Chronic Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
HI, i am a 30 year old male who is living with chronic Atopic Dermatitis and have had it all my life. I have also had asthma since childhood. For the past 3-4 years, my eczema has really gotten worse. Ironically, 3-4 years ago, i stopped using corticosteroid cream on a regular basis. I have been pretty much off steroid cream since then however, as stated earlier, my eczema has gotten so much worse. When i was younger, the eczema was never this bad. The areas that are affected the most are my face, neck and arms. To start off, i have dry eczema. My face, neck and arms are constantly dry and the skin has become rough and leathery. Not to mention, and moreso on my face (especially on my forehead and cheeks) and arms, i have open cuts that never seem to heal. I also have a rash in the form of tiny bumps and redness on my chest, stomach and inner thighs however not as bad. Also, the rash and scratching on my body has resulted in dark blemishes which also do not seem to go away. The biggest problem i have is that i am constantly itchy and it wont stop especially on my face and arms. Every early morning and evening i find myself scratching these areas heavily and causing it to bleed. As a result, my arms constantly have many open wounds and my face is constantly peeling and there is a crusty type feel on the surface. Also, when i scratch on my face, many time i excrete a clear, slightly yellowish sticky liquid. Some of the triggers are extreme heat( i get worse when i sweat), cold dry air, food allegies (spices, MSG, pretty much all fried and junk food, alcahol,ice cream,chocolate)Also, i find myself more itchy in the evening and nighttime. I tend to feel better when i am in a hot shower. Presently, i am taking sulphur 9LM twice a day (4 pellets each time - total of 8 pellets a day) and 1 dosage (4pellets) of rhus tox in the evening however i do find that i am getting much relief. As well, i am taking zinc citrate tablets (50 mg) and vitamin e (400 i.u.)daily. Please, if anybody can provide some insight and suggest some remedies that might help me eliminate this condition permanently as i have had no luck in the past and am more often than not feeling depressed and losing hope. Thank You.

And if you have any stomach or liver problem or indigestion etc. or ever had.. Also take Lycopodium 6C thrice a day for at least a month.

Who suggested Sulphur LM potencies, and Rhustox to be taken together.
There is no hope for you with these mongrel therapies.
Consult a competent homeopath in person. Read the following link on how to know whether the man you are seeing is a good homeopath or not.

Presently she has eczema around her temples, eyelids, back of the neck, elbows, lower limbs. She scratches her face violently and the little face turns red with red rashes, the spot also heats up. She often gives us sleepless nights and refuses to put on a blanket and her body heat is high.
Recently we decided not to use steroids any longer and switched to evening primrose oil which gave us magical response. This made us believe that our daughter was not able to metabolise linoleic fatty acid to Y-linoelic acid(GLA). We searched some more and it seems lycopodium clavatum 6c could be the start choice for stimulating her liver enzyme functionality.
I am not a homeopath and request some response from this forum so that I could be little more confident. Please let me know if you could help with any thoughts.

The remedy that I prescribe today is Arnica 6c in the Wet dose. A capful of the remedy water is sipped both morning and evening and the remedy water is applied by wetting a cotton pad or the finger tips as often as is possible, directly on the lesions. Many who have used this simple remedy have reported that their itchy, messy Eczema which they suffered from for many years suddenly took a turn for the better in a very short space of time, usually on the third day, when the itchiness left them. They were cured in about a week.
Please follow the instructions that I have given on making the Wet dose on:
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/209116/
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Ethanol pack in a bottle with a dropper arrangement.
If this is not available the Dry dose in pellets may be use but this is not as effective as the remedy in the original Ethanol pack.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops or 5 pellets of the remedy into the bottle and shake it hard to produce bubbles. This is homeopathic succussion and must be done every time before a capful of the bottle which is the dose is taken as directed.
I would appreciate if those who use this simple remedy will please record their response within a week after using this therapy on this Thread.
I would also recommend that members who read this post will use Arnica 30c in the Wet dose just once daily as I have done myself since 1996 and experience for themselves the difference that Arnica will make in their lives. Those who have used it have confirmed that their first impression after their first dose taken just before bed was that they had slept unusually deeply during the night and some have even overslept. Taken over a long period on a daily basis, Arnica opens up the minute capillaries in the arterial system in the body and thereby improves the circulation. It will dissolve cholesterol in about 3 months and its effect will be noticed when one is climbing stairs when one will not be short of breath.

I cannot guarantee that you too will be helped in this miraculous manner but it may be worth your while to follow my therapy precisely and if you use it to report your response in a week. If you do decide to use it you will be expected to stop all medication you may be using today.
♡ Joe De Livera last decade
if u dont mind can u send me the full preparation of the medicine. i will pay whole cost. if u dont mind plz tell me in next post.sir plz save me.sir now i dont know why i am trusting the therapy by u.....

