Eczema Cured !<\/strong><\/p>\n

October 2020<\/p>\n

Earlier this year I wrote that after several miserable years of life destroying eczema on my hands and feet, I had discovered the underlying causes and how to treat them.<\/p>\n

I’m delighted to say my hands are completely cured, and even harsh use DIY projects such as mixing up sand and cement in a bucket are once again possible.<\/p>\n

To keep my hands in tip top condition I must observe a few basic rules such as allways wearing gloves when necessary.<\/p>\n

Thick rubber or gardening gloves are a must for heavy outdoor activities, and indoors gloves are a must for washing up or cleaning, as any contact with detergents must be prevented.<\/p>\n

Always use a skin cleanser for body and hair wash, my favourite is Dermol 500.<\/p>\n

The cure for eczema is sunlight. Upon discovering this I stood on Brighton’s seafront soaking up January’s watery sunshine with five minutes on either side of my hands.<\/p>\n

On a particularly fine day I walked down to the water’s edge and took my shoes and socks off so my feet could enjoy a few minutes of fresh air and sunshine. Within three months all traces of eczema had gone.<\/p>\n

I take a daily dose of vitamin D in the form of a berry flavoured effervescent tablet, as this is what our bodies convert sunlight into.<\/p>\n

In August 2019 my eczema was so bad it felt like my skin was falling off me. The steriod creams I was using thinned my skin and the eczema dried it so it cracked and became infected as well as immensely painful.<\/p>\n

A year later my fingertip pads have regained their elasticity and strength. I can use them again making me feel great.<\/p>\n

I recently had a flare up on my face maybe caused by the winter, central heating or a host of other things. Normally I try to clear it up with just moisturiser cream but this time it was particularly bad.<\/p>\n

So I fell back on a tiny amount of Hydrocortisone 1% cream and sure enough it cured me with in 24 hours.<\/p>\n

But this time I thoroughly washed my hands immediately afterwards. Really, I should have used a plastic bag to protect my finger as it\u00a0is important to protect my hands from\u00a0 steroid creams and ointments.<\/p>\n

Going forward I aim to sunbathe my hands and feet for 10 to 15 minutes every time the winter sun breaks through, take vitamin D daily, and use sparingly use moisturiser with a small top of Hydrocortisone 1% in reserve.<\/p>\n

Eczema is treatable and can be cured.<\/p>\n

Eczema cured!<\/h3>\n
