what changes do you make to avoid triggers?

can share things that you use , or things that work like soaps/laundry soapsetc? I'm not sure which one is causing it. But I heard those with fragrances is causing the eczema.

I do use dermaveen lotion to hydrate my skin daily. works quite OK

i use aveeno for shower and lotion as well, works pretty well for me

no stress=no sick

For me, I try not to eat too much durian, chicken, cheese, nuts and prawns.

You can only know what u can and cannot eat by eating the same thing every day and introduce a new food item. If you feel itchy, you stop eating the item for a few days and then try again. After a few months- you can narrow down what you can and cannot eat.

Good luck.

use this cream, caring pharmacy got sell.. other pharmacy also have

my friend stop eating rice and i believe gluten also..seems his eczema looks better. not flaky only red2.

nothing works for it , it just comes and go , when exercise makes sweating , it just comes itself although cleaning it

try this

Frequently moisturizing the skin is a must.
Also reducing nuts and wheat based food intake helps a lot for me.

Some people can't have eggs and soy products. Depends on your body I guess.

My dermatologist recommended me: BENOSONE cream.
It contains steroid.
But it works for me.

Ceradan cream. Change ti soap that suit your skin.

Go consult Dr Wong at Tangkak. Find out what allergen triggers your eczema.
My gf's was due to yeast and anti-bacterial body shampoo.

Actually being fat also a trigger

I loss fat then less
Become fat happen more

Consulted dermatology from Sunway Medical Centre, common causes are dust mites, sweat, fragrance body or face wash and spicy food.

I'm currently using Cetaphil for both body and face. If redness or rough skin persist, can try oilment from Hoe Pharma.

ACtually this is very true. I used to have itchy skin problems since young and I outgrew it then eczema came back during work and one of the main trigger was stress. realized that it always happens when I get stress so might wanna look into that as well.

Glutamine works? Anyone here tried?

I also suffer from eczema since primary school now already 30..I outgrew my eczema when I was younger but lately the past 2-3 years came back again and I think main reason is stress due to work..

Can also be food..some food like nuts, diary, soya, gluten will trigger inflammation and make your eczema go crazy..need to be careful what u eat.

Sadly no cure lol I have been to many specialist and mostly just prescribed steroid cream..even very severe eczema maybe need to go for injection.

But lately I have been reading some news saying alot of ppl are having skin issues or frequent eczema flare up after receiving covid jab but no proof yet

If want some short cut, go to the hospital & ask for their allergen test.

It's around RM200 to RM600.

The more you pay, the more they test.

But ultimately, they can only test common allergens.

Some people have rare triggers.

So, keep a food diary to monitor your food. Best to stick to simple or minimalistic stuffs.

Moisturizer & soap also, opt for minimalistic ones.

Don't use stuffs with 20+ ingredients...if it triggers your eczema, it's hard to tell which one among the 20+

Well, I got hand eczema for over 15 years d. Then develope to elbow dry.
Due to my job until today I still suffer this problem.

Here is solely my experience with all these product

Things that doesn't work
Oil
Solely Water base lotion
Solely oil/fat base lotion

Things that work
Get lotion that hydrates and also coating
-Best, Rosken Dry skin lotion (cheap)
-Very good, Sebamed lotion a bit too watery (above average)
-Good, Johnson Baby lotion (cheap)
-Good , Cetaphil lotion (exp)
-Good ,Kielhs, body lotion (above average)

Not all lotion works for u, so try it out. When the skin starts to bleed and wounded, some lotion triggers itchiness

Best combo,
Apply lotion, wear glove to sleep

Best preventive method
Change shampoo/soap
Wear glove to wash plate/bath

Things may work
- Omega 3, fish oil
- expose more sunlight, cuz lack for vit D
- avoid gluten( not sure)
