About Eczema

Do you suffer from skin irritation, redness, itching, scaling or rashes? Chances are that you have one of the typical symptoms of eczema. This skin condition causes blood vessels to swell and irritates nerve endings. The underlying cause of eczema is an excessive reaction by the immune system, which results in an inflammation of the skin. Many factors are at cause, with genetics, the environment and impaired immune responses being the most dominant.

Atopic eczema is a problem which occurs from birth with patients who have an inherited genetic disposition. Flare ups can be triggered by factors such as allergens (food and hay fever), asthma, environmental factors, sweat, irritants and stress. Up to 20% of babies & children under the age of 5 have eczema. The prevalence rate with adults is about 3%.1

Contact eczema is seen more often with adults. It is frequently related to one’s profession (e.g. hairdresser, florists and factory workers). Contact eczema can be the result of an allergic or irritant reaction to one or various substances or products (such as detergents, alcohol, soaps, solvents or nickel) at work or in and around the home.

        Have you tried diprobase from the UK, has worked wonders on my sons eczema. You can buy it from here http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/diprobase-ointment_1_177525.h…

        • shaybisc on 15/08/2013 - 09:47

          The only ingredients listed in that is paraffin aka mineral oil and petroleum jelly, which you can pick up at any supermarket.

        • ExtremeDavo on 15/08/2013 - 11:30

          and I have an allergic reaction to petroleum jelly, ala Vaseline.

        • tokziktigah on 15/08/2013 - 16:24

          have you used novasone? it's a steroid cream but when i flare up, nothing "natural" will help but this cream really helps to clear things up in 2-3 days

        • cwongtech on 15/08/2013 - 16:32

          For anyone interested, Novasone is the 'generic' version of Elecon, I think eczema sufferers are more familiar with the name. They're both produced by the same manufacturer, Elecon comes in 15g and 50g tubes, Novasone is only offered in 15g tubes (it is cheaper than Elecon 15g)
          They're exactly the same (2 pharmacists have said so)

        • tokziktigah on 15/08/2013 - 16:41

          Thanks! I actually used to use elecon and switched to novasone. The person supplies me with my meds so I haven't really questioned the change as it does the same thing. Now I know.

        • cwongtech on 16/08/2013 - 12:27

          Sorry, it's "Elocon" haha, I haven't used it in a while now.
          You can get authority scripts from the doctor!
          Authority scripts, regardless of the amount prescribed, is capped at $36.10 (for now) for the patient, and the govt will subsidize the rest of the medication for you.
          I guess that's one way to grab the benefits of the medicare levy tax :)
          At the moment, my dermatologist has given me a script for 10 x Elocon 15g (novasones) per visit to the pharmacist.
          You can get them through the doctor as well, just they have to call up some centre to get the authority script for you (usually they can't be bothered because it takes 2 or 3 minutes of being on the phone)

          Check this out:

          And

          Looks like Zatamil may be another variant of Elocon!
          And looks like Elocon will be $2.90 more than Novason/Zatamil

        I've been having eczema for over 15 years and DermAid 1% cream is working for me after 2 days of applying the cream, however eczema comes back to me every winter.

        • f4te on 15/08/2013 - 09:53

          I use DermAid 1% as well, it does wonders! (No script needed either.)

        • shaybisc on 15/08/2013 - 10:55

          Do you use regular Dermaid or the Soft Dermaid?

        • Saiya on 15/08/2013 - 11:23

          Just be careful from long term use of DermAid. My doctor advised that long term use can cause the skin to thin out. Always try some good moisturising cream first and if there is no improvement then move onto the DermAid, and if it gets really bad then see the doc to get the stronger stuff.

      • Rocket on 15/08/2013 - 09:49

        Elecon works for everyone in my family. You will need a script for it though.

        • naira on 15/08/2013 - 10:11

          Elecon is very strong but really works well for my daughter.

          Keep in mind guys that steroid creams like DermAid and Elocon are NOT meant to be for longterm use.

