Eczema: Treatments & Triggers To Avoid  

It would be nice to have a full video on the different types of treatments, when they are used, and advice for self-managment.

As someone who has suffered from this and treated it time and time again on my self, my number one advise would be… to be very mindful of your diet and what you are consuming this is key 🔑 start a elimination diet, go to the bare basics for one month, strictly “whole foods” nothing processed or manufactured or added. So basically if you cannot eat it in it’s natural form (how it is grown naturally from the earth) then do not consume it. Cooking is okay i.e meat, fish, vegetables. After one month on this strict diet you will see radical healing of your symptoms. If you can stick to this diet then great if not you start to re-introduce your tasty must have foods and then see if they trigger the symptoms to come back. Key number 2 - hydration, some say the body is made up of upto +90% water so stay hydrated people!! This will allow the skin to be more moist and allow your bodily functions (organs) to do their job (detoxing) and maintain a good harmony (balance) with in the body. Please seek professional medical advice on how much water you should consume on a daily basis. It’s Pretty easy to Google and look at different sources of advice too. Also a good tip “drink the best water” that you have access too. Not all waters are made equally lol, but being correctly hydrated on any water is better than being dehydrated. Key number 3 - stress management as we all know the stressful periods in our lives are when we get the worst symptoms, it’s best to incorporate daily rituals in order to manage your stress levels more effectively, things to do : activities you love doing. Meditation , yoga , listening to music that calms you. Being in nature, listening to nature, handling the cause of the stress so it’s more manageable later on in life. Remove people and situations from your life which are causing stress. Learning to navigate through life’s stresses is a whole topic within its self. There are Loads of helpful videos on RU-vid to cover this subject. Last but not least, please remember that you and you alone are responsible for your healing journey, please please please do the research watch the videos and take the steps to trying what ever it takes for you to find what works for you. No doctors or family member is going to work as hard as you can work in fixing these issues, it’s time to take back our universal given powder and make a change. Remember that’s there’s a life out there where you can mange if not “eliminate” these symptoms all together. if your are willing to make the sacrifices in order to live a better day to day life. Also everybody is different you have to find what combination on methods work for you and don’t give up, you’re more powerful than you could ever know.

I have eczema and I thought I was bad but seeing those photos made me grateful that I don’t have it that bad

First black person I seen on the topic. Thank you 🙏🏿

100% African Shea butter is amazing even for psoriasis. Works great. Not mixed with any other thing just this pure African Shea butter. Natural. Plz try. It's such a relief. And yes eat no sugar

I had it on my elbows. Dermatologist prescribed all sorts of things and nothing worked. I put Burt’s beeswax lip balm on them after every shower and they went away after several months and has never come back. It’s been years since I’ve had it. I hope this help someone.

I love the fact that you included all skin types ❤

PLEASE give more information about different kinds of Eczema on the feet and how to treat them. I am in a place where Drs know nothing about Black Skin Care…911 😢

Thank you for including dark pigmented skin and what it would look like. You are only the second dermatologist to do this. Thank you

Well come back Dr.simi pls don't leave us again 😊❤

I have atopic eczema for around 3 years now. It's really itchy mostly at night so it keeps me awake. I went from doctor to doctor to doctor. Most of them gave me almost same products, but my eczema still appeares. But now, my current doctor's advices really help me and the red spots turn into the color of my skin and it's dissapearing. It leaves brown spots but more important that it's not red. It didn't dissapear like for ever, I still have it there I just need to take a good care of my skin so it won't be too dry for the spots to appear again. It's a bit painful at the start seing yourself covered with red spots, you feel a bit insecure. But I learned to love myself and I told myself that if I wanna love myself, I have to take care of myself too so I am taking a good care of my skin, washing it daily, putting creams and using the products my doctor recommended me.

your videos are very helpful, am an eczema patient , and I did as you recommended in one of your eczema videos it's now not an issue. thank you so much Doc your videos are very effective ❤️😊🙏

I have it on my legs, arms, neck, on my chin and around my lips, and even on my chest area😭😭😭. I have had it for almost 3 yrs now. And at the beginning of last year started taking to seriously and am trying to get rid of it. My eczema, truly nothing has really worked that well. It gets a bit better, and then after a week it goes back to being really dry, and inflamed, and hyper-pigmented. the only things that slightly lightened it was this cetomacgrogal creams that i put on CONSTANTLY (I still do to this day). My eczema was still rough and dry, but it helped it to get less dry, and ig more soft. But anyways. My eczema stayed that way for like 3 whole months. no ointment, cream, or steroids really helped to "cure" it. But not too long ago. I stumbled upon a small tub of petroleum jelly. And istg it's feels like a literal blessing form the gods them self. I still have eczema obviously. but let me tell you it has gotten WAY better. After using it for only like a week, I already saw a difference. I just apply a generous coat over the patches of eczema. And go about my day like normal. Not in public of course. but at home. Even while im writing this I have some all over my body💀🤣. Hopeful that my eczema will be cleared by the end of this year. pray for me!! Hope this helps someone (:

I had eczema, I stopped consuming everything to do with the cow and it went away.

