So vexed for you honey, I have eczema - have had discoid and pomphylx and regular atopic and finally got to a dermatologist who got me sorted out. Pester your GP to get you some help x
I agree, I suffered from birth although it gradually improved as I got older. However it broke out aggressively all over my body and face when I was 14. I was eventually referred to a skin specialist at my local hospital who prescribed ointments to get it under control.
However it would always get worse every winter. I found that the sun always improved my skin (vitamin D) but when I bought a new house I decided to try a water softener. The water softener cleared up my skin entirely.
I know each type of eczema responds differently but this worked for me. Good luck xx
Jennifer Fugo is an integrative clinical nutritionist who suffered with this. She has some great insights and actionable advice. She also has very knowledgeable guests/experts on the podcast, as well. They are available to listen to for free. She is my go to on skin related issues.
I think you'll find her suggestions may be just what you need to set you in the right direction.
I also agree with Mads1975, that a water softener can really help.
I had this for the longest time. Nothing the derm gave me worked. It helped immensely when I went on a keto diet, but I realize that isn’t for everyone. But there definitely is a direct correlation between what we eat and how our skin reacts sometimes.
