Eczema Atopic Dermatitis Atopic Dermatitis treatment and its permanence?
I've had Atopic Dermatitis (some form of Eczema?) for a few years now and it's really hurting my self-esteem, but my mom refuses to take me to a dermatologist and learn more about it and how to treat it. So..
I read in a lot of places that Atopic Dermatitis has no cure. Is this true? If it gets treated, is it at least not visible on the skin?
Is there a certain specific product that I should look into about treating this? How long will it take?
If I treat it, will I have to continue buying and using that product or can I keep it away by precautions in diet, moisturization, etc. etc. ?
Sorry about all the questions, but I'm really bad at using the internet and I don't know anyone with this condition. Thanks in advance for your answers.
Hello there. Let me guess: you are under 16 years old. Look: 15% of children (teens included in the category) have eczema (atopic dermatitis is another name for eczema) and only 1-2% of adults.
Chances are that your skin gets clear on its own when the time comes. Don't fret about it in the meantime.
Keep your skin moisturized, avoid hot showers/baths (they dehydrate the skin), avoid household chemicals and perfumed soaps/shampoos.
If push does come to shove, you may also want to try anti-eczema cream by Champori - it worked on my eczema like a clockwork.
Cheers,

I have atopic dermatitis (eczema) on my hands and usually it's not an issue but I have been having more problems with it over the last couple of months. I have been applying hydrocortizone cream to it, as well as a prescription I got a couple years ago from the doctor for it (which was basically an extra strength cortizone) and while those do help, the outbreaks don't completely go away. Is there anything else I can use to completely get rid of these outbreaks? (I know that I can't CURE eczema but I want something to at least make the outbreaks not be a constant thing).
Hello there. You can try one of the natural remedies available online: just google "natural remedy for eczema" and take your pick. Some of them do actually work. For my atopic eczema the herbal cream by Champori works the best: it takes abot 2 weeks to clear the patches and then they stay clear for months on end. Try it: champori comes with money back guarantee so if it doesn't work for you - it's free.
Cheers,
Stella
