Eczema/Skin Asthma: What Products Do You Use?

[ann08]

I bought Redwin vitamin E cream due to face redness. Hope it works. Nagkaka face redness rin ba kayo? Thanks.

hi, newbie here and I have been suffering 2 years from this dreaded disease. Share ko lang exp ko.  Nagpunta na ako sa iba't ibang dermatologists para dito pero bumabalik pa rin. Nakakadesperate sya to the point na pinatawas at pinadala na ako sa albularyo ng magulang ko baka daw gumaling na ako.

Wala naman akong ganito nung bata ako, nagstart lang nung nagkaroon ako ng super kati sa leeg at may nagsabi sa akin na allergic ako sa pawis kasi same daw kami ng itsura ng sugat/kati. Then umabot na sa iba't ibang folds ng body ko. Right now, nasa folds ng arms ko at buong leeg ko meron laging pabalik-balik. Meron na rin sa bikini area at gilid ng kili kili ko. Super kadiri sya to the point na inaasar na ako ng friends ko "aids" daw. lol.

Sinabihan ako sa past derma ko na bawal ako sa chicken skin, crustaceans, bagoong, anything dairy pati citrus at nuts saka saltwater fishes. Inadvise ako na uminom ng 20 mg ng levocetirizine (4 pills yun at maximum intake na raw yung 20 mg) every day, magpahid ng hydrocortizone at antifungal cream sa mga kati at clobetasol sa mga kagat ng mosquito, at gumamit ng dove soap unscented at dove essentials na blue after maligo. Pinagamit din ako ng whitening gel saka gamot para sa keratosis. Meron din pala akong dyshihydrosis sa kamay kaya dapat moisturised much.

Sobrang detailed no? pero up til now nangangati pa rin ako.

Di ako makapag allergy patch test kasi dapat makinis to the bones ako. Tinigil ko na yung 4 pills a day kasi nasisira yung flow ng work ko lagi kasi ako inaantok at umaabot ng mga 1k kada week. Pinalitan ko na rin yung detergent ko ng victoria/ human nature kasi herbal soap sya at hypoallergenic kaso namomroblema ako sang laundry shop pwede near my place na pwede magaccept nun dahil wala na katulong dun sa parents ko na pwedeng ipalaba damit ko. Pati din deodorant, Dove original lang at dahil nangati lalo sa dove green at yung sa whitening. Dahil nangangati din ako sa bikini area, di ako nagsusuot ng panloob pag nasa bahay except pag may periods.

May masusuggest ba kayong dermatologist na medyo affordable ang fee? Saka ano mga alternatives na pwede sa restoraderm or physiogel? Maganda sana yung bar soap ng cetaphil kaso sobrang mahal at ang bilis malusaw. May nagpapalaundry shop ba dito? Pwede ba yung ikaw magprovide ng detergents? Pasensya na. Namulubi na ako sobra sobra dito. 

Salamat nang marami!

^Sis, I suggest read ka lang dito.. Maraming tips to cure this.  I was also a sufferer before for 2 years to the point na hindi na tumatalab ang steroids sa flareups ko. 

I just started using:
Physiogel lotion (been using for 4 years now)
Dove unscented soap (body)
Kiehl's ultra facial cream
Kiehl's calendula facial wash

Up until now, no flareups.  Sobrang kinis ko na that after 2 years of battling ezcema, i was able to wear sleeveless and shorts as mga 10 years din ako naka pants lagi.  I never dared to wear anything shorter than capri dati.

Eczema can get super irritating so I took time off and had my fingers checked.  I would leave petroleum jelly overnight wrapped with gauze and tape para hindi kumalat the PJ and my skin improved.  The derma also suggested that I apply clobetasol for two weeks, twice a day. 

[changelessme]

Mga sisses, try ninyo ang Neosporin Eczema essentials, they work for me. I have been using them for almost a year already.

Eczema is super annoying!!! Meron na ko nito 5 years ago pa, wala na magawa ang creams na binibigay ng derma mawawala bumabalik, hindi ko pa naman mapigilan hindi mag kamot. Nabasa ko dito Physiogel AI cream  & Oilatum, i bought & tried it last night sana maging effective saken. Pag hindi pa din i'll try mustela stelatopia.

[nicoletta]

^ You just have to put creams or lotions every after wash.  I did not know I have eczema until after narin and I apply clobetasol cream.  It has lessened together with petroleum jelly.

When we're still in the Philippines, my son uses Physiogel soap free wash and AI Cream. Super effective for him.. when we moved here in Australia, since they don't have Physiogel,  I use combination products such as Cetaphil Soap free wash, QV Wash for Kids, QV Shampoo, Cetaphil moisturiser and Alpha Keri. So far ok din although mas madaling mag dry ang skin nya coz of the weather.

Hello! 

I have this since I was a kid. I remember how desperate my mom was when I was still young to alleviate my condition. Been to so many dermatologists, tried gazillions of products, etc. She did everything! I love you Ma! But I think it's just in me and I've managed to live with it somehow. I get the worst reaction during the peak of summer and during winter. Gahhd. Winter is my nightmare.

The products that I use have evolved through the years. But I am currently using Cetaphil soap for my body. VMV products for my face. And when it's winter, I use Glysolid glycerin cream as a lotion (yes, I know it's very thick but I just have to really moisturize my skin) and cover my legs with fleece leggings to keep the moisture in.

Hello!

Since malamig na naman ang panahon ngayon, umatake na naman ang skin asthma ko. I tried Physiogel AI Cream, first pahid ko nabawasan na yung redness kaso lang ang kati pa rin at di ko mapigilan na di kamutin. Then gumagamit din ako ng Jergens lotion yung ultra healing. Masyado kasi mahal yung Physiogel Lotion. Saka gumagamit din ako ng Betadine Skin Cleanser.

Sa mga gumagamit ng Physiogel AI Cream, ganito din ba experience nyo? May iniinom ba kayo o pinapahid pa na iba para mawala yung kati? Saka para maglighten ang scars, ano din gamit nyo? And last question, Saan nakakabili ng mga kiehl's products?

TIA!

[tiggerlily]

I'm not sure if it is my hormones that is helping me clear the eczema but I'm currently pregnant. I'm also using extra virgin olive oil on my body and it's clearing up. Nakakapagshorts na ako!!!

[mariebiscuit]

I have this as well, iwas na sa matatapang na lotion, perfume, soap etc, and if possible mag gloves na lang in washing dishes if its your hand thats affected, which is my case, wag magbabad sa tubig, and use cool water or lukewarm, keep moisturized, wag too much and iwas na scratch kasi maguumpisa dyan ang pag itch, may ointment ako, Valisone kaso nilalagay ko lang pag worse

Sis, san ka nakakabili ng Valisone? Need ba ng reseta?

[RoManHoliday]

Mga sis, try niyo yung NeutraOrganics. I don't have excema pero may mga skin allergies ako so i tried their miracle mud balm kasi nakita ko yung testimonials sa instagram nila. Mga eczema, nagiimprove.

May binili rin akong parang scrub na sabi ng owner na helps with itching, in fairness, nawala yung kati ng neck ko nung nag-allergy na naman ako nung isang araw.
