- Heya,
I didn't mean to upload this video so late but it is finally here.
I missed out soooooo much from this story to keep it short but feel free to ask me any questions.There weren't as many pictures as I would have liked to add but my phone broke a couple days before filming so I couldn't access them all :(
Thank you to everyone who messaged and commented on my previous eczema video and asked for updates.
If you haven't seen my first eczema video you can watch it here:
• Video
I had to chop this video out like crazy because it was so long so I'll do a separate video on skin brushing as well as creams and oils that have helped but in the meantime; if you would like to buy the skin brush I use, you can find it here:

Im 18 and i have had eczema for my whole life. When I was younger it used to be really good and now it has covered at least 80% of my skin and I have really low self esteem because of it. I always wear long sleeves and if I am wearing a vest top or short sleeve I always have a hoodie or coat and I never take it off. Watching this video has given me so much confidence. I always turn down traveling to hot countries because of what I would have to where and it has taken a really big toll on my life. I have always avoided relationships with boys because I'm afraid of them seeing my skin and it's been hard. But watching this has made me realise I'm not alone. So TO THANK YOU SO MUCH XX
ShadyBļeu Samuels I relate 100%, I’m 17 and I’ve also had it my whole life. My eczema was also quite good when I was younger, I practically had clear skin everywhere, but it’s gotten worse as I’ve grown and with that my confidence has gone out the window. I never wear short sleeves, I hate going to school everyday because I am so self conscious of people looking at me. It’s been hard :(
I relate to your stories, girls. I’m 20 years old, I’ve had eczema all over my body since I was 8. I’ve been through the wearing long sleeves, wearing scarves to cover the back of my neck, avoiding boys, all of that. Went from dermatologist to dermatologist. I still have eczema but I want to tell you that it gets better. Keep watching Joanne’s videos and implementing the practices. My confidence is higher than its ever been (despite still having the occasional flare up) and I have a boyfriend who has seen my skin. Don’t let this be thing to bring down your sense of self worth ❤️
Thank you so much for your encouraging stories and it’s an actual relief to know that I’m not alone. And I really want to gain confidence more than anything but it’s easier said than done. I only feel like myself when I go to my home country in the Caribbean and I’m able to feel the sun in my skin without a care. But I just feel like it’s never going to go away. Cos I’ve tried everything 🤷🏾♀️
Hey, I am 21 and been dealing with it all my life too. Im currently stopping my steroids so I can fully heal. Check out Zainab TSW journey. She's an Londoner whose journey has really helped me out and ive cried so many times because her content is so relatable. It was great seeing a black woman go through a journey like that like I am, when I was young I felt alone alot. I wish I had known about this community when I was younger. I wish y'all the best, it gets better🖤
I have suffered with eczema since I was a baby and I know exactly how you feel when it comes to it. My eczema has flared up the worst than ever and I’m getting all these scars and this video really hits home. I’m starting to get to the point where I don’t want to go out and see anyone I know or hangout with people.
It is not easy to not feel truly comfortable and confident in the skin you are in. I do not have your exact condition but I battle with my own insecurities. You should be proud that you were brave enough to share yours with the world. You are beautiful!
thank u so much. ur support means a lot ❤️❤️
I found your channel through your doll house review and had a look through all your videos, and I have to say you are so genuine and transparent and I want you to succeed and grow so much! Continue to share your story your experience! Can’t wait to see you grow and shine! God bless you Hun ❤️
aww another joanna! thank u so much for ur comment that really touched me! i hope my channel grows too. i have another channel that i had to stop using. havent decided what to do yet but i will be back uploading vids from this week! ❤️❤️
Eczema is ugly, you are not. You are an overcomer and I see a beautiful wise and humble person who is a Rose in his garden. You will help others on this journey we call life. I have been where you have been trust me. You ARE BEAUTIFUL Sis. Embrace it xx. Jacqui
thank u so much 😭❤️
I super understand I have eczema and I didn’t even know it
@@s.kintuition stay strong I have it too and it’s really irritating
Hello Joanne,
Its almost uncanny how similar my story is to yours...from the hair loss to weight loss, the emotional mumble jumble, not wanting to do anything, peeling scales of my hair, taking forever to get up, mouldy room.....its almost like you are telling my experience.
I feel soooooo blessed to have found your Topical Withrawal video about a week ago! I am sure God led me to it and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your story.
I hopeful I can get some guidance from you as I am in a somewhat confused state.
I have sent a detailed message through your blog (I hope you get it). I will also send you a message on Instagram.
God bless you!
