Finally! Confirmation that exercise is triggering my itching. I can’t workout without antihistamine.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a dermatologist who understands eczema and for providing actionable suggestions for relief. Special thanks for highlighting how folks with more melanin experience eczema, as their stories are often left out of the conversation. I appreciate the time, effort and care you put into filming this video to share you knowledge with the world!

My eczema flared up recently. Thank you for these tips!

[elizabethconsoli]

Hi Dr Alexis, my comment is late but you are someone that has helped me so much, as a clinician in Africa( Tanzania) whose been learning so much from you for years, basically on skin of this message is to reach you then just know you've made such positive impact in many people's lives....you've helped me do something, IF YOU DONT MIND I WOULD LIKE TO SEND IT TO YOU...

[claudiaverdeza]

Honestly and with all respect.

The only people that have not helped me with my eczema are dermatologist, they only treat the symptoms but never guess what is the cause of everything.

[TheCRYSTALLURE]

My inner past child would’ve loved these tips back in the day! Thanks for the tips bc my summer flare ups on my fingers are possibly coming around any day now😅.

[markturner]

I have just recently been diagnosed with Eczema and I have found your YouTube video to be very enlightening … informative and thorough!
Thank You very much!!

[BestLife]

It was a perfect storm for me. Eczema(toxins, water & heat), leaky gut & histamine intolerance. I fasted for 30 hours, started giving the dishwasher and washing machine a 2nd rinse and kept my showers on the warm side rather than hot. I'm feeling MUCH better.

[pdavistalent]

Thank so much! As a dermatologist and eczema warrior, you really know how to help, cause you know the fight! Sadly, I have found 2 dermatologists that lack compassion. They have no clue how eczema can negatively affect your quality of life. I wanted to treat my eczema as naturally as possible, so I turned to YouTube University, to others that live with it. So grateful you are here! ❤❤❤

[victorbeasley]

Hi Dr Stephens, I have been in debt to you since following your channel. My skin has a very lovely glow as of now ✨️ I owe it all to your brilliance in skin care. Thanks, Victor from Atlanta ❤

The biggest things I’ve done for my eczema is getting all cotton sheets and pillow cases putting a air purifier in my room and buying screens that help block out pollen from my windows and the next big thing was taking cooler showers and now all I use is colloidal oat products like aveeno and taking oatmeal baths which did wonders especially in the summer when my skin is more irritated. My body care and skincare routine has oats in every step I can’t live without them and making my own oat mask with the aveeno 100% oats.

THIS WAS GREAT AND RIGHT ON TIME DR. STEPHENS. I just started with this so called Eczema in my early 60s and still have not found a good dermatologist who knows how to treat it correctly. I have placed an order for the cream and serum you mentioned in the video and have already implemented most of your suggestions, which are definitely on point, especially the patting. I also notice when I use cold or ice water, it helps a lot. A P.A. I visited did prescribe a good steroid ointment which you have to be careful because it will thin out your skin. I use it very sparingly and only when the symptoms gets too unbearable. I also find that using the CeraVe Ointment helps a lot and when I scratch too hard which creates blisters or cuts, my good old Neosporin helps. Thank you for taking the time to provide all the helpful tips.

😊 Hi Dr Alexis, what the difference between eczema and psoriasis? How do I recognize which is which? Thank you so much for the information. 🙏🙏🙏

[qqgowpu]

A white dermatologist told me I had eczema I never seen eczema like little black dots on my butt on my thighs on my arms it's like taking control of my whole body I don't even wear shorts anymore because I don't want to people are just very cruel and he was just running my insurance every time I came in but not really telling me anything so now I have a lot of information thank you so much and I'm going to start looking up a dermatologist that is of color thank you for sharing

[gimi]

I don't like when doctors just treat the symptoms. Ok having eczema means a deficiency in ceramides... And where do they originate in the body? .... The liver! So help your liver! And yeah help topically too but c'mon! Let's fix the root cause!

[samanthaanglero]

As someone with eczema, that’s necessaire body cream WORKS! I’m on my second jar.

[colettecraig]

I'm so glad you did this video. I'm in tbe midst of a flare up right now. I've been prescribed 3 different creams & 2 allergy medications & to try to get it under control but nothing is working. This video is right on time.

[raeveth]

It is amazing to me that ppl are still putting out videos like this without addressing the gut microbiome and the gut-skin access

[PatrykKieszek]

Wow! first time I discover your channel and I have to tell you that I have the same condition and it's true that it's a very sensitive thing.. any thing that affects me psychologically or a food that I consume, or a lifestyle triggers my skin condition. I have to tell you that your skin is so perfect!
