Most simply you just wanna keep it oily inside and out. Oily baths or even showers and you have it under control on the surface.

Under the hood diet is profound, olive oils, coconut, and pretty much anything healthy can turn around the problem.

Cannabis seems to help, a salve is worth a try and sounds fun if nothing else. But don't treat with medicine till diet is changed, that's the cure you want.

LIke your diet your regular cannabis use should be oily, tinctures and cbd concentrates and smoking is going to hurt, you don't put a fire next to dry anything.

I went through a bad patch of this waking up arms bleeding and the creams they give you are virtually useless

cut out all perfumed soaps use Simply

cut out all cleaning products products containing SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) which triggers skin irritation and that's in pretty much everything including tooth paste and washing up liquid

use Surcare range from Morrisons

cut out crisps, chips, bacon, sausages, ham etc go down to chicken, fish and basic vegetables and slowly work your way back up introducing foods slowly in case you have a trigger food

after a bath rinse yourself under the shower completely paying special attention to backs of knees, tops of your feet, forearms as i think even trace elements of soap residue kicks it right off

a teaspoon of olive oil / day helps

I thought it was never going to get better but now I'm virtually clear and stress is a bit factor.

Remain positive it will get better eventually

I agree with the doc, skin is a lot like plants. Dry leaves means moisture topically and on the inside chemistry that will promote healthy growth on the lowest possible layer, healthy oils, theres your most fundamental lubricant.

a good cbd balm will help

hello hope all is well

look up organic oats bath, cut out sugar and dairy and drinks loads of filtered or distilled water. Avoid foods that cause mucus and inflammation.

kind regards

100% agree..especially cutting the dairy.tobacco doesn't help if you smoke. And there is a product called neem cream highly recommended and its not dear either.

Elimination diet. Water, Salt, Steak(rib eye) aka Carnivore

Try the organic black seed oil and some extra B6 Vitamin and B12 thank us later .

Is black seed oil topical or ingested?

Nice

hello all, am back on here after so long... its back again the eczema...but it makes my heart so happy to see all your helpful comments

Ive been using hemp seed oil and its the best !!!! I apply it all over body & take it orally too, just a few drops, works like a CHARM !

avoid deadly nightshade family in your diet, that can make a big impact

Oh my that sounds real beautiful, messaged you !

Cold showers changed my life after suffering from chronic eczema for years. Calms it right down and let’s the CBD balls and steroid creams do there job

What dr doc said, shea butter works well for skin conditions, with my life i have had temendpus insight into this, as eczema is likely A MIND BODY issue....think about this fun fact, the skin has as much neuroscience as the brain......let that sink in like an oil..........and ask ur self, where is this in my mind, what is blocking me? If u want to message me about it u can but i knkw ur not asking....i had it on my knee, my ex gf told me this...i asked myself amd i got that i had been afraid to take the next steps.... To move forward..literally when i started taking steps in the direction It would disappear in parts, i realized it was more than one thing, more tham one step to take, and its not there, but it didnt disappear with conditioning.... i did eat healthier but it was SUPER FAST how it disappeared....it was crazy to see for me

Lifestyle, diet,
Stop using strong washing powder, change bed clothes every day when skin is bad.
Life long eczema sufferer

Fasting and putting your body in an autophagy state has anicdotal and possibly scientific backing too, to improve eczema. Also it has run through my family, and I find eating excessive sugars, carbohydrates and gluten inflames it. Just my two cents

eczema is a symptom, salves may help with a symptom but treating the underlying causes will ... you know.
how much stress do you have in your life ?

Agreed with the info already left! By add on... be careful when using creams and ointments... sometimes too much and too often can actually make the problem much worse! Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water too... such an easy thing to help so many ailments.

Salt water swimming then oils if seaside is a possibility

Animal based diet. Its hard though because your meat has to be pasture raised grass fed. Also, you must consume organs and collagen (bone broth) for you to actually benefit. Also, include fruit, raw dairy and raw honey/maple syrup. Veggies you can eat are strict. Sweet potatoes and carrots are the only ones.