This was so encouraging, I have been feeling so down about my eczema xxx You literally had the same process as me
I have subscribed xxxx
aww thank u. where are u at in your journey? is it any better now?
I don't usually comment but I just wanted to thank you for being brave and sharing your story. I have watched a few of your videos and it's wonderful to see you happier on this journey. I really hope you heal soon! I don't have eczema myself so I do not know exactly what your are going through. The most I get is very dry skin especially on my hands which sometimes has tiny tears, and my lips get so dry they sometimes just start to bleed all by themselves which is awkward when you are in public and someone tells you that your lips are bleeding lol. Anyways, I just wanted to share what has helped me so far relieve the dry skin which is SUPERDRUG MY LITTLE STAR NIPPLE CREAM. The main ingredient is glycerine which honestly feels sticky but nothing has ever made my skin feel so supple and saved me from chronic ashiness. I have tried diet changes, oils upon oils upon oils, diy concoctions, even ran back to vaseline at one point.... anyways, its been one hell of a journey but I stumbled upon an amazing lady who told me to use bepanthen to heal my skin, and while that helped, it was too sticky and greasy so I went out on a whim and tried the Superdrug My Little Star New Mum Nipple Cream (used mainly at night, sometimes with bepanthen plus when I've picked on my skin and caused scabs). So far so good - just try it for a week, It's so inexpensive that if you hate it, you can just throw the tube away. If you like it and want something more natural, just buy and incorporate glycerine in your DIY products. Anyways, sorry for the essay - i just wanted to share what has helped me. Good luck and keep shining!!
hey gloria! thank u for the long comment it means alot that you would sit down and write it. i might give it a try depending on what ingredients are in it because im very fussy about what i put on my skin. we’ll both get there!! x
This video helped me to build my confidence I have eczema and I sometimes feel insecure I don't have it on my scalp but I have it on the insides of my arms and legs for anyone who feels insecure my mum always said in order to be yourself you need to embrace it ❤
aww love im sorry to hear that. i know what u mean about feeling insecure. sometimes its really hard for me but u can get through. my skin has healed almost completely just by making a few changes to my diet.
Subscribed. Thank you for sharing your testimony with courage, honesty, transparency, being vulnerable to help others in our communities. This is admirable and so beneficial. I pray that your endeavors reach the masses to assist in our transformation and restoration. Blessings to you.
thank u so much. i really appreciate your kind words 🤎🤎
Sending you love and hugs. I've been through the same in the past. It really does get you down. Glad you've found something that works for you ❤️
I cannot believe that I am just seeing this video! I have been struggling with the same type of eczema since 2015 althought i have had very little eczema since i was young. Since 2015 i have had the flare ups and i have travelled everywhere and kept being prescribed steroid creams, tablets and as of 1 year ago i stopped and couldn't take it anymore. Its the most uncomfortable, life stagnating experience. Im finally on natural products and on a new diet. Im still on my journey and recently had a flare up and i feel like im almost back to where i was. Anyways thank you so much for sharing! I have been looking for someone i can relate to forever. You have made such a difference for me today! Bless💛
aww thank u so much for this message. im sorry to hear you’ve been going through this as well but it can and will get better. if u message me on instagram or email i can send u some bits that have really helped me! ❤️❤️
@@s.kintuition Awww thanks hun. Will mesage you on IG.
Thank you for sharing your story I didn’t know people went through the same severity of eczema I did.Your absolutely gorgeous and your eczema just proves how strong your are.I believe eczema although it may seem like a curse it is just God giving us strength to have to overcome this so we are stronger.
