Besides the other recommendations, check the ingredients on every personal hygiene or household cleaning products you come in contact with.

An elimination diet of the shit you eat and drink comes first. Then eliminate the other bad ju-ju in your life..soaps, shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, shaving cream, colones, contact cleaners...etc.

We swim in and eat many industrial chemicals daily. Sad.

I'm not a doctor, but your skin condition suspects could include side effects of medicines or drugs you are taking, supplements, protein or whey or other health powders, fad diet pills or prepared meals, or vaccines. The list is endless. Including your work environment or chemicals.

You might look at the very last item you either introduced into your diet, your body or your home environment. Including any pets.

We light beings were designed with no requirements to be medicated. It's time we all decouple from the vast Medical Industrial (and goy slop food) Complex.

Naturally occurring toxins in the plant vegetation we eat has been known and studied for centuries. (See the research of Dr. James Salisbury, who invented Salisbury Steak to combat illness among Civil War soldiers.)

You might try a minimalist carnivore meat and water only diet for a short time to see if it benefits your health in other ways.

Lifestyle change, probably.
I do basically nothing that could be causing it aside from staying inside all day every day and hardly seeing any sunlight. That surely is the main cause, so I just live with it, because fuck the sun.

As Autumn and winter approaches your exposure to sunlight, vitamin D absorption thru the skin diminishes causing all sorts of metabolic issues. Get tested for deficiencies of this and other essential nutrients. Or find a good vitamin D supplement.

As you can see from this thread, there's a plethora of possibilities. I've made that journey before.

>>2861009

Yes, sugar is a metabolic killer.

Remove all forms of processed SUGAR, a fungal breeding ground. Even artificial aspartame (etc) and zero so-called sweetners screw with your gut biome.

Cut all starches, grains, and alcohol too (sugars again). Fruits and veggie sugar/starch consumption have contributed to a diabetes catastrophe also (epidemic in China, India and Pakistan).

Try other slightly better sweetner options, Stevie, monk fruit, allulose..etc. Minimize consumption as low as possible

Sugar addiction is worse than heroin.

This may not apply to you, but I have bad skin flare ups, hives and eczema all over my body, luckily not usually anywhere visible with clothes on. I've narrowed it down to intense stress from work and sleep deprivation. It didn't happen in my 20s but in my 30s it's happened enough to pinpoint it. I work a travel job so sometimes sleep is a luxury and when the job is incredibly stressful on top of that I have a good chance of a skin flare up.

Hi anon, I had alot of Eczema all my life and here is some tips i gathered over the seasons.
Use the right soap.
For detergent i always use a special soap, with very low perfume.
Same goes for body soap, i use sensitive skin bars with no perfume.
Dishwasher soap is my worse enemy and i always use rubber gloves for doing the dishes.
Here is the product i use, and that basically changed my life.
Body : Sensitive skin bars from Dove
Laundry: Biovert products
Cream: Eucerin Aquaphor (I mostly use this cream on my face before going to bed, but its very versatile)

I hope this helps you,
I have more tips if you are interested
Happy autumn friends

>TLDR: cut out any sugar, do epsom salt and borax baths, takes borax iodine orally, lime sulphur dip bath, wash clothes with borax only and tumble dry on hot. This will cure you of your fungal infection but it will come back, continuing things like cutting sugar, epsom salt baths, and washing clothing with borax will prevent its return.

I've got similar eczema to the one on your pic. I've tried mometasone, tacrolimus, hydrocortisone, ichthammol and diphenhydramine.
I'd listed them by effectiveness. Don't waste time on oral antihistamines. It's proven they don't work on skin eczema (or are really weak). In the end I've been applying mometasone every 3-4 days until I've found out the cause.
It was lack of sleep. When I sleep 8 hours or less a couple of days in a row, I have a flare up. To clear it I have to sleep 9-10 hours. Too bad I often wake up sleepy, but I can't get myself to sleep (I feel that I'm tired, but If I go to sleep - I won't sleep).
I don't know how to fix this sleep problem (yet), other than going really really tired to sleep. Max I've managed is 14 hours of continuous sleep and it worked wonders. Instantly zero itch, any red spot healed and closed in 1-2 days.
>>
>>2864986
One of the issues is hard water too. I never had any skin rashes until I moved to a new city and the apartment had really hard water (it tasted metallic you can tell) and I would shower in it of course. Well I developed rashes just like OP's pic. When I moved to a new place the problem went away completely

>>2860586
For me it was diet
But it also does spike seasonally for a bit, obviously a sign I must increase moisture in my house.

