Question #1:

Why is my skin so bad? What should I do about it?

I'm only 19 years old. I already see little lines/wrinkles under my eyes and circles. I had pimples growing up and have not had many since but I have the scars(which is weird because I certainly did not pick every one of those). My skin just does not look soft. Also, my arms and legs are more bumpy(not eczema) I'm not sure what I should do to fix it, though I really want to. I get hit on a lot but it's always by older people who think I'm their age... :/

I do not eat at fast food chains...and haven't been to a restaurant in quite a while. I really do my best to stay away from fattening foods and every once in a while get candy/chocolate and go crazy on that. I eat a lot of fruit; I really enjoy it. And I don't really eat red meats. My carbs come from whole grain breads(and the fruit), not white. I could drink more water, though it's often all I drink. That, and lately, 100% organic pomegranate juice.

I wash my face twice daily and use a toner. I also use a moisturizer when I'm going out(don't use everyday cause my face would look too greasy)

Question #2:

do you think its be herpes?

okay, i'm freaking out. about a year ago i went to the doctor because i had butt achne (sounds funny but it was true and embarrassing) then she told me it was just eczema and gave me this cream. i realized that it gets worst in the summer time because of all the sweat. then just recently this summer i had this sex ed course and ever since i freak out when i get a bump on my buttocks. usually they were all normal looking but just 3 days ago i found this cluster of 3 little white head looking things (one of them was dark brown almost blacking i think because it formed over a beauty mark). i tried popping them but they were all hard, but very very small. then recently another larger on coming pimple formed. i tried popping that and this clear shit came out (i think because it was just too soon) and then just recently i popped the other ones (it was extremely difficult because they were so small) and this dry white puss shit came out. they don't hurt or itch at all (well they do now cause i popped them) and the only symptom of herpes i can think that i have had was one swollen lymph node on the bikini area. it scares me because all the other ones went away really fast but these ones have been here for like 3 days already and if you couldnt tell i am extremely impatient. My mom says i'm just paranoid, but i'm losing sleep over it and everytime i look at it i cry. so please someone tell me what it sounds like? thankyou!!
i would be so devistated. i'm only 17 i don't want to have herpes =(
um what the hell? this is no time to be correcting my grammar. i'm sitting here worried crying and cant fucking sleep. so if youre not going to help then dont post.

Question #3:

My hands are itchy,red and super dry. They hurt so much. Help?

4 of my fingers on my hand are cracking,peeling skin,red,very itchy and some parts bleed on and off throughout the day. They hurt a lot and feel like they are burning. If they touch water it gets worse.

PS: I am 15 and the doctors told me I had eczema 3 years back when i had dry skin on my pinky finger. They gave me cream and it help - The same cream is not helping this!

Question #4:

Coconut oil for skin and hair?

I have a red scar on my chin and i heard coconut oil is good for scars and stuff, my skin is pretty soft not too oily not too dry. Except i have a patch of eczema on my cheek and sometimes its there and stuff. Is this bad for my skin? Do you recommend it? How do you use it? And i am trying to grow my hair long about to my belly button and right now its past my chest and i heard if you use a little on your ends its good for it. Thanks

Question #6:

What are some really good lotions for eczema?

Question #7:

Does eczema leave scars ? Why ?

I don't see a connection between scars and eczema !

Question #8:

Can I use body scrub to exfoliate my face?

It doesn't say on the tin whether I can or can't use it on my face. Would it be ok?


If any of it matters, I have slightly sensitive skin but I don't have a problem with most products. I have mild eczema, but not on my face. I use this all the time on my body and it's fine on that.

Question #9:

Can someone help me...?

I used Lush's Dreamwash the other day, and it's made my face terribly dry, and it's made my eczema break out.

NOTHING will sooth it, or heal it.

I've been using Aveeno oil, then Epiderm, then Eumovate cream and Bio Oil in between for moisturisation. But it's not healing, and it WILL not go away, I'm really regretting using this facial wash, I thought it wouldn't be THIS bad, because Lush use natural ingredients, etc, so I figured the worst it would do is dry my face out, but it's all cracked and bleeding, as well as extremely dry. ):

So my question is: Can anyone recommend something to help heal my face, as well as moisturise it, because this is horrible now, I'm at college in just over a week, and I can't go to a new college with my face as it is. ):
Natural remedies especially appreciated, not stuff I'd have to ask my doctor for...

And please; No Lush products. :P
Thanks for suggesting E45, but unfortunately, it is tried and tested, it doesn't work on my skin. ):
Thanks for suggesting The Body Shop, I've never actually used any of their products. :)

I used Lush, because I've heard it does "amazing things" for eczema... Maybe that's not the case for me. :P

Question #10:

Why does this smell...?

i have eczema on my hands and inside my elbows. whenever i scratch the eczema-inflicted skin, it gives off a strange burnt rubber type of smell. my skin also gets very hot and red, which i expect.

Question #11:

Please help me with my skin problem?