For example today ive ate a fillet of venison, an ounce of cooked grass fed liver and an ounce of grass fed heart. Ive had to get the organs from my local farm. I had a fried egg with it, some raw cheese, fried banana and kiwis and honey. I feel great.

Another thing I will mention is. You must try and avoid seed oils like the plague too just in general whatever diet you take up. I cooked everything I just mentioned in organic ghee. 6 quid a jar in sainsburys.

Rapeseed oil used to be used to lubricate war engines and its in every fucking product on them shitty supermarket shelves where theyre trying to shove shit down our necks. Research about rapeseed/canola oil people its real. That shit causes more inflammation in the body than a cigarette does.

Since Ive been on this diet my skins improved, my energy levels are always steady, I sleep better and I feel more alive than ever. I can string my sentences together better, I feel more coordinated in my speech and every day life things. Your diet is one of the main foundations of how you feel.

Hope if you try it out it helps. Doesnt all have to be grass fed from a farm too coz that can be expensive to keep on top of. Not saying you cant afford it but go research and find out hope this helps anyway🫶

Diet:

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within.

Anti-inflammatory foods: Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as fatty fish, chia seeds, and flaxseeds), fruits, vegetables, and foods high in antioxidants. These can potentially help reduce inflammation in the body.

Identify triggers: Keep a food diary to identify any specific foods that may trigger or worsen your eczema symptoms. Common triggers include dairy, gluten, and certain spices.

Lifestyle:

Moisturize regularly: Use fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated. Apply moisturizers immediately after bathing or showering to lock in moisture.

Avoid harsh chemicals and irritants: Use mild, fragrance-free soaps, detergents, and skincare products. Avoid exposure to environmental irritants like harsh weather conditions, excessive heat, or allergens that may trigger flare-ups.

Stress management: Stress can potentially worsen eczema symptoms. Practice stress-management techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in hobbies that help you relax.

Wear soft, breathable clothing: Choose loose-fitting, soft, and breathable fabrics such as cotton to avoid friction and irritation to the skin.

All I would add in is cotton gloves. Lose clothes and the washing powder has bug impact.

Also a stress diary - can be a delayed reaction.

Are you vegan?

I’d try cutting out lactose for eczema. Lots of skin issues caused by lactose. I have a severe intolerance to it and as soon as I eat it I get some weird painful skin stuff. And I’d just recommend a whole food diet high in veg and protein and cut out sugar and processed food, drink lots of water, take probiotics, use electrolytes regularly, to help distribute water to the cells.

I feel you bro, same sort of thing I suffer from.
I use moisturisers - usually of the emollient variety, avoid dairy and get some sun around you - avoid the sunbeds though (my girlfriend is a dermo-nurse and swears this will do more harm to the melanin than good. UV light treatment in a hospital is not a sunbed, it is very different). Also cauliflower and broccoli are really good - the rawer the better.

Take care man, and if you haven't already, go ask your GP for a referral to the Dermatology clinic asap, those guys are great and at the moment they are pretty much empty, but still operational as the hospitals wind down their response to Covid.

I had eczema really bad I’m talking elephant skin!
Go to a Chinese herbalist! They will sort it no problem.

The best ointment I found is a Chinese cream
Called 999. You can find it on eBay.

Nice too

Diet only. Either Keto or Carnivore. I prefer carnivore with lots of beef.

Something that you might not a have heard of before… Tamanu Oil. Used in Polynesia for all sorts of skin issues, from rashes to cuts and burns.
I suffered with a skin rash for years, was prescribed all sorts of ointments, steroid creams, nothing worked and it only seemed to become drier and more inflamed.
I have always had a very healthy diet and drank plenty water, as well as exercising regularly. Still suffered with this issue.
Tried Tamanu oil after searching endlessly online for a solution and within a month the rash was gone. It’s available from face theory and only costs around £13 for a bottle (which should last about 2/3 months or even more) so not a big loss if it doesn’t work for you.
I will say though that it does have quite a strong earthy smell, but you get used to it quickly lol.