God bless you! 💕
thank u so so much for ur kind words. GOD is definitely in control! ive learnt so much and changed so much throughout this process
Thats a good way to look at it ,I to am a eczema sufferer ive dealt with infected eczema that covered a large sum of body in the past i had too take antibiotics along with a strong cream it helped a lot but even still my skin has never been the same every since i got a secondary infection, my skin breaks out in areas that it never use too. Having this skin condition makes me not enjoy being around people because of course there are a lot of ignorant people who dont know or understand the disease. When my skin breaks out really bad i too shut down a lot. Thanks too the internet i have realize over the years that im not the only one who have dealt with or who is dealing severe eczema. Wish everyone who is dealing with any kind of condition the best!💙
I saw, and I understood and I'm just grateful that you are coming back to your old self. I resonate so much with what you said and how you felt. I said to a friend just yesterday that you have no idea who is drawing courage and strength from you and your situation that causes you to cry in your secret place. You see yourself struggle and they see you fighting/succeeding. If it wasn't for you, last year would have been so dead for me towards the end...you were thinking of me even though you were sick...anyways, love you cuzzie....you were always beautiful and still are! #onlypengtingsinmycamp 💞💕
Mimi Osei thanks for making me emotional loool. it means a lot that you feel that way. thank u for all your support too. you've been amazing ❤️❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your story❤️ it is not easy! I can't believe how many people is suffering from eczema and I'm glad there's people sharing information like you do 💪🏾💪🏾
Johanna Mendez thank u so much girl ♥️
Love you girl ❤️❤️❤️ you’re such a strong woman
I found your channel because someone told me to look into Medical Medium. That’s how I saw the one about the selery juice and I’ve seen a few more already. Your story is my story. I’m in the middle of a flare up that has been building up since february. I’ve hardly slept in weeks. It’s such a hard disease to live with. Anyway, I think you’re beautiful and your videos have made me feel emotional but also a little better. 🍀
i really hope so! dnt be discouraged but hopefully i can help somehow too! ❤️
Wow the transparency in which you share your story is only one that can be admired. I haven't been through anything like this so can only imagine but I definitely felt it through your words! The physical and emotional transition must be so taxing and draining. What i was left with from your vid is to remember to always be kind. Seriously, you don't know know what people are going through behind closed doors. It's a must. Wishing and praying for a speedy recovery. Well done to you for taking control of your diet and well-being. I hope others going through this also find comfort and support from your vid. Sending Lots of love girl xxx
thanks soo much dee. ye its not been easy but i hopefully it will get there in the end. your so right though. even me going through it has made me more sensitive to other peoples struggles. and as hard as it is i have to still be grateful. ❤️❤️
I'm so glad I found your channel!
aww thank u love that means alot ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story! I can relate to your story so much.
thank u love and ur welcome! i hope ur better now xx
I have been there in almost exactly the same situation having to go to work with a huge eczema flare up all over my body and face. I felt exactly the same way you describe. Its a horrible feeling. Im so glad you have your channel here and are providing valuable information for others in a similar situation. I was lucky to find an alternative doctor through a recommendation who slowly helped me to heal my skin through diet from this point to clear in a couple of months. You are talking so much sense on this channel. Xx
thank u so much i really appreciate it ❤️
So happy for you...you look great!
thank u so much!! thanks for subscribing aswell ❤️
Joanna, I just found your channel today in my desperation and temptation to use steroid cream as i am going through a similar excema flare up all over me and i can so relate right now. Thank you for sharing your story. The fact I found your channel I feel was God sent.
Blessings
Connecting to Insta now.
I’m trying hard to be strong and keep the faith🙏🏽
Thank you so much for your videos. I too have eczema and am working on the healing process as well. Just remember it’s temporary and we will get through it
yes definitely. but u know how hard it gets sometimes ❤️😘
Yes indeed. Like mentally it is exhausting as well as physically. I hate it because I know that we are strong and we know what we are capable of, but man I didn’t think eczema could be this much of a b&$#% lol. I’m finally healing too and all I have to do next is fade my scars. Glad your getting back on track with your daily life 👏🏽😊. For a second I almost forgot what normal was lol, but now I know 🙌🏽
ye exactly. last week i had a little flare up and looks to me like the eczema is getting better and worse at the same time. im so confused and a bit fed up but i have to remind myself it is definitely getting better because it’s nowhere near what it was. we’ll definitely get there! 🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️
I just love you wow this is big inspiration !!!!!!!
thank u so much! ❤️
i cried watching this
pls try vaseline and eczema hun...i suffered from aggressive eczema as well .... my skin reacts to any chemicals etc
You're beautiful. Thank you for the video. I have eczema all over my body since I was 6. It's a struggle
oh no. im so sorry to hear that. my eczema is nearly all cleared up just through diet. if u message me on instagram i can talk u through step by step what to do. ❤️
I love how you tell us to subscribe so we can see where we started our journey together.
thank u babe!! ❤️❤️
Subscribed and loving this
thank u so much. i really appreciate it ❤️
Tired videos are so inspiring I’ve had eczema’s since I was around 3 years old it’s got worse since reaching my twenties & my immune system was so destructive it almost killed me my skin was extremely black, purple & cut severely all over I’ve had every immunosuppressant available & have had to stay in hospital for the last 8 years this year I started dupixent but my dietary intolerances are worse & my skin has severe hyperpigmentation my skin is smoother but I’m getting breakouts in new places every few months & i’m very depressed as I’m unsure what to eat & what I can add hi my cream to help with hyperpigmentaton I just want to have my naturals colour back plz can you give me some advice
hiiya. your situation sounds very severe. im really sorry that you are suffering the way you are. try not to stress too much as this can make matters worse but main foods to focus on are raw fresh fruits and veg that if possible are organic. focus on eating clean without any processed foods or ingredients.
completely cut out gluten. dairy. corn. eggs and non organic soy. if u can send me a dm on my instagram so i can help u a bit more. ♥️♥️
I relate to this story so much
OMG this is where I am with my eczema 😩
Chocolate goddess just simply beautiful!
oh gosh. thank u so much 🙈🙈
No, this is THE STORY OF MY LIFE !
