Eczema on the Unmentionable Areas

person holding a hand cream

I come across this quite a lot in patients - but never in the first consultation as people are too embarrassed by it, which is a shame. I'll leave it to our friend Ruth at What Allergy to explain as she's done a great piece about it (see below). The only thing I'd add is …

Can A Placebo Help Allergy Symptoms?

Well it seems it can according to this latest study on patients with allergic rhinitis and skin disorders (hives, itching, soreness). Expectations and Placebo Effect in Allergic Rhinitis Even though people knew they were taking a placebo and the pills were labelled as such, symptoms improved within a few days. It didn't seem to matter …

Baby Wet Wipes Allergy Link

I have always hated wet wipes. Sure, they are convenient, but at what chemical cost, I have always thought? I have written before about the importance of keeping the skin barrier intact, especially in eczema cases, and now we have a study suggesting using baby wet wipes can damage that barrier and lead to food …

Vitamin D Aids Skin Barrier Repair

I'm always on the look-out for things that help repair the body barriers such as leaky gut, leaky blood-brain barrier, leaky skin (think allergic dermatitis, eczema etc). So, I was interested to see this early research on Vitamin D for sunburn. High doses apparently helped lower inflammation, which the researchers expected, but they were surprised …

Silver Clothing For Eczema

This is an interesting approach for those of you with infected eczema who maybe can't tolerate the usual approaches. I was chatting to a lovely lady, J, the other day who was telling me about her severe issues and how she resolved it as she had not responded well to antibiotics or supplements. I asked …

Eczema Set Off By Reaction To Haptens

Eczema and food allergy--is there a causal relationship? This new paper is saying that eczema may not be an IgE allergy but may actually be a delayed or cytotoxic reaction to haptens, smaller molecular components in foods and substances. Er, that's intolerance then, isn't it?! It does make me laugh when researchers state something as …

Eczema Creams Make It Worse

For years doctors have advised patients with eczema to use a cheap emollient cream, but researchers have now discovered that aqueous cream BP can make the condition worse.  I have been saying this for years, of course, (see my article link below) and feel pretty smug that tests are now bearing me out. Tests show a …
