shout out post for anyone with eczema. whether it’s little patches around your body or every fucking where. for the stinging, and the itchiness, and the dryness, and the pain. for anyone who’s ever itched themselves until they’re bleeding; in their sleep, or knowingly but you just don’t care because you’ve got to make it stop. for when it’s so raw and sore that you can barely bend your arm or leg or fingers, for when no amount of cream or moisturizer will soothe it. for every time someone’s told you ‘stop itching, you’re making it worse’. for every time you’ve seen a picture of yourself and all you can focus on are the red patches, the rashes, the dry scaly skin. you’re beautiful
youre so fucking valid and please try mixing some turmeric with olive oil to make a paste, literally just put it on the other day for like 10 15 minutes and its worked wonders. I also use vanicream which my doctor prescribed me which u can get online rly easily. the turmeric gets rid of the actual marks/bumps/redness and the oil moisturizes a bit. the vanicream is a really strong moisturizer though and will prevent the eczema from coming back .
is vanicream a steroid???? All I keep getting prescribed is steroids for mine and they work for a while but it’s never really gone
no its just a moisturizing cream!!! rly gentle and super Moist
my dermatologist gave me a specific anti-bacterial cream that gets rid of the eczema, but it keeps coming back if it stays dry, and thats where vanicream comes in. turmeric also gets rid of the eczema, like the anti bacterial cream.
so like I use the antibacterial cream for a few days, or the turmeric paste which seems like it just needed one application, and I put the vanicream on ater I use the paste or the anti bacterial cream. then you can stop the turmeric or the anti bacterial cream once it goes away but stay using vanicream and keep ur skin moist and it should keep the eczema away, and you won’t have to use the other stuff again