>>2860586
Vitamin D supplements have greatly reduced my symptoms over several months. I only have two tiny spots left, one of which is only slightly red and the other isn't red anymore but they are slowly disappearing too.
If you have low Vitamin D your body can't deal with inflammation because it's required by your immune system. It also regulates immune response.

Many people are deficient in Vitamin D because we're living indoors all day. You can get a Vitamin D test kit and send it to a lab for pretty cheap, then you'll know if you're deficient in it or not, which may play a significant role in dealing with your eczema.

YoOu need science. I tried every damn thing in the universe. Every cream, every home remedy. Nothing else worked for me. Go to a dermatologist and get one of the many newer Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors that have come on the market in the last few years. It's eliminated 95% of my eczema and that is considered a surpisingly poor result for how good these pills are supposed to be.

questionable what you mean with at home... but i assume you are able to source and or order stuff to your at home so i'll share this treatment from our support group...
apply a reasonable amount of 'zincoxide ointment' (diaper rash treatment) apply 1:1 amount of 'bag balm' ontop and massage the affected area until the two are mixed.
keep this at best overnight but at least for two hours. in the morning apply cold pressed borrage oil onto clean 100% cotton cosmetic swabs use them to swipe the areas you applied the ointment to with little to no pressure.

do this daily if possible and in case this doesnt lead to a visible improvement of the condition over the span of a week there is the possibility that your condition is probably mycosis, in that case source sertaconazol (over the counter antifungal treatment for example onabet spray)
in that case clean the affected skin parts with handwarm water at best by gently rinsing, no pressure, like wet towel rub or stuf flike that, thats a nono. let the skin dry on air, do not rub dry or blow hot air from fan. then spray affected areas with the spray, 3 inches distance two to three pumps per area, wait until it dried and then apply light bag balm
wash with water only daily. soap and warm water only after doing dirty work (i.e. using angle grinder dusty/dirty environments etc) or ran unwashed for more than 96 hours. other than that keep with water only. same applies for head hair and/or beard.
trim armpit/crotchhair to buzzcut or less length and keep it that short.
brush teeth at least two times a day, no toothpaste only water. rinse with mouthwash before bedtime, do not swallow mouthwash.
clean toothbrush before and after each use by diping in fresh mouthwash. check out eco mouthwash until you find your preferred taste/smell its usually herbal.
baby wipes for wiping after toilet.
else what was suggested, eliminate issues from nutrition by eliminating/replacing sources that raise inflammation levels.

you dont have to do the test, just source and take one 1000IE D3 pill, down with a small glass of room temperature water about 5 minutes before you are laying down for night rest. you will notice immidiately the morning after waking up, you should feel awake, good, refreshed, not sleepy and tired. you can try to double the dosage but you might feel tired and sleepy during the day if you take too much.
if you get a lot of natural unfiltered sunlight during the day (sitting behind window does not count) you should not take vitamin d before sleeping. also try not to take it every day. start by using it every other day, you should see improvement after the first use, see how it is the next day without taking the supplement, if its okay go another day without, until you notice waking up really tired again, then you have a rough rythm for you and can figure out fine tuning, for example sourcing 500IE and taking it every day instead of skipping every other day.

>regarding borax
All borax production came from the Lake Brines area in the Mojave Desert. Borax was an important chemical for warfare. The following 7 companies formed the cartel:
American Potash & Chemical Corporation
Borax Consolidated Ltd.
Pacific Coast Borax
U.S. Borax Companies
Goldfields American Development Co. Ltd.
Elephant Borax Corporation of New York
Borax and Chemicals Ltd. in London
The cartel controlled 100% of the world market, with American Potash & Chemical controlling 90% of production. On October 20, 1942, the Alien Property Custodian determined that 90% of American Potash & Chemical had been in German ownership since 1929, disguised as the Dutch front company Hope & Co.

