Ouch, hope you feel better soon.

You know.... in all the years I've had it.. I've never thought of that. I avoid moisturizers cos they burn..

I can't believe I never thought of this.... thanks!!

They make aloe vera gel with lidocain for sunburns. it will moisturize and numb the area so it wont burn. Before you ask, no I am not a plant of the sunburn ointment coalition :p

My wife got some too and the best way to counter act it and prevent having it in the first place. Lower your stress to a minimum always wear glove when it cold and like other said use aloe hand cream

Also try creamed petroleum jelly.

No chemicals in it to make it sting and it does wonders by retaining skin moisture.

Having skin problem too, I understand the disconfort it can bring! I hope it'll heal soon!

My parents make a soup that helps with that.oo

any typo ofid? O..o and worst....artist hand O..o

i get eczema a lil here and there, but never like that, i hope you feel better!!! i know a pretty strict raw vegetarian diet makes mine go away. its pretty hard to stick to, but when i get it real bad i try and do it for about 2-3 weeks, and it almost completely clears up. (i don't like using meds, so diet is the way to go for me)

hope you can feel better sooner rather than later.

the only bad thing with raw aloe is the smell.

Raw aloe doesn't really smell of anything at all, at worst you might smell kind of grassy if you sniffed your hand or whatever.
Been using it for 20 years for sunburns, the same plants too =p

well, then the one that grows near my home must be a new variant, because the "juice" of it smells like armpits after a long session of workout.

You sure someone isn't just loading on some fertilizer on them or anything? (Not like they need any being a desert plant)

try hydrocortizone cream if you can get it. Also keep it clean so it doesn't get infected. I also find exposure to sunlight helps it as well.

Ack, that's awful D: Hope you're feeling better soon! *hug*

Hope you feel better soon.

Oh yeah, this is what people want to see mixed in with their furry porn.

I have it pretty bad on my forehead and my doctor prescribed me an expensive ointment and it works but it's prescription only. I'm going to try out the aloe vera treatment and see how well it works.

*Hugs and offers Aloe*
I hope it heals and gets better.

I got huge aloe plant , you may need fungal rub as it could be fungus as well(its not as uncommon to have fungal skin infection as most think , most of time it dont spreads , is small , and goes away)

luckyly both things who will help is cheap , you will need as well rub with glyceryl(i hope i spelled it good) to help regenerate skin

Ahh I have the same problem Dx

I had a case almost half that bad on my palms that lasted for a few years while I was unemployed (don't judge) once I got a job all the natural exfoliation just seemed to cure it or it could be the fact I got pneumonia from the previous lack of contact with people and was on antibiotics that helped.

Probably a combination of the two

If that happens everytime you try to draw boobs , I understand why you focused on butts XD

Sounds like the others beat me to the best treatment.
I hope you're doing better quickly.
Please take care and be safe.

that looks so untreated. go get some moistureiser and keep using it un till its gone

I have it bad on my big toe, I use Cetaphil cream to moisturize when the cracking and bleeding gets unbearable. Need to get to my Dr. and have some steroid cream prescribed.

That must have hurt a lot... :(

Ouch I'm getting the same thing this past couple years or so, around my eyes as well. Seems its trial and error cause everyones reacts to a different treatment. Mine starts going away when I mix hydrocortizone and antibacterial then follow with a moisturizer once those settle in but even then sometimes it just wants to have its way :( Will have to try some Aloe though never thought of that.

Like they all say, hun, Aloe vera gel pure with lidocain, or sraight form the plant. *snugs* And it's not TOO bad. I've seen a LOT worse.

Hey, I know how something like this can make you miserable and seriously if you haven't looked into it, try cutting ALL corn products out of your diet. My mate suffers terrible reactions to corn that cause him awful pain. Tried many different medications, was diagnosed as having numerous as having several different chronic illnesses (fibromyalgia, etc.) but the treatment was ineffective and had unpleasant side effects. He also thought he had gluten allergies and gave up all wheat in his diet, but later found that it was just corn causing his problems.

There is almost no non-gmo corn grown in the US and Canada UNLESS specifically marked as such in products and foods in stores and in restaurants. There are many accounts of corn causing eczema (just search for "corn allergy eczema") and many other immune system responses as an allergy or intolerance when consumed. The reason I mention gmo corn is because of the reckless manner in which this plant was developed that has not only not received rigorous testing before being planted over vast areas of North America but derives its modified genetic material from a bacteria-- the introduction of which is suspected of producing a of host of enzymes and proteins whose effects on people are largely unknown. This means that the corn in almost all foods is different from that which evolved side by side with humans in significant ways that we may not be adapted to. More and more I have been finding that problems people have with allergies and pain often are related to corn in their diets.

When my mate eats corn that is *not* genetically modified, he does not develop the symptoms he gets from common commercial food products. He has had to test many products to see if they contain hidden corn in the starch or maltodextrin or other components such as "modified food starch" or corn oil. Avoiding corn can be difficult as restaurants are often not able to be certain their dishes not contain it. It can be in marinades, sauces, thickeners and a host of other smaller additives in their dishes. All corn syrup, oil, starch, sweetener (maltodextrin and others), corn meal, corn flour and of course products chiefly comprised of corn like chips, certain cereals and the like would be things to avoid if you try to see if this is where the problem comes from.

It is definitely worth looking into, I have had some bad flare-ups of atopic dermatitis (eczema) where half of my fingers were in bandages for months so I know all too well how miserable it can make a person feel. Finding the root cause of the problem, such as an allergy is the best outcome as it avoids the application of steroid cremes (which damage collagen over time) or oral steroids which are immuno-suppressive and can cause a lot of other problems in the long term. As you mention that you immune system hates you, a suspicion of a food or contact allergy should be very high and it may be causing you other problems which are less noticeable but unpleasant as well.

For your own well-being, try altering your diet for a week or two and see if that helps, or have yourself tested for corn allergy by a dermatologist. Don't rule out stress which appeared to have been a factor for myself. Maybe the cause can be found. I hope this may help. =3

Feel better soon!

y...you too??? I...is that atopic dermatitis? I... i had my last attack three weeks ago... both legs still putting my skin back together...

Yeah, eczema is fun, not.

I used a cream my doctor gave me a sample of, cleared it up!

I get that too..

I've managed to chase mine away with an ointment sample my doctor gave me. Keeps trying to come back, a little schmeer and that keeps it in check.

Get back in the ring, champ. You're night's only begun. >:I *inspirational montage music*

Ouch, just ouch.