Have you considered doing coffee enemas? They’re very effective in cleansing and detoxifying the body look into it ❤️
hiiya love. i have seen alot about especially on rob stuarts page but i opted for a full colonic rather than a coffee enema. i just cudnt bring myself to do it tbh. 😅
Omg same I have it all over my body
It’s red and scaly but if I moisturise it for like a week it turns black/grey
It gets worse by stress I’ve noticed as when I start crying cuz of my condition and cry for a few days my eczema flared up but as soon as I stop my prescribed cream it gets worse again. My first dermatologist appointment is in 2 weeks so hopefully my doc will help me but ik i need to change my diet cuz my bro is a doc and he says to change my diet.maybe cuz I’m a teenager I’m going through changes so I had eczema as a result of everything. I just really wanna feel beautiful again and I don’t wanna be feeling pain physically and emotionally anymore
I’m only 15 so it’s really hard for me as I had physical education in school where I had to wear a t shirt for uniform so my arms show but because I feel ugly and I don’t want everyone to question what’s wrong with me I wear a shirt underneath.
It’s on my face too but not that visible when it doesn’t flare up
I’m so thankful for u being here sharing ur experience cuz I don’t feel alone anymore❤️❤️❤️
im so sorry to hear yr suffering like this. it can definitely get better girl. i know its easier said than done but ignore the flares and just enjoy life. whatever is comfortable for u wear it. those that love and care about u will understand. noone else really matters❤️
Joanne RH aweee thank you so much. Ur such a beautiful person like I have nothing to say ur just amazing. Outer beauty is something but ur just genuinely great inside out. Thanks once again for ur content and support❤️
Dua Zaidi thank u babe. im on instagram so if u ever want to talk u can dm me x
Joanne RH I don’t have Instagram...15 so My parents said I’m not allowed 😂😂😂 otherwise I definitely would have❤️❤️
Hallelujah! 🙌
Digestscure works wonders with my skin
Exactly me every morning
if u like i can help u? ill be doing another update video with my progress my eczema is almost gone!
Good video and I've had bad eczema for years and getting worse on my neck,face arms and legs. Any tips you can give me In list form. Thanks
im so sorry to hear that david? can u DM me on my instagram?
Skin on my hands and feet peel off. Any tips?
I know how you feel, when you talk about being confidence & having eczema . It’s on my neck , my hands & fingers , arms etc . I can’t stand how it looks . I’ve used steroid cream, lotions etc nothing helped . I just kind of ran out of options and just gave up tbh
im so sorry to hear that. it takes a really long time to heal but u can get rid of it permanently by changing ur diet. cut out dairy meat and gluten first and then watch out for any other triggers. eat more fruit and veg. try as much as u can to keep fruits organic. i promise u it will heal itself❤️
Hi sis you are amazing i had hand eczema due to my OCD of excessively hand washing my hands got really bad but now they are way better than before but now my cuticles and skin around my nails get effected and it is very tender to touch one of my cuticle of my finger is gone due to trauma and nail got hurt...does cuticle grow back...and sis skin around my nail got hyperpigmentation it looks different from rest of my hand i had dyshidrotic eczema but it is 99 percent healed but it left my skin sooo weak....i get really depressed due to scars it left...on my cuticles my mom cooks as i feel scared to go near fire as it might make my hyperpigmentation worse need your prayers May all those who are suffering from minor to major Problems get fully healed and cured By the will of Lord of heavens and the earth Ameen
amen girl. im not too sure about cuticles but the hyperpigmentation can definitely heal over time.