None of the potencies you listed of Arnica can equal the 6c for your Eczema and it is up to you to get it in the Liquid pack in Ethanol.
Spring water = Bisleri bottled water freely available in India.
I can see that you are not reading my posts advising you of the therapy that will help your Eczema. I am copying below my first post to you of December 26 which you must read and follow precisely:
Re: Chronic Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)From Joe De Livera on 2009-12-26
I have had some success in the treatment of chronic Eczema with a remedy that I discovered was far superior to those listed in the standard Homeopathic Materia Medicas and Repertories for this common ailment which is usually very difficult to cure. This therapy can aptly be described as 'Joepathy'

It is now obvious that Arnica is not your remedy after 7 days and you will have to experiment with other remedies like
Petroleum 30, Alumina 30, Graphites 30 which are the remedies I have used whenever Arnica does not help.
You can use them in the Wet dose one at a time in the same Wet dose manner that you used the Arnica 6 and see if they can help you.

pranjit last decade
You suffer from a chronic case of Eczema and it is obvious today that the Graphites did not help you at all.
I would like you to start on the Petroleum 6c in the Wet dose and let us hope and pray that you will respond better.
Please confirm that you are only using the Liquid DIlution of these remedies in Ethanol as the dry pellets are often not sufficiently powerful.
♡ Joe De Livera last decade
Use Petroleum 6c. I had prescribed the 30c in my previous post but this was accidental as the 6c in the Wet dose is far more effective. You will sip a capfull from the bottle twice daily and also apply the remedy water directly on the lesions as often as is possible.
I had a patient who had used a bandage which she had soaked in the remedy and wrapped around her lesions on her foot and by morning she was cured. If you resort to this method you must first experiment by observing how your skin responds during daylight hours as if you do so when sleeping the results can be a disaster if you react.
Like you she responded to Arnica 6c at first but later this was not effective and I gave her Petro 6c in the Wet dose and it worked overnight.

Please use the remedy below as instructed:
Petroleum 1M 3 doses (4 pellets) in 10 minute intervals once weekly. Graphites 30c pellets twice daily on other days.
You will stop the Petroleum 6c both internally and externally.

I am 27 year old male and had atopic dermatitis since I was 1.4 years old, I had times it was worse I had rash on my face and body and dry and scaly skin and times I was totally clean for months and I never paid much attention on thinking what may cause my symptoms so it never had really disappeared. in 2006 when I was 24 it got worse,me and my wife were living in a hotel for a month and eating every morning at the hotels restaurant and I noticed my condition got really bad I was very red in my entire body and fluffy eyes and itchiness which was followed by dryness, and from that moment it just got worse and worse.
I started looking for answers on the internet and found a direct connection between the foods I'm eating and my condition, which helped me but I still did not know what exactly triggers my rashes.
after 6 months I went to see a physician which specializes in natural healing and she told me to start eliminating foods that might be suspicious for triggering and worsening my condition. I discovered that I became sensitive to: Milk, Soy, Eggs, Wheat. so I started a diet without those foods but I wasn't consistent with keeping up with my diet, so when my condition got better I let myself eat foods I'm not supposed to and got the rashes again and went back to elimination diet again and so it went until 10 months ago when my condition got even worse then it was, I discovered I am now sensitive to many more things then just milk, soy, wheat, and eggs, it's also citric acids, and most of the meats like chicken pork and beef, I tried organic chicken and It had no effect on my last time I tried. I feel my condition is deteriorating and I feel very depressed and don't really know what to do.
I am considering seeing an immunologist for this has to do something with the immune system recognizing all these foods as hostile.
please if you can direct me in any direction or recommend any remedies that might help me to get my system at least 50% back to what it was I would be the happiest guy on earth.
Thank you.

The point you made of certain foods predisposing you to Eczema can be the root cause of your ailment. You have already experimented with various foods which you eliminated and discovered that they were indeed the causative factors and it is now in your hands to keep up this discipline to ensure that you keep out of trouble.
You can also use the Arnica therapy that I shall copy below from a previous post on this forum which can also help you as it has helped hundreds of other patients some of whom were desperate for a cure which had eluded the combined efforts of Allopathic physicians, Ayurvedic physicians and later Classical Homeopaths till they discovered that my Joepathy worked the miracle and that in a couple of days after they started on this therapy.

One final point. Do you suffer from GERD or Hyperacidity? Do you experience any discomfort after a meal especially after dinner ? If so for how long have you suffered and what therapy have you followed?