On September 14, 1944, they were charged with violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. On August 16, 1945, the verdict that put an end to the cartel was handed down. The court prohibited agreements in the borax industry and the defendants were placed under surveillance.

You cannot legally source Borax for household use in the European Union.
Surely there is no reason for this...

I did the 25(OH) blood test and decided to do vit D loading dose for 8 days. 25000 IU drops per day. I couldn't sleep for a month after that (6-7 hours max, I've felt tired). kek Eczema got worse.
After that I've read in some study that vit. D inhibits sleep - makes sense, it's produced on sunlight exposure.

>You cannot legally source Borax for household use in the European Union.
I see borax everywhere in online shops with diet supplements or chemical supplies in Poland. You can get 1 kg 99,9% purity for like 3$.
There are even Aphtin drops with borax for aphthous stomatitis. I remember I could buy them at pharmacy for 0.30$ a couple of years ago. They're 1$ now.

vitd is used in metabolization of melatonin and you need both, oral d3 takes its time through digestive tract into metabolism, is metabolized during night rest into what you want to counter eczema.
25kiu is overdosed. reckless. but hey, your body your choice amirite.
start low and increase carefully, observe reaction and adjust dose accordingly.

your body is not a machine overloading your metabolism by overdosing anything is not magically creating deposits, at best anything exceeding your capacity of adsorption will leave throuh urine or stool, at worst clog you up and cause harm.

no/bad night rest because overdosing on D3 and your eczema got worse ? i hope you are not surprised by your result.

getting rid of eczema takes weeks if not months main issue is eliminating the source and maintaining the curative (for you) environmental adjustments until you are symtompless.

Honestly, you should just cut everything out of your diet.
If it's diet related, you probably eat like a pig.

It's called goyslop, basically everything is poisoned. Look it up, 80% of Americans test positive for a chemical castration drug the spray on oats, what's mind boggling about that 80% figure, is the crap leaves the body within 3 days.

Basically you need to read the ingredients, and if something doesn't need to be there, then don't fucking eat it.
Buy only natural, pure, and healthy food.

I'm not going to stick around because this shits a month old and you're probably gone, but post the ingredients list of the shit you eat, people can help you identify whats wrong

My life would have been drastically different if I knew as a kid what I know now. Unlike what they tell you, there are actually a lot of things you can do to help it.
I used to have far worse hand eczema than in that pic, and now I have none, so I can share what I do. Btw if I neglected to these things then my eczema would quickly come back, but that doesn't happen because these things are easy.

Use an eczema moisturizing cream. Just the basic moisturizing cream though, not a steroid version unless its really flaring up (which shouldn't happen if you do these other things).
Wear gloves in the shower or use a brush to scrub your hair with shampoo. Don't let your skin get too hot. Eczema is caused by inflammation and cold water reduces inflammation just fyi.
When washing your hands, rather than scrub your hands hard with soap, use a tiny bit of foam soap or organic soap (just don't use the goo soap that stays on your hands and is hard to rinse off) or skip using soap entirely, rinse in cold water, then dry your hands with a paper/rag towel and do most of the scrubbing with that.
Most importantly, cut out all processed foods sugars and carbs. Go on a ketogenic diet if you can. Avoid seed oils.
Take vitamid D. 30k IU daily at minimum.

Can't stress this enough. Skin care is 10%, and diet is 90%. They key is to avoid/reduce inflammation. Eat red meats and eggs. No processed foods, no sugars. No carbs, but only because american carbs are always full of crap.
Eczema is caused by vaccines btw. I got it the same day my dad did shortly after I was taken in for a vaccination as a kid.
>>
lots of good info in this thread. I started having hand eczema this year and learned a bunch of things. First things first, no more contact with any chemicals not even dish soap if I can help it. Next acid neutral. Then doc prescribed my a corticosteroid cream and its working. Slowly but surely.

