i’m almost 19. lately the insides of my ankles and feet have been getting very itchy! i thought it was because i had walked around barefoot in the grass a few days ago (i also had several mosquito bites) but they haven’t stopped itching. now i have little white bumps all over when it itches. they’re not gross or anything, just little bumps. it itches usually at night (i wear socks and tennis shoes to work all day) and i usually put benadryl cream on them. i remember when i was little i would wake up with itchy feet on summer nights, too. (it’s summer in kansas right now!) my sister was recently diagnosed with numular eczema, but she doesn’t break out very often. i’ve read that some factors to diagnose it include asthma, light skin and light hair (all of which i have). so, does it sound like eczema or something else? thanks!

My son is scratching himself to death. I have tried everything from hydrocortisone, oatmeal baths, lubriderm creams etc. I do not have medical insurance and cannot afford another trip to the doctor just for them to prescribe hydrocortisone cream that works for a few days and then he has another flare up.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I have been suffering from some sort of hives/eczema for the past few months. I have seen the dr., who couldn’t name a cause but prescribed me prednisone for immflamation. It went down, but started right back up when I finished the prescription.

I’ve kept a careful food/activity/stress journal to try and pinpoint the cause, and the ONLY consistent thing I can find is that it flares up at night, sweating can make it worse, and it gets worse the deeper in ketosis I am.

I have done low-carb for a few years now because my body is very sugar sensitive. A few days ago I went on a short junk food spree- back to eating burgers, sweets, etc, and the eczema on my forehead/around my eyes cleared up. Now I think I am in ketosis (or near) and overnight, the eczema has exploded on my face again.

Anyone have any experience with this? I really do NOT want to have to gorge myself on carbohydrates to clear my skin, I am pre-diabetic as it is, and sugar makes me slow & nearly unable to function at times.

My 15 month old son has patches of eczema on his arms near his elbows and his upper thighs. I have been using Aveeno baby wash, Aveeno baby lotion and Aquaphor ointment. When the patches look really irritated, I put prescription hydrocortisone on it. They look like they clear up for a few days then it flairs up again. Is there any thing more I can be doing?
