I'm 22 and still dealing with this. Aging, it only got worse, especially on my hands which are almost unrecognisable. And the itching? Constant. It's a nightmare. To whoever is also dealing with this: I feel ya.

I have had eczema for six months, recently completely cured. At first, tried everything, some creams, epsom salt, cold water bath, no sugar diet and etc, they all worked but not complete cure. About a month ago, I went to hiking for 6 miles, really exhausted, and found out my skin not itchy for few days. A week later I took another 6 miles hike over a mountain and extremely exhausted, It worked wonder that my skin not itchy anymore and eczema was gone a week later. It seems I need to burn out all my energy inside my body, reset, that is the cure. Now I hike at least 6miles every week, eczema not coming back!

The more I scratch the more it spreads and if I scratch where I don't have it it'll spread and just the heat makes me wanna scratch with a blade

Atopic dermatitis begins with poor liver function and is caused by the accumulation of ammonia gas in the body when liver function deteriorates. Unfortunately, atopy occurs among them because hormone metabolism decreases when liver function decreases. It can show how atopy and itching heal. It's very simple.

Since 2018 I started having acne type of small boils ( painless and no itchiness) . I went to many dermatologist but most of them used to say due to waxing or due to infection on the body hair roots. It used to get cure temporary then again used to appear and leave marks on my legs . I even stopped wearing short dresses to avoid showing my legs. 2days back I have been diagnosed with Atopic eczema that is why I searched for this video. I am happy as well as sad. Happy because now I know the cause of my problems and sad because it's not curable. As far as my parents and both paternal and maternal grandparents knows, we didn't have anyone of our family members with such problems. I am very sad.

Been hit with Eczema for the first time for the last 5 weeks. Itchiness driving me mad, and just thought...ah... my "back scrubber"? Not only good to reach my back, but all over, and actually quite pleasant would you believe, and maybe less damaging than fingernails? Small mercies!

Not all doctors know what they are doing
Remember they just passed exams took in bunch of info and got exposed to it. If you know the terms well then doing own research seriously has helped me more then asking the “doctor” to approach that experiment

Bro atopic dermatitis is the worst condition i ever gotten. The itch is crazy, ive cured it once when i was 19 idk what caused it to come back im 22 now im guessing my immune system is weak. But the doctor gave me antifungal antibiotics it worked very well. I think i might have to take an injection next but its costly asf