I can actually help with this. I've had shitty skin since I was a kid. Every joint and the parts in between my fingers would dry out, crack, and bleed every winter no matter what hand cream I used every night since I was a teen. In my early 20's I also developed Raynaud's Syndrome. Doctors worthless. I'm a bit of a health nut, and started to cut out sources of toxins about two years ago. My health was otherwise way above average for my age, so I decided to tackly the eczema and here's what worked:

As a precursor, I've been using a RO filter for my water for about five years. The amount of shit in tap water is shocking. That's one of the most basic things you can do to start cutting toxins that could be contributing to your problem.

For me specifically though, I realized that I was short on vitamin b12 and maybe vitamin e. I started supplementing NUTRITIONAL YEAST, 1tsp every night (mixed it in with cottage cheese). I also threw out my store-bought hand creams and made one from scratch containing: Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, and Vitamin E Extract. After two weeks I no longer needed any sort of skin moisturizer. I'm certain the yeast was key because if I stop eating it for a few days, my hands start to crack like they used to. Oh, and the Raynaud's is completely gone.

I'm convinced that at least 50% of all disease can be cured by eliminating toxins and correcting nutritional deficits.We live in a world of poison. It's amazing our bodies hold out as long as they do.

1000 IU/day is pretty low and it will take forever for your levels to get to an acceptable level if you're deficient.
I decided to go with 5000 IU/day over many months to play it safe but I'll get myself tested soon so I know if I over or undershoot my goal of 50ng/ml 25-OH Vitamin D and then adjust my intake accordingly.
>>2868913
>>2869406
Loading doses are well researched and they're a good way to get the 25-OH Vitamin D level stabilized but you can get more unpleasant side effects than slowly increasing your level.
If you're deficient, you will get side effects as your body starts getting out of the deficiency. You may even get side effects on low doses like 1000 IU if you're deficient enough. D3 also requires magnesium to function and if you are also deficient in magnesium you may get side effects like cramps if you don't also increase your magnesium intake (drink hot chocolate or take a mag supplement). There's also a relationship between magnesium and potassium, so maybe eat some more potatoes with your meals.

Once your body has stabilized however those side effects will be gone and you'll start feeling way better than you did before and you'll have more energy and actually even sleep better. And if you're lucky, your eczema may be cured as well.
>>
>>2873235
Did you supplement your D3 with a K2 pill as well? I'm not much of a nutrition expert but my mother (God fucking bless her, she's nearly done more Eczema research than I have) swears that D3 requires K2 to properly absorb in the body. It's supposedly in vegetables, which is why you rarely see K12 supplements in stores, but I take a pill because I'm suspicious of the real nutritional value in off-the-shelf groceries. >>2873233 is correct that food is incredibly dodgy. I saw a study that due to monocrop retardation, the average carrot or cabbage you eat has like a quarter of the nutrients that it would give you in the sixties.
>>
>>2860586
Avoid gluten flours.
Both a friend and I began baking a ton of bread and one of us developed a chronic runny nose and the other eczema. Followed by fatigue and bloatedness. Slowly over some years.
Quite curious how autoimmunity sweeps across the developed world without much concern for the root cause while some overpopulated, underdeveloped countries in bum-fuck nowhere recieves the attention of the UN for mosquito research.
>>
>>2873281
Yes, it cannot be overstated how toxic the food supply is. Next time you buy potatoes, put one or two in a bucket of soil and wait for the stalks that pop up to fall over. The new potatoes that you dig out will look completely different because they were not saturated with chemicals throughout their life.
To your your question to other anon, you do need K2 and Magnesium for proper uptake of D3 supplementation.
>>
if you are working or living under a condition that feels somehow unbearable psychologically you may need to change the situation

this said, for me the biggest problem was gluten, when i stopped it 80 to 90% of the eczema was gone. alcohol also makes it worse.

taking probiotic and vitamin d also helped.

for management of the dry skin: have shower, dont wait more than a few seconds (when the pores are still open) and apply some kind of oil (i use sweet almond for base with some drops of lavender for calming effect); then immediatly moisturise - vaseline based creams for me dont work because they dont let the skin breathe, feel too heavy and sometimes even irritante the skin because they "warm it", so after lots of trial and error what worked best was aloe vera based moisturisers. you dont need to spend a lot of money but buy a decent one.