        • compingqueen on 15/08/2013 - 10:51

          I used to rely heavily on Elocon. So expensive now but I keep it around for when I have bad flare-ups. I used to like Sigmacort, no script needed, but it's not as effective as Elocon.
          Looking forward to trying Dermalex. There are so many Eczema creams around that it's hard to know which one's are good. I've tried a few through samples that have been absolutely no good.
          Will definitely be trying Dermaid as a few people have suggested too.

        • ExtremeDavo on 15/08/2013 - 11:31

          Elocon no longer works for me. Makes my skin itchy and doesn't repair it because my skin is so thin. Problem is almost all moisturisers flare up my skin and make it worse…

    Elocon is effective but has long term side effects that you should consider.

    Let me tell you how I controlled my eczema. I have had it since I was about 16, when I moved from country to city. Got it all over my upper arms, neck and in sweaty spots. Moved back to the country 5 years ago, hoped it would go away but it did not. Then one day when cleaning up my garage I found my old silver St Christopher's medal on silver chain…it was black and tarnished so I did the aluminium foil/baking soda trick and it came up clean. Put it on just as a sentimental thing and one week later, eczema was gone completely, 100% perfect. Then about a year ago, I lost it in the surf, and the eczema was back in about 2 weeks. Since then I have tried several medallions, and none have been quite as effective as that old one, but my current one is working well enough that I don't need elocon except very occasionally. I think it has to be an old tarnished then cleaned medallion to work. Perhaps there is a protective lacquer or something on new ones that might need to be removed. The quality of silver might also matter.

    Your mileage may vary but worked amazingly for me.

  • shaybisc on 15/08/2013 - 10:41

    I just did a search for hydrocortisone (the stuff in Dermaid)1% cream and Preparation H comes up. Yep, same ingredient. So if your exzema is cleared up by Dermaid you can keep it for use on your hemorrhoids.

  • D1977 on 15/08/2013 - 11:12

    I also suffer from Eczema (top of my hands and fingers only) but have been really very lucky this year as the Sydney winter has not been that brutal. I did have a couple of days when it was cool and windy where my hands flared up but for the most part I've had no Eczema for the past 10 weeks. It has however come back the past 4-5 days.

    I have the steroid creams and they work well but I don't like to use them. Rather I have been using the DermaVeen Eczema lotion 2-3 times a day (available from most chemists) and this works well. What also helps is to make sure you are not having very hot showers. I managed to avoid the Eczema for that 10 week period by dropping the temp of the water when I have a shower. Hot water definitely brings on the Eczema for me and I have been able to reproduce the Eczema by taking a hot shower so I know the water temperature doesn’t help.

      That feeling when hot water touches your eczema is orgasmic though.

      • D1977 on 16/08/2013 - 09:23

        It sure is, but the itchiness that comes a couple of hours after that is not

        • rukia on 16/08/2013 - 10:33

          But scratching the itch feels so good!

  • sbals on 15/08/2013 - 11:43

    Elocon is the only thing that touches my eczema, the 1% hydrocortisone creams don't do anything. Will give this a shot. Filled out the form and it says they'll be in touch shortly - I wonder if this means I actually need to put legitimate contact details in beyond the address..

  • gm3stevens on 15/08/2013 - 12:53

    I had used elocon and diprosone before to treat my eczema. I found that the problem with steroid cream was once you stopped it, the eczema came back.

    About 5 years ago, I was advised by dermatologist to go for the UV light treatment. I know that this treatment may not work for everyone but luckily it works for me.

    As for the moisturizer I use Alpha Keri lotion everyday after shower and now the condition is under control.

    My daughter has severe eczema. Im so sick of everyone staring at her. Worse is when they offer a solution that worked for their brother's girlfriend's nieces's uncle's friend.

    Everyone is different. There is no miracle treatment and it is all trial and error.

