After years of searching for an moisturizing antiseptic and anti-itch product for my son’s eczema, we found it in the first aid aisle at Walgreen’s: Safe4Hours first-aid antiseptic protectant. Because of the layer of protection my son doesn’t itch and we have seen a real marked improvement in irritation. I am so excited that he finally has relief from all the itching. This stuff works.

I’ve got or had acid reflux since I used to be a teenager. I’m now in my thirties and what has appeared to succeed best for me is apple cider vinegar in a. I ingest it as a hot tea.

Comment on The Eczema Diet–Healing Eczema With Food by Afshin Mokhtari

Very good information. Keeping your digestion from over-acidity is key to controlling and getting rid of this condition. In Chinese medicine, we talk about dampness vs. dryness, rather than acid/alkaline but its much the same thing.

And I’m glad you mentioned the foods to avoid at the top because most people just want to add things to their diet, instead of taking garbage out. My list of things to take out of the diet: citrus, seafood (esp herring, oysters, shrimp), alcohol, coffe, black tea, sugar, spicy food, fried food, meat, and dairy. Avoid these for a while and if results are good, add your favorite back in little by little to be able to identify *your* triggers.

Again, good list of acid/alkaline foods. Certain foods, from the Chinese med perspective are especially helpful too. See http://ping.fm/g1qmS

We tried turmeric when our little boy had such severe Eczema and it stained everything yellow – including our carpet!! It was awful for us and did not work at all. In fact, nothing really worked to help him. Docs just shrugged and told us that he was a “gray area” and that they could only prescribe potent meds like oral steroids. It was awful until we found something natural that changed his/our life forever. We have him the kids chewable probiotics from Bellyboost and not only did he love the flavor (unlike many of the remedies we tried) but it began to clear his skin within just a few days and weeks. It was a miracle! I cannot say enough great things about this and I just hope that other parents can hear how well this worked for us and that maybe it would help them too.

I like turmeric. I use it internally. It selectively kills harmful bacteria so it’s very good internally. I havn’t used it externally so can’t comment on that.

As for the Aloe, I would say I’ve heard that the results of treating burns are somewhat disappointing and there are other things that have worked better. I use it for acid reflux, upset stomach. It’s an anti-inflammatory. It has the curious ability to stop the stomach from self-destructing. I find it very quick and effective for acid reflux.

I’ve heard some people say that essential fatty acids, eg fish oil and cod liver oil, flaxseed oil help improve some skin problems. I don’t know if that is true of eczema, but it’s important you have adequate amounts in your diet.

Lycopene is also good for skin.

Rosemary etc are anti-bacterial and anti-fungals and there are others in the same vein like oregano, thyme, that have similar effects. I don’t know if they might work.

I’ve had itching on my skin and quite bad eczema. If it’s a fungal problem I’d also suggest the standard advice; keep your skin dry. Soap also causes problem.
