oh ya…forgot there is a new med to treat eczema.

i saw from US tv ad, and i asked hospital kl doctor about this med, he said this med just reached hospital kl last month and reserved for those severe condition eczema patient.

doctor told me the price for one month supply is about rm5k, and the website says normally need 16 weeks.

If compared to the famous ones in KL, about the same. The issue is the waiting time which has gotten better nowadays after covid (you can now make booking). I have my own experience with him but wouldn't want to comment here. Better read facebook or other forums on comments.

zyrtec is great to stop the itching, so no scratching to worsen it.

Pfizer + booster ruined my life. Well, not entirely ruined but I'm miserable all the time due to lack of sleep because of the itchiness/open wounds/leaking yellowish liquid. Every couple months it flares up, go see doctor, get antibiotics, steroid cream, anti-itch pills, then it goes away in a few days.

After a few weeks/month, it comes back again. Rinse and repeat.

I've done allergy and blood tests, and already figured out what I'm allergic to (shellfish, soy, fermented stuff, etc.) but even after cutting out all of them from my diet and going totally gluten-free, eczema still wins.

There are 3 products that makes me somewhat less miserable; Aveeno skin relief body wash, Sebamed 5.5 anti-dry hydrating body lotion, and Defuzin-B cream. I know people say Defuzin-B is bad and causes black spots, but I've yet to find anything better than it for me personally. All 3 combined is still a lot cheaper than visiting skin specialist. The reason why I even visit the doctor is for the antibiotics when the wounds get infected and refuse to heal.

I found that using hydrocolloid bandages/plasters is a bit better since it can stick on better and seal the wound area for a long while, but don't buy the ones for acne because those are usually more expensive and smaller sized, buy the ones marketed for blisters.

yea. that will be better. especially for larger area wound.

for small area wound, the watson transparent plaster i shared above can stick well already, and low cost enough to keep changing.

and keep the plaster on while shower so that won't rub off the newly healed tissue. change it after shower.

Were you tested for Helicobacter pylori colonization and leaky gut syndrome? Those 2 maladies are also possible causes for eczema.

Looks like immune suppression medicine which is not a good thing. They even list out all the risks on the website, for me it is not worth it to get cancer in order to relief my eczema

Did you sleep longer/better? I find that if I sleep 5-7 hrs, my eczema will subside. Felt like my liver's not working without enough sleep  sweat.gif