    I do not wish this on anyone let alone a baby who cannot sleep and continues to itch until she bleeds :(

    • ataraxia on 16/08/2013 - 10:12

      I became very self conscious about my skin. I know how your daughter feels.

      Sort of becomes a talking point for parents every time they meet and talk doesnt it?

    Topical steroids are not meant to be used for more than 2 weeks, I am very disturbed by the amount of people using it for such a long amount of time on this forum.

    Using it for long term can cause 'addiction' or Red skin syndrome and your skin relies on the cream and it flares if you don't regularly apply it..
    Check out ITSAN(dot)org for more information if this applies to you.

    I do not intend to advertise, but this is a very serious medical condition…

    • Astro551 on 16/08/2013 - 00:17

      I have suffered from eczema my whole life, and while my doctor has warned me of the extensive and extended use of steroid creams/oral tablets. This is the first time of hearing of an actual "Topical Steroid Addiction".

      While I am sick of hearing of a "magical cure that worked on my _______ (insert distant relative here)", and having to politely accept their advice. I find it hard to imagine that doctor's around the world with years or decades of experience would put their patient's health at risk for the sake of a billion dollar industry.

      Perhaps it's just me but I do trust my doctor's advice over a youtube video claiming to have a "cure". Despite "many years of medical evidence" and "doctors being unaware of this".

      Don't get me wrong, I'm not discounting the adverse effects of extended use of stronger and stronger steroid creams, but I'm not sure on the legitimacy of going cold-turkey and after months to years of inflammation your skin simply getting better, or as the website claims - eczema being "cured".

      Can anyone else comment on this ITSAN initiative? Would like to hear peoples thoughts/experiences.

      • cwongtech on 16/08/2013 - 01:38

        Definitely there is a well-known risk of heavy reliance on steroid cream, a side effect is indeed skin that may become thinner.
        I haven't heard of an addiction though..
        As soon as the affected patch of skin stops being red, I always switch back to normal moisturizer.
        Funny thing is: If I don't use novasone/elecon on the red patch of skin, no matter how much and how frequent I apply the moisturizer, the patch will not heal :\

        • lolcatss on 16/08/2013 - 20:11

          That is indeed a symptom of topical steroid addiction :/ is it only a small patch?

        • cwongtech on 17/08/2013 - 01:25

          No - it was all over the face, yes I know I'm not supposed to use topical steriods on the face, I only use it when it's really bad. The other one I can use is "elidel", which supposively does the same thing but able to be used on the face. However, when I use it, it seems to not have any effect, as well as be a waste of money ($36.10 for a 15g tube)

          When I used moisturizer the dry patch becomes red (moisturizer is absorbed rapidly but it doesn't do anything).
          I go off the topical steroids as soon as it's not red anymore, have never had it flare up as bad as this before, that's why I used it again.

          Also, keratin cysts appear everywhere when I use novasone on the face.
          These are little small bumps that look like they're about to become pimples, but really, when you squish them, a small stream of white thick solid that smells (keratin), will come out.
          Saw the dermatologist, and she said it was just a natural thing for the face to produce them.
          But I'm pretty sure it's because of the steriod cream accelerating the skin's production of the keratin, because as soon as I go off them on my face, they don't pop up anymore.

      • lolcatss on 16/08/2013 - 20:14

    I'm a big advocate for Cetaphil's Restoraderm. I have eczema which goes from a blistery pompholyx-like eczema to a dry peeling itchiness on my hand.

    I have used Elocon daily in the past and had an unfortunate itching fit where I pretty much tore off the skin and was left with a sore that would not heal for the longest time.

    Now, I only use cortisone cream when the itchiness is unbearable, but for other times, I use Restoraderm and wear a cotton glove over it. It's also a great time to hear all the Michael Jackson references your friends can come up with.

    • cwongtech on 17/08/2013 - 01:27

      Cetaphil's DailyMotion is pretty good!
      I used to use QV on my face, but noticed although it wasn't listed as an 'oily' cream, cetaphil works better for me, no whiteheads popping up.
