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

It's an autoimmune condition

I found that after taking phenylalanine for some other health issue it cleared up

I bought my phenylalanine from Holland&Barrett

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.

Keep a good thought and very best wishes.😊

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.

Not what you're looking for?
