I'm taking DD in for her five month immunisations this week so might ask the nurse about it. Cheers for the recommendations, I'll give them a try. ]]> Mon, 19 Feb 2007 10:01:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5761&PID=111236&title=excema-cures#111236 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5761&PID=111099&title=excema-cures#111099 Author: Maya

I got exczema around my engagement ring when I was preg for the first time ever and had to stop wearing my ring and as soon as the gremlins were out it cleared up. So maybe it is hormonal? But I do know that Napisan is a shocker on skin, dries it out something chronic.

I use paw paw ointment on the gremlins and it works beautifully, recommended it to a friend who gets shocking exczema and it worked for her as well.
Also a probiotic powder taken every day helps to heal the exczema from the inside out.

You should try Lucus Paw Paw cream.

Lemnis fatty cream is fantastic and really cheap or free on script from your Dr.
Hope it clears up for you soon!]]> Sat, 17 Feb 2007 17:59:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5761&PID=110963&title=excema-cures#110963 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5761&PID=110898&title=excema-cures#110898 Author: Bizzy

I have found that my eczema does flare up with hormonal changes, stress, lack of sleep. Also constant washing of hands, while hairdressing and after nappy changes, before food prep etc. I had some come up under my ring and found that the skin never got a chance to dry up properly before getting wet again, you could try coating the inside of your ring with clear nail polish - to see if it is a reaction to the metal.
To help with the itch which is insane!!! apart from scratching the layers of skin off to raw you can try cold oats soaked in water, put in muslin(porridge - there is something soothing in it) Pinetarsol - from chemist mixed with some cold milk and just dab it on or soaking in it which works if its hands/fingers. Try to keep your core temp down a bit I have found helps with keeping the itch at bay. If your eczema is of a weepy nature and you are using prescriptions get ointment rather than creams, I have found the water content in the creams can sting and they are not as effective as ointments. Use barrier creams where ever possible, we have found Lemnis fatty cream has been the best so far.
Sorry this is sooooo long, if you would like pm me and I will help if I can]]> Sat, 17 Feb 2007 02:32:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5761&PID=110865&title=excema-cures#110865 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5761&PID=110852&title=excema-cures#110852 Author: Rachael21

Apparently you can develop allergies to rings and I've seen it basically appear out of the blue (no recent life changes) on a friend on mine in the same place. Shewent without rings for a little while and tried them on again once it had cleared, and it all came back. Would pay to ask your Doctor about it at baby's next check-up I think.]]> Fri, 16 Feb 2007 22:01:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5761&PID=110843&title=excema-cures#110843 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5761&PID=110821&title=excema-cures#110821 Author: Mazzy

I had a little bit of excema when I was really young (like, five years old) and haven't had any since, but my dad gets it on his hands really badly. Ever since the birth of my daughter I've had two patches on my hands that won't go away - on the knuckle of my right middle finger and all arouns my left ring finger (can't wear my wedding ring!). Does anyone have a cure or can you suggest what could be causing it? I'm eating the same as before...only things I could think of were Napisan (only used occasionally and surely it would affect more than those two small spots?) and weirdly, breastfeeding? hormones? any ideas? The itching is driving me nuts!]]> Fri, 16 Feb 2007 21:17:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5761&PID=110821&title=excema-cures#110821
