All about: Skin Asthma / Eczema (Merged)

[choppy]

I have skin asthma which is also termed as Eczema...nagpaderma na ako sooo many times na  (but I stopped going to derma) and all they say is the same "put lotion...put lotion" so i've been applying lotion to my skin but nothing happens and hindi mawala wala so ngaun medyo na conscious na ako sa legs ko (my skin asthma is only shown on my legs)...sabi din ng dermatologist na this is hereditary since my dad also has it...because of this skin asthma, ung skin ko mabilis magdry and magrough

so does anyone know how to cure this?

Here's a useful link from MedlinePlus about Eczema. =)

I also have skin asthma kaya I am envious of those people who got smooth skin (aside from those people who are not deprived of height. Hahaha).

I just apply corticosteroids on my rashes every time they appear. The problem is that they sometimes leave scars. So I have to apply whitening lotion din or just sebo-de-macho.

Just avoid those triggering factors of your skin asthma. Just like bronchial asthma, skin asthma has its triggering factors. Mine are dust, leaves, frequent changing of weather, smoke and some foods.

Just continue applying a moisturizing lotion that is prescribed by your doctor.

there is no cure but there are creams to improve your condition. also, do not bathe with hot water as it cause you to itch even more. soaps like dove will help calm the skin irritation.

you can use sudocream. maganda yan sa eczema. gumagamit yung anak ng friend ng mom ko nyan. may kamahalan nga lang.

I am asthmatic too, kaya nung na discover kong may eczema ako, parang naisip ko okay na pala ito kesa yung bronchial asthma ko ang umatake (minsan minsan nalang since tumanda ako). Pangit lang talaga yung ichura pag nag appear eczema ko, but buti may creams na ang bilis magpa heal.

i have skin asthma too pero mas malala ng bata pa ako..as in pati sa scalp ko meron..kabisado ko na tuloy lahat ng gamot para sa mga ganito..haha

pero ngayon wala na masyado except pag nainitan ako tsaka pinapawisan and kapag maalikabok

[Glyzza]

lotion will do... Its true!!!  Tyaga lang...

Maganda ang glutathione sa skin asthma and oatmeal soap. Oatmeal is good for relieving itchness and allergy it aslo protects skin from allergens. May skin asthma din ako and dati pa nga kahit sa extreme heat ng sun nagkaka rashes ako when i was in highschool.

may skin asthma rin ako..eczema.too bad!kaya conscious na ako sa legs ko coz once nakamot ko yun pwedeng umitim and magkapeklat.sabi ng derma ko, talagang babalik at babalik yan.maintain lang ang gamot and pag apply ng creams and lotion na ipprescribe nila.i use clob ointment.

Yeah. Sa akin kase the ones that I listed are my triggering factors.

By the way girls.. Kung makati. WAG NYO KAKAMUTIN. Just try to pat and pat it lang (tapikin or paluin ng slight). Kase the more you scratch it, maslalong magiging itchy. It has physiological explanations na di ko na lang ieexplain kase baka maloka kayo. Hehe.

i also have skin asthma.. ung sa kin naman may tumutubo na red spots.. minsan marami, minsan walang gaano..asa genes ata namin ung asthma, ung sa akin lang napunta sa skin..
pumunta na ako dati sa derma..as usual nagbigay ng gamot.. kaso di ko na ginagamit ngayon kasi bumabalik at nawawala rin ng kusa ung sa akin..tsaka di naman makati..
pero may binigay rin sa kin na gamot yung isang doctor na kakilala namin.. the ointment is betnovate cream..nabibili sa mercury drugs.. yun din nilalagay ko sa mga kagat ng lamok.. di ko lam kung ganun ka-effective yun kasi nga di na ako naglalagay masyado dahil di naman makati yung sa kin tsaka nwawala rin sya ng kusa..
