Great, and moving, post from our friend, Ruth, at What Allergy for you today and the top ten things that REALLY helped her skin. Thanks for sharing, Ruth – and what a difference, go girl!
Top 10 things that REALLY helped my eczema skin
If you are suffering with eczema, atopic dermatitis or even topical steroid withdrawal, do yourself a favour and use some of these tips.
Meantime, see my Skin Factsheet here and there are lots of posts on skin generally on this blog so do use the search.
My top tip: I have rarely seen a skin condition clear up until someone came off dairy, especially if it started as cradle cap as a baby.
Bonus tip: lower your histamine levels, see here. And mast cells.
Thanks for sharing this Micki, I am learning all the time. I probably need to write a million things I do for my skin book! It’s not an easy fix, it’s a life of tweaking, finding out triggers and learning how to reduce that over all inflammation. i must get on top of diet though, at the moment I’m going for diversity of raw uncooked stuff as much as possible though that costs money. Thanks again for sharing.
Pleasure. I’m sure it will help people. Just one point: many people don’t do well on raw – make sure you are taking some digestive enzymes to break it down. I think what you want is a microbiome mash up, which is what I give my patients to improve their gut.
