SOMETHING keeps on making my eczema flare up and I can't pinpoint what it is.
Is it the weather? (It's gotten considerably colder in the last few weeks and where I live is dry. Darn Canada!)
Also, everytime after I drink booze, I get an eczema flare up a few days later. Is that a pure coincidence?
...Or maybe it's a certain sunscreen I'm using?
Does anyone have any input/experience about this?
My flare ups are on my face, I have dry patches on my chin, near my eyes, and a few patches on my cheeks! Currently I'm treating it with 1% hydrocortisone cream [Prevex HC].
Ugh this is incredibly frustrating.
Maybe someone can let me know if booze is a factor in eczema flare ups.. (This would suck a LOT seeing as I do like to party from time to time.) I've also binge drank when I was younger and hadn't experienced an eczema flare up afterwards, so maybe it's not related at all OR I just developed an adult onset allergy?
Thanks. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated!! |

I had eczema on my feet on & off all my life. I had a really bad bout of eczema earlier this year (at 3 & it was nearly all over my body & driving me insane for months. I decided to cut out all dairy & within 48 hours the itching was almost gone & the skin was starting to heal. I had to carefully read the labels on all processed foods so that my diet was 100% dairy free. Once my body was completely free of eczema (took close to a couple of months) i was able to re-introduce a little dairy back into my diet without any problems.
Try it, it can't hurt. As i said, you'll know within 48 hrs if dairy is part of your problem. |

I get my eczema from coffee and it's only recently I've heard someone else had it. Drugstore cortisone doesn't work on me. I need my doctor to write me a prescription for Betamethasone.
Recent studies provide hints that food allergy may trigger atopic dermatitis. For these people, identifying the allergens could lead to an avoidance diet to help minimize symptoms, although this approach is still in an experimental stage.[45] Dietary elements that have been reported to trigger eczema include dairy products, coffee (both caffeinated and decaffeinated), soybean products, eggs, nuts, wheat and maize (sweet corn), though food allergies may vary from person to person.[citation needed] However, in 2009, researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center found that eczema patients were especially prone to misdiagnosis of food allergies.[46][47] |

I only get eczema from stress.
Tamanu oil clears it up, but I also work on stress reduction. |

| I've never been able to find a pattern. I don't drink. I've tried eliminating dairy and soy at various times and it makes no difference. Nothing to do with stress. Maddening isn't it? |

| I do notice a correlation between me drinking too much and eczema flareups. I suspect its got more to do with the stress of sleep deprivaton that comes with too much partying than the actual drinking. |
