I’m 18 and I have eczema all over my body except my back and palms. It only started getting really bad last year. Showers were hell. I used to be an active person. And then I couldn’t concentrate on any sport I played anymore. I spent at least 4 hours a day scratching. My 5 day school trip to Bintan was the worst. I should have enjoyed it, but instead spent it alone and in pain. After half a year of chinese medicine, it’s finally improving, but I no longer have a high school life to enjoy.

I know exactly what this is like! It’s so embarassing, Until a few years ago, I had it mostly just on my arms and legs. Crept up to my stomach and back. Then it’s been on my hands really bad, and recently I’ve developed it on my face. first around my mouth and now its under my eyes and I occasionally get it on my eyelids.

I had it full-blown all over my scalp and face, arms, etc. It was a nightmare. Doctors told me it was forever and I could only keep it in check with steroid cremes and shampoos. I did my own research for months and tried tons of homemade remedies that really didn’t do much other than drain my wallet. I came across Dr. Sandra Cabot’s website and called their office, told them what was going on, etc. and long story short, I went on her Liver Cleansing Diet and now it’s all gone. Give it a try.

I hate having eczema, I’m 26, never had it before, and now all of a sudden I’ve got it on my scalp, legs elbows and my PALMS which is SOOO bad.
I really think I would give up a limb just to get rid of this forever.
And the stupid doctors too because they just want to give me more skin-thinning steroids and a greazy moisturizer. Fuck.
Check out Dr. …
Check out Dr. Sandra Cabot’s website. I had eczema all over my face, scalp, neck, hands, and arms. Thanks to her 12-week liver cleanse, everything has cleared up. Steroid cremes and shampoo’s are a dead-end and don’t treat the problem, just the symptom – and the long-term effects from using them can be damaging. Good luck.
