hey thanks! Actually I just got diagnosed by a dermatologist recently and I'm not really sure what what triggered it. Have not had any eczema issues before but previously I do have hives which it's some kind of immune disorder too..

Do you mind sharing the brands of moisturizer that are compatible? and diet plan that you can recommend? Read online, most people kept to vegan diet which I also plan to try out. Not sure if it works.

there's no one size fits all for moisturisers. bu generally the more expensive brands can do a better job.

The tricky part about eczema is it's unique (different) from person to person. What works for me, may not work for you & vice versa. A lot of newborn has it & grew out of it eventually, some didn't & have to live with it for life. Some got it later in life, like in their teens, early adulthood & even after menopause too. Hives, asthma, allergies & eczema are quite similar actually. They're all immune disorders. But don't let that term frighten you much, the key to all those is to identify the unique triggers & avoid them like a plague.

Diet wise, I'd suggest to avoid sugar & gluten in general. Those are inflammatory food that tend to make your immune system go haywire. You might wanna keep a food diary to help identify what are the things that triggers your eczema. Hopefully it's as simple as dairy, seafood, nuts or animal furs. A personal Instagram account should be great for that. Food that you may wanna increase consumption should be stuffs that helps your immune system such as turmeric, ginger, vit C, probiotics. There are more that you can find, but those are the more commonly available ones. A partial short cut to this is an allergen test, easily available in most hospital for few hundred ringgit. It'll help you identify if you're allergic to common allergens.

Moisturizer wise, since it's something that you may get regularly, you might wanna find something from your neighborhood pharmacy. Lotsa common brands like Cetaphil, Ezzera, Physiogel. Personally, I usually advise people to go with the minimalist approach & use basic pure moisturizers like olive oil, shea butters, coconut oil etc. But don't get those cooking grade ones from the food section, you need skincare grade ones usually available in beauty stores. The logic behind it is simple, the lesser the better cause if it doesn't suit you, you'll know exactly what to look out for & avoid in the future.

Thanks for sharing, yea I believe it falls under the same allergy family. The thing is my doc prescribed me oral steroids for a short period which it works and looks better now but the side effects has taken a toll on me. Looks like no choice but to finish the steroids first and then look for alternatives approach. cry.gif

Antihistamines would be a much safer approach long term. this reduces the itch and you scratching, which will start off a vicious cycle. can go consult your pharmacy.

Currently dealing with some cystic hormonal acnes all over the jaw and chin area. Thought of giving it a try using skincare for a couple of months but it isn’t improving after like 10 months. Any recommendations for dermatologist and/or aesthetic skin clinic for laser treatment? I’m so fed up with this scarring and hyperpigmentation as well as active cystic acnes. Preferably in kl/sel area. Would appreciate much for any recommendations or experiences to be shared as I’m so lost.

1. please be aware of the difference between a dermatologist and an aesthetic medicine doctor.

a dermatologist is a skin specialist. look for his basic degree,.ie, MD or MBBS or MBBCH BAO. next look for the post grad degree,i.e., MRCP OR FRCP. a dermatologist can also have lasers or other aesthetic treatment.

an aesthetic medicine doctor is just a GP with a diploma in aesthetic medicine or diploma in skin/derm. this diploma helps the GP with more knowledge of skin diseases. these type of GPs might only practise normal GP work or might only concentrate on aesthetic medicine. they are not allowed to call themselves specialists, most don't.

dr christina is one such doctor. that young chinese doctor near pyramid, should be dr edwin chang is also one such doctor. they are GPs in the first place but they provide skin treatment mainly focussing on the aesthetic side but they can treat skin diseases just like any other GPs. yes they might know more about dermatology than some other GPs but most GPs can treat common skin diseases anyways, e.g., acne vulgaris, psoriasis, eczema, etc.

then why do they have dermatologists?
well, most skin problems look more or less the same. treatment is generally limited to creams and tablets.
dermatologists would have studied more into various skin diseases and would have seen many other patients with skin problems. so they can easily identify or sort out those skin diseases which tend to look similar. some more serious skin diseases need to be hospitalized, so some are based in the hospitals or would have admitting rights in the hospitals. patients also feel they are in good hands with the dermatologist as some skin diseases are chronic problems, e.g, psoriasis or eczema, they won't be cured but their problem might be in better control with the dermatologist.

Try Dr. Ranjit at SS15.
It was pretty affordable during the time I consulted him.
But please book appointment before you go.