Buy silk bed sheets, get rid of what you have, may seem extravagant but I had constant eczema on my face towards the tops of my cheek bones, used steroid creams for years. On a hunch, I bought a silk pillow case. Haven't had use steroid cream on my face since. I imagine the same effect would apply allover. Cotton draws moisture and if your skin is already having trouble holding on to it, cotton aint helping for 8 hours a night. 👌

Pure cotton or bamboo may also bee just as good.

Like above changed to bamboo and my face has been better ever since.
Also a better diet.

But controlling stress has been important.
I suspect you will find a combination of stuff works best

As always, getting medical advice here is a bad idea.

Eczema is a surprisingly complex condition. AFAIK scientists do not know the cause and many think it might be multi causal (like a cough, there are a lot of reasons you might have one!).

That being said - having a diet that nourishes your gut and mouth biome is beneficial for A LOT of things. Anecdotally, since i changed my diet to nourish my biome, my skin has improved, but I don't have eczema.

So - eat whole foods. Avoid ultra processed foods. Try to eat a lot of nuts, seeds and legumes. Avoid inflammation by balancing complex carbs with fats like EVOO. Eat 30 different plants a week. Eat about 30g of fibre a day (work up to this).

As you can see below, everyone has an answer and not all of them are reliable. And hardly any are based in evidence. Eg Neem - great stuff, as an insecticide or fungicide. Probably not useful as a treatment for eczema. Ringworm maybe. No evidence for topical application of CBD either.

Sunbeds. i.e Vitamin D

Give it a try and let me know.

Cheers. BB

Stay away from the sunbeds

i only experience eczema if i wash my hair everyday (on my scalp) and if i would wash my (hands) too frequently with antibacterial soap. I find that moisturising helps with eczema and not rinsing your body of natural oils

Check out my cannabis salve/balm works wonders with dry skin and so much more. Just see my reviews

A vegan macrobiotic diet
No processed foods

avoid wearing synthetic fibres like polyester wear only natural fibres like wool cotton or sillk same for bed sheets

I have suffered from eczema for most of my adult life. Treatment starts on the inside, you will need to focus on your diet first. Look up 'The Elimination Diet' and start by cutting out the usual suspects: dairy and gluten. Look for any foods that trigger a skin response.

For flare ups you will need to moisturise and use corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, but this is not sustainable for the long term.

This will be a long and hard journey my friend, you will need to be patient, and I wish you luck.

I've made some homemade cannabis salve. Works a treat for mine and My sons psoriasis. Will be looking to test some on here with others. If anyone is interested drop me a message

Definitely recommend organic black cumin oil & a good diet will help also plenty of sun really helps

Vitamin E Oil is great for dry skin make sure you let it sink in n work before you wash. i get rly dry knees and it always works a treat .

Unfortunately a long way off , all the time we have the people in power or the current opposition it won’t happen. For the blues to suddenly admit they have been wrong all these years they will lose face, for reds current leader far to mid and right and for the same reason will lose face. The whole system needs changing for it to happen. My prediction is more and more online sales platforms till it’s saturated and then maybe they will have to but this will be years away yet

As long as we are under the British monarchy it’ll never happen they’ll just veto it like any other law they don’t agree with

I echo the sentiments that establishment is beholden to erroneous logic around super skunk and how much more dangerous it was compared to the Janky Ass Thai stick they smoked at college in the 80s.
Starmer is not for reclassification.
Nothing will change in the next 2 election cycles.

Pretty low. Labour are in the minority of social democratic parties with a really regressive drug policy generally. One of their MPs, Steve Reed I think, said we should be named and shamed to our employers. No progress will be made on recreational use certainly. Perhaps limited advances on medical cannabis. What's more likely is regional police forces simply stop treating personal use or possession as an enforcement issue.
