Ok i have real bad eczema on my legs?
Question:
Answers:
I had horrible eczema all over my arms and I was able to get rid of it. You can see a dermatologist, and they will reccomend a strong ointment. The other option would be to a drug store, or a large convience store (like Meijer, or WalMart), and look for a product called Aquaphor.
Its a clear gel... and it really helps out dry skin a lot. I just loaded it on my arms all hours of the day. for about 2 months. It gets hard not to scratch it, but it definitly helps out eczema. If that doesnt help, go see a dermatologist. because its better to pay the money now, than to have scars all over your legs when your older.
There are a lot of good supplements that can help with skin health and may clear that up... unfortunately, there may be too many to narrow it down very easily.
The most popular items I've seen for skin are things like the simple vitamins (A, E, C, and other antioxidants, plus Alpha Lipoic Acid can help rejuvenate some of those), Fish Oil, Borage Oil (really any Gamma Linolenic Acid is good), MSM (also good for joints and connective tissues), Horsetail (a natural form of Silica), L-Cysteine, and Biotin.
...Oh, and those last 4 products are good for the skin, hair, and nails, too.
There is also one homeopathic item we carry which is a Florasone Eczema cream. Some people really like Homeopathic products, some don't.
I've tried a few of these myself, and some have helped for a dry skin problem that I've had for a long time. I've also tried some that most of our customers have a great benefit from, and it didn't help me much.
Any and all of those help with different aspects of skin health, so any combination of those may help with eczema. Unfortunately, different people respond differently to different supplements, so you may need to try out one or two at a time if you want to narrow down which ones will work best for you... or you can check with a dermatologist (or any doctor) that knows about supplements to see if they can narrow it down for your body chemistry better.
