5724]

I stared having eczema since I was a baby , and I hate it because everyone is always like why do u have that or put something on that and I'm just like well my skin is sensitive or my dark circles cause I've had problems with that too cause red stuff

[@jabagnale]

thanks i have it on my hand hand eczema . the exfoliate thing helps

[@kseniasoldatenko2261]

I lived with this for 4 years but it wasn't as severe as yours. Now that it's gone I know to never rely on a dermatologist or take anything they prescribe.

[@eczematreatments7726]

Hey megan, Great video, thanks for sharing... I find that keeping stress levels down can really increase the chances of keeping Eczema in check. It doesnt stop it but it helps never seems to be as bad when Im chilled out and not stressed. Nr 1 tip from me is remove as much stress from your life as possible......

[@sadpanini2274]

I had eczema since I was really small, use aveeno it really helps and try to avoid egg. I hate eczema IT SUCKS, avoid sweat too it will make ur eczema swell and get inflamed

[@christinasohl]

I know how you feel. I have very very very, bad dry skin that I had to get treated with for eczema. It sucks, every day, someone asks me if I burnt my hands 😢😢😢

[@emilyrose4406]

someone thought i burned myself :(

[@LifeAsCasper]

I found that Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream (fragrance free) soothes my eyelids :) Also, origins overnight moisture mask works well for my skin.

[@baydupree8777]

OMG yas, i thought i was just crazy or that i wasn't putting enough on (my face) with the cetaphil moisturizer. I was like, this is suppose to be for really dry skin, and my eczema is really dry skin, so it should be working, but it just seems to make it worse. Thank u for clearing that up for me.

[@khalidibrahim2386]

I have eczema on my mouth my eyes arms and neck. I get bullied almost everyday. my whole life I spent covering and hiding my face :(

[@lpg8518]

You poor thing, people can be so insensitive. You may want to try things with chamomile in them, it helps to calm things down. Bobbi Brown has a Protective Face Lotion that really helps me. It works almost instantly when I get the little red bumps on my face, I put it on and they start to disappear. Unfortunately, I don't think it's very hydrating, but it does calm the redness. Glad to hear you figured out what works for you, sometimes doctors are no help.

[@monica9199]

I HAVE THE SAME EXACT THING RIGHT NOW. This has been going on for the past 2 years. I literally want to rip my skin off. It itches soooo much ! I cry here and there because I can’t figure out wth is going on. Cetaphil and up&up bodywash gave me the same bad reactions.

[@edianisg1137]

I have really bad eczema on my hands and on my legs but it’s slowly going away i have had it for a year almost 2 ☹️I’m 11 and sometimes I can’t sleep because I’m itching like crazy..

[@Mandark1986]

crazy i had this when i was n high school. (the first time) every once n a while it would pop up i had no idea what it was. lil water bumps. it recently came back. and this is the first time i know what it is.... thanks

[@ninamunih1614]

[@annaswanson5903]

I have eczema too and acne. My MD recommended washing my face with honey, using olive oil on my eyes and coconut oil on the face. Worked so good. I made a video, you should check it out!

[@laurenlouisehatton92]

I have exactly the same symptoms of eczema as you above my lips on my eye lids my hands with the tiny fluid blisters and my arms I've had it for 23 years but my face is the worst hydrocortisone is God also dipro base and Clinique extra mild face wash

[@emmabee5027]

[@Makeupbyhannah32]
