Hi.

Anyone with eczema taking those?

My cheek bones and nose...it stings, scaly, burns, crusty etc.

Using Cloderm cream.


Wish to add oral medication for faster recovery.

Too painful.

antihistamine it just temporary relief

how bad it is? can show photo?

Temp is good enough for me.

Normally with Cloderm took days.

Adding antih helps easing the pain.

The itch & rashes are usually due to histamine build ups under the skin. That's why taking antihistamine helps to reduce those 2 symptoms.

"Crusty" is a symptom of dry skin, you need a moisturizer for that.

Eczema isn't a skin problem, it's a problem with your auto immune system. Focus on regulating back your immune system & reduce things that are triggering or inflaming your immune system should be helpful.

Will garlic helps?

Baked garlic on a saucepan.

Yea garlic has some antihistamine properties. But it's more like inhibiting histamine release instead of breaking up existing histamine build ups. So some may find it helpful while some don't.

As for moisturizer...any particular brand?

100% pure shea butters would be the most economical one. Several independent pharmacies around Klang Valley are selling it, so you can try research about it first.

Should I stop using Cloderm?

It's up to what do you believe in.

Steroids is an immune suppressant - that's the prove that eczema is an immune problem instead of a skin problem. It doesn't heal or remedy eczema at all, it merely turn off your immune system so that it stops flaring up. Once the steroid effect is over, your eczema will flare up as usual. Then you'll repeat this cycle until your body adapts to the current dose of steroid & you're forced to use a high dose one. Also unfortunately, steroid has some nasty side effects too that takes time to appear.

Can we say Vaseline's the best?


The 7 Best Lotions for Eczema, According to Dermatologists

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Hand Unscented Lotion.
CerVe Moisturizing Cream.
Curel Hydra Therapy.
Avene XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cream.
SkinClinical Extreme Healing Daily Treatment.
Mustela Stelatopia Emollient Balm.
Cetaphil Daily Hydrating Lotion.

Vaseline doesn't have a single ounce of nourishment to heal at all.

look at your diet too

What kind of diet can cause this?

I see.

There are foods that causes it.

And there are foods that cure it.

Better than buying medication; prevent it or curing it the natural way.


Butter is part of dairy; I ate butter with bread everyday.

Eggs causes it too...which I ate a lot.