@@s.kintuition thank you so much sis for replying stay blessed ❤
Hey lady did you hear about the product Dupixent? It is suppose to help out people with severe to mild case of eczema
heyy hun. no i havent but ive committed to healing my eczema with just diet and so far its working ! ♥️
Ok what diet are you doing I may have to follow up with that? My eczema was fine then boom it started flaring up 😞. I’m proud of you!!! And I’m glad your feeling a lot better
thank u hun! can u message me on instagram. ill send u all the details on there! ♥️
I subscribed, I love you
thank u!! 😅😅❤️❤️
Hi Joanne,
I myself have eczema too and i chanced upon your video. Can i know how do you remove hyperpigmentation from the body? A few months back it was darker but it is lighter now. Any ways on how to lighten it and make it vanish completely?
Heya! The hyperpignentation you are experiencing will slowly fade when your skin begins to heal so focus on that and the reat will go naturally
I also suffer with eczema & have since a new born. What I’ve found that has worked for me is a whipped butter that I make myself it includes:
Shea Butter
Coconut Oil
Black castor oil
Vitamin E oil
Extra virgin olive oil
Tea tree oil
Cocoa butter
It is specific measurements you use when creating this bc some can be harmful if too much is used for ex. (Tea Tree). I use a hand mixer to properly mix & after a shower I pat dry and apply before bed. It has evened my skin tone very well. Lastly it was not used on my face.
I subscribed!
aww thank u babe ❤️❤️❤️
I went through TSW it was bad. However, I found that I was highly allergic to wool. I had to stop wearing all wool, cashmere, or alpaca products and monitor all skin irritants i.e chemicals as best possible. Not saying this is the sole cause of your eczema but give it a try to see if it helps. In addition, I got rid of all parabens, phalates, and fragrance from all products that I put on my body. I use Avalon Organics therapy cream its thick last all day and does not contain any of the above things i want to avoid. I found avveno caused me problems and did not last all day. These are just friendly suggestions and advice. It took nearly 2 years for my skin to normalize and their is a significant difference in my skin appearance. I just refused to give in to returning to steroids and it paid off. I see you have the right attitude and I know you will prevail. Wising you the best. STAY COMMITTED!!
its so crazy that u said that because today i put on a wool jumper and the skin all over my neck went crazy. i cnt believe it tbh. ill have to watch what i put on my skin now in terms of clothes. i never noticed that before.! thank u !
Your welcome. I would have same reaction on my neck its crazy huh. I believe its the lanolin (in sheep's wool) and the rough texture in the others. Regardless of how soft its been processed i.e merino or cashmere. I have to stay completely away from it. :)
ive definitely started reading labels since. thank u so much for highlighting this. most of my clothes are wool. look at my dress in this video for instance! haha.
pls try vaseline and eczema hun...i suffered from aggressive eczema as well .... my skin reacts to any chemicals etc
What is the treatment..i cnt understand your english.. please tell me here by simple english
diet and exercise x
Have you tried changing your diet. Vegetarian diet. My brother has it really bad and he changed his diet and completely cleared his skin
heyya. my skin is almost 100% better now. i went plant based and ate more raw veg and added herbs etc and the skin just healed. thank u though ♥️♥️
I HV excem on my hand n just behind my foot n it is kinda getting better but how to get the Blackness to go help Mii please 😭😭😭😭😭
The darkness takes time. Focus on eating the best foods for the skin.
avocado
mangoes
apples
papaya
It’ll get better in time!
Thx 😊 so much I know it is going to process but I am up for it once again thank you 😊
I would like to say
Rob Stuart went carnivore 😲🤯
I don’t have IG lol I have a snap chat
oh man....ok send me ur email address. ♥️
It is brodrigues206@gmail.com

thank u! 👏🏾👏🏾
i feel you! currently dealing with it too but im on a new cleansing regime. you should watch ALL of rob stuart and eczemahealing.org videos on youtube! also susan valkai
heyya. sorry to hear that ur currently going through it :(. what are u doing at the moment and how is it helping? also i think i’ve watched them all minus one or two and his videos have helped me so so much!
yeah they are great. the hardest thing is going through the big flare up at the beginning (the healing crisis) which I'm going through now. im 3 weeks in and unsure how long it will last for :( but anyway, epsom salt baths with some oil (i use almond oil) and some sea salt and tea tree to help prevent it getting infected helps. i usually put tea tree oil on my face to prevent infection too as i was once hospitalised for a week because of a bad infection. i make a calendula and chamomile infused rose hip oil for my face too and use aloe vera gel from holland and barrett. if i'm honest it doesn't matter what i do, its uncomfortable. my skin decides when i can chill and not be itchy. im going to start my enemas and juicing next week! im currently eating vegan with no oil, sugar or alcohol. is your eczema really bad now?
I have excema as well. I feel you. Great vid. Lets support each other. Check out my content.
thank u. will do!
Joanne RH thanks for your support