15-year-old - female.
Some parts of my skin are dry (mostly my hands and feet) and I always have to moisturize them. Since years actually. It's not an eczema, but I don't know what it is. The worst part about it, is that I can't hold something tight, or stand on my hands, or just sometimes use them to support me to stand up (if I was sitting), or basically anything like that (sometimes even for simpler reasons)...I feel like my fingerprints are extending or stretching and it's really annoying and hurts a bit. However, sometimes when I moisturize my hands well, then it reduces it, but that'll remain temporary of course. What is my problem? How can I solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Question #12:

[Ramadan] Is it ok to pluck your eyebrows if......?

Well, I get a lot of facial eczema so I have to keep using cream and I get a lot of irritation near my eyebrows and the hairs also make it worse, so I have to keep my eyebrows neat. I don't change the shape or anything, I just pluck in between the brows and around the sides to keep the shape neat so I don't get as much irritation. Is this ok or is it still haraam? :/
I block hamars

Question #13:

Help with cuticles? 10 points for best answer!?

I had eczema on my hands. quite severe. I went to the doctor and i got betnovate steroid cream and aqueous cream to stick on every morning and night.
My eczema is still there SLIGHTLY but not on every finger. But i noticed i have NO cuticles.
My nails have sort of embedded into the nail bed and the nail bed is starting to get bumpy and my nails wont grow in straight.
I think my cuticles have gone because of the itching but will they ever come back?
This worries me because i used to have beautiful nails

Question #14:

Help I feel so sad please help?

I'm 23 & I still like this guy whom is only interested in sex,which I want too but I still feel sad. I am trying to move on but I can't shake the feeling I have started college but I still think about him I still cry sometimes.I feel like no one wants me because I have a skin condition called eczema.I have tried all the creams, pills & nothing has helped.How can I be happy?

Question #15:

How do you get rid of an eczema rash?

i think it's eczema anyway, it started two weeks ago when i got back to hong kong from england. My skin on the inside of my right elbow is red and flaky and there's loads of small lumps, and it's pretty itchy sometimes. The skin's also quite dry and it hurts a bit when i bend my elbow.
I've tried using nivea moisturiser but that didn't help so i got aloe vera and cucumber stuff but i haven't tried it yet.
I've had it before but that went away without any treatment. This isn't permanent is it? i don't think it's too severe
jhon. You're a useless idiot and i hate you. Come back when you're a real human, not just some automated thing copying and pasting pointless answers... why am i talking to a robot anyway?

Question #16:

IS there any kind of magic ritual that could cure me of my eczema?

I have heard about some magic rituals curing people of illnesses if you have a ritual tell me please

Question #17:

cure for eczema under the eye?

seasonally, i get a dry patch on my undereye lid...it gets really dry, changes in texture, and seems a bit puffy. Does anyone else have this problem and any cures??? i've tried regular eye creams and cortizones

Question #18:

TANNING - HOW CAN I PAINT A TAN?

I have been to around 8 doctors with a problem on my left arm . What is this problem? Well in the two folds of my arm i have this deep discoloration that is very embarrassing. This discoloration is blotchy and is around my elbow area. i have been to every specialized doctor i can think of, receiving diagnosis's of eczema, fungus, dermatitis, and tinea veriscolor. After diligently and consistently recieving medication and taking them on the appropriate times. there has been no improvement in the depigmentation of my skin. I have given up on medicine and i just want to hide this atrocious depigmented blotchy looking skin that eeryone looks at. I have tried self taning lotion and self tanning immediate spray, but not even those will work. I cant stand this frustration and embarresment anymore. i need a tan, somewhat like a paint that i can apply, or spray onto my arm to somewhat cover everything. i need help, and help fast. i beg for anycontribution of information.

P.S. I have had this {whatever it is ) on my arm for around 4 years but it has never gotten this severe. This is not Vitiligo! i already had that checked out.

Question #19:

I think I have Dyshidrotic eczema?

Ok, so I've had it for at least 6 years now. It's usually always there, but sometimes it flares right up. The doctors didn't know what it was and just gave me creams and antibiotics to try and cure it, but nothing really helped. I was doing some research on the internet and came across Dyshidrotic eczema. I'm pretty sure it's what I have. I get like little pimples or water blisters and it sooooooo freakin itchy. My hands get so dry they crack and sometimes it hurts so bad I can't even move my fingers. I use lotion ALL the time, no matter how much I put on my hands they never stay moisturized. It really sucks for me because I'm going into tattooing and I can't really tattoo with all these open wounds on my hands, it's so depressing because I don't want some little thing holding me back on my dreams.. Does anyone else have any experiences with this? Is there certain foods I should avoid? Is there any home remedies what can work? Any lotions what will help? I really want it to go away :(

Question #20:

Is Protopic 0.03% ointment for treating acne hyperpigmentation?

Someone recommended it to me but I searched it up and it says its for eczema? Does anyone know if it works for clearing up acne hyperpigmentations (scars) ? Thank you.