I like that I'm seeing solutions.good work doc

I have eczema around my mouth and lips and I hate it so much it's the worst- thanks for the advice for treatment!!!!

It gets way worse in the winter sadly

Have been through all the skin therapy options. Mine has been moderate to severe for 26 years. Currently still trying to recover from being off steroids. I haven't given up. But I have reached my breaking point more than 5 times in the past month.

Doc, your tips only addresses the triggers. To find permanent cure, avoid: 1. Sugar including sugary fruits. Also reduce carbohydrates to very minimal levels. 2.Wheat 3. Dairy (except natural fermented whole milk). 4. Address chronic stress. You'll notice an improvement after a few weeks of this lifestyle change.

Sadly there's so few videos about hypopigmentation (In my case I have it caused by tretinoin irritation)

I can’t help but stare are ur beautiful skin. Makes me wonder why u choose to work with dermatology as someone who’s skins appears amazing perfect. I mean your definitely the right front facing person for the role!

I would love to watch a full video of this having this kind of skin problem!

Hey there! I’m 15 and I’m using hydrocortisone steroid cream and Vaseline for my skin, but it still seems to weep, is that ok? Is there any suggestions I could receive? Thank you.🙏

I have Eczema its the worst 😮

Thank you I have this. Never been explained to me like this before ❤

The thing I want to try nest to help are these fish that bite off all the bad skin and it apparently helps cure eczema

There are many types of shaving brush materials. We deal in shaving brush raw materials of various materials and have test samples

Most skin issues start from your diet , especially eczema start by stopping dairy and if that don’t work do the same with gluten and I guarantee you results

I have eczima and it is very easy to treat in uae i went to a hospital in fujairah and they gave me three creams which i apply thrice a day it is helping i highly recommend it to anyone with eczima

I have atopic dermatitis and its really painful and severe at the point that i feel that my face is burning alive and falling apart. I got an special cream as treatment and It helps with pain but i just wish it could be gone forever.

As a shaving brush manufacturer, we offer our customers a wide range of choices and high quality products

What methods can my auntie use to treat her 1yr old daughter?, she has it on her whole body

I have excema and psoriasis all over my body. The worst is on my scalp causing hair loss. The only thing that helps me is to avoid wheat (gluten) and sugar. Including fruit sugar and artificial sweeteners.

I stop using fragrance no matter if it smells good I cant use fragrance products for my hair ire. But I also make sure to drink lots of water…I don’t eat a lot of fry food I try not too or eat out. I try eating at home most the times

As someone who is currently suffering from this and has gone to the kids hospital multiple times, when you go through all nighters after applying cream, put a towel on the bed and lay on that instead. But if it has your allergies on it. THROW THAT TOWEL BYE BYE!

African black soap (not the bar version but the buttery kind) + coconut oil helped me

Cool so I just have to avoid weather, so stay inside but no dust can be present. Avoid food, just any kind of food because targeting which one is too much work for a derm. Instead they'll prescribe me a injectable that won't work but will cost thousands of dollars. And I also just have to avoid soap and scents. Easy peasy no lemon squeezy because that could be a trigger too. 😅

welp. this video taught me that i have severe eczema

Yes, I have posted a rightful procedure to treat eczema though I’m not a doctor

Tysm I had a outbreak

Use castor oil it help a lot or cranberry seeds oil

Dietary changes don’t work for everyone. I spent 4 years excluding foods from my diet trying to see if any of that would help with my dermatitis. Nothing did. Thankfully with puberty the worst of it went away, and I now only get it on my hands. It never fully goes away but when I’m really on top of treatments it’s barely noticeable.

Thanks so much, Dr. Can you make a video about shoe allergy?

It is topical steroid withdrawal. tws Side effects of Steroid cream. 😢

Oh I think I have this on my elbow

people try using coconut oil ( vergin ) and see it vanish within a few days , like 3 or less.

If you dont care for it alot it may get really pusy of infected,my daughter has it and it can't be that bad if you take showers/baths daily,i hope this helps,also soke it if theres pus dont just wash.

Do you have any tips against steam from the shower? I tried daily, 5 minute, lukewarm showers (I can’t shower cold) but it’s still bad for my skin, the only thing that works is taking a shower two times a week (and using a washing cloth daily)
