Thanks for your helpful tips. Your videos have really helped me learn alot of things and have helped me take better care of myself.
Thanks for commenting Jessie, really glad I have helped :)
I have some helpful tips as someone who has eczema:
Keep your nails very short
Do not have long hot showers, keep them short and warm temperature
Do not use shower gels/soaps that are stripping, contain SLS and contain fragrance - use something like Aveeno body wash
Stay clean and keep your clothes clean (Wash them with hypo-allergenic detergents)
Wash your hands with Dermol 500 Lotion (not the regular hand soaps, they dry out the skin and cause flare ups)
Avoid fragrance at all costs, especially in skincare, candles, perfumes etc.
Apply cream to body straight after showering while body is still damp, it helps trap in the water, I like Eucerin
A cool mist humidifier is great to have in your bedroom to keep the skin hydrated
Do not wear wool or other irritating materials
Know what you are allergic to so you can avoid - you can get allergy tested with a dermatologist
If you use steroid creams, use a very thin layer for a short amount of time as they can thin the skin.
Hope this helps someone!
Thanks for commenting Maays, this was an excellent read :) Thank you for all the insight I loved reading this :)
@@AbrahamThePharmacist You are so welcome! I just hope my tips can help someone who is suffering
Thanks maays
I will give it a try 🙂
Tysm I've had eczema since I was 4 now I'm 12 and now i know how to treat it😊😍
Literally at night is when my eczema starts to itch every night. But throughout my whole day it doesn’t itch at all. It’s always at night for me
Do you tend to eat in your bed
I had the same exact problem and I can tell you the cure for Eczema is the SUN. Also, Eczema suffers have too much acid in their blood therefore they need to be on a Alkaline diet. Follow this protocol for HEALING and in the meantime if you need something for bedtime you can take an antihistamine such as Claritin and if you still have flare ups ask your doctor to prescribe you Singulair to take with it. Thanks, God Bless
Same for me to. I lose alot of sleep
The best way to stop that is don’t use your phone for a hour before bed and drink a blend of fruit juice I drink one beetroot, cut a little papaya, handful of blueberries and a celery stick with half a green apple and a hour before bed I sleep much better now
@@mariabenjamin8018 do explain by what you mean that the sun is the answer for eczema? I've been told to avoid having the sun hit my exzema
sometimes i think about just cutting off my hands
@@lukewarmfacts5107 Guillotine
You'd eventually find something else to itch with. Like rubbing it on a wall or something.
This disease is horrific. It drives us to that point sometimes.
I have it on my face and it’s disgusting sometimes . Now it’s cleared up though , but eczema attacks my fresh tattoos now which is nightmare
makes me want to cut my fingers off
Two things that really helped my eczema: cold showers and a weekly, 10 minute ice bath.
Oopss.really?ice bath
Cold tends to make mine worsened
Leno my eczema feels like torture anyway, sooo 😬. But, I’m also allergic to the cold and get hives, so I don’t think ice baths would help lmao
Yes warm baths trigger my eczema
I use ice baths for my shin splints because i Run cross-country. I also have dry skin and they really help with that aswell
Eczema is a gut problem, not a skin problem. My eczema disappeared by eating healthy, taking probiotics, and lots of patience.
You got the answer of the problem. This video has no useful information.
My cousin is healthy asf and still has it
Well I eat normal and healthy and I still have it and I think it’s bc in school my skin irritates because of how much hand sanitizer I use to keep myself safe.
@@stxrblossoms1070 you can wear gloves and use the hand sanitizer on your gloves not your hands
This is subjective. I have tried the diet fads, the celery juice, the black seed cure, going on a water fast. None of tht made a difference. Why? Because my condition is strongly rooted genetically and uncontrollable inflammation which comes when it wants to irrelevant to lifestyle choices.
yay early squad. Fantastic video. Pharmacists are experts in recommending the best skin care products as we are taught and trained in pharmacy school how to formulate different dermatological products.
Thanks for commenting Joseph, nicely said as always my good sir :)
I've spent years feeling down about my eczema and honestly its been getting worse. This has been really informative and along the lines of what my GP once told me years ago. I'm ready to ask my pharmacist for the best possible way to control the condition. Thanks.
Edited: Also, I'm surprised to hear about the sample packs you mentioned. I would've loved the opportunity to try those, I've spent a lot of money trying different kinds of emollients for most of my adult-life.
Thanks for commenting T K - Glad I could help :)
I hope you never stop doing these helpful videos.
This is the second problem you've helped my family deal with successfully. And with all of the stress the worlds going through, and social distancing etc, its not always easy to get advice from your local pharmacist.
So its great to get advice from a UK pharmacist you can trust.
From my wife and myself, thank you. 👍
Thanks for commenting, glad I could help and sending awesome vibes :)
Finally somone who is making useful content 🙏🏻 appreciated
Glad you liked it!
Hey Abraham
What is a good treatment for dry scalp and milia
Hi Abraham this is a great video thank you very much for putting in the big effort and time to make this possible!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this all these fab tips!
Thanks for commenting Britt, glad I could help :)
@@AbrahamThePharmacist you're truly a light in the world sharing these things for us all to learn, be educated about. Thanks again! 🌞
Thank you so much for this video!Was insightful!!
You are so welcome!
Wow the recommended usage for emollient is 500g a week. I can barely get through half of that in over a month. Thank you for this advice Abraham.
Thanks for commenting Monjo Ali UK, yes this is the guidance - Glad I could help :)
Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for commenting Cloud Strife - Glad I could help :)
hey i was wondering if i can use cetaphil as a cleanser since its recommed for people with eczema
hes FAR better than any doctor ive had from the NHS!
Glad I could help
Thanks for sharing us good things we love you dr ❤️🔥💋
I'm an American, and I don't think most of us over here have a clue what "emollient" means in British English. In fact, the first several times you said it, I thought you were telling me to put ammonia on my eczema, which did not seem like good advice.
While combing my hair comes out so it means hair fall ?
I found using a Ceramide based cream on damp skin straight out the shower has made the biggest impact and avoiding known irritants. Check out the local nhs formulary as they often list each product by ingredients known to be irritating. And remember the nhs will give you the cheapest version first, whether or not that contains irritants like triethalamine (spelling)
Which cream do you use?
Thanks for commenting Ginger Badjie, very useful information :)
Maays for washing I use bioderma shower oil, body cream I’m using a Korean brand called Illiyoon ato concentrate cream on the body and topped with cerave in the big pot and also Cetraben emoilent 😻
epimax cream is best. my gp prescribed me that
How do u heal eczema damaged skin and wrinkles im only 18.
Try coconut oil
@@ghchic2568 clogs pores
Same bro
Almond oil I've found works better, it's a lot lighter and has vitamin E in it too
Yasminh159 tried it, I was getting some red patches not sure if it was a good sign or bad
Coal tar cream helps reduce the patches of eczema I get from time to time. I also put a splash of bleach in a warm bath and soak for 20 minutes. That helps too. Also I have noticed if I eat ice cream it makes my eczema worse. I live in the U.S. so it’s probably some awful preservative in the ice cream here.
Hey...I've been dealing with eczema on and off for about 2 and a half years and when I first had it I got it in the front of my elbows and the it got to my eye lids and mouth and I went to the dermatologist and they gave me some cream and it helped it...it made it go away but it would still come back on and off.....then like 3 days ago I got a flare up on my mouth I've been using the cream that the dermatologist gave me but it's NOT going away and I don't know what to do.....I hate it, it just makes me feel ugly in my own skin can u PLEASE help me
@Aiman Zahra ik same it just makes you feel gross and you don't want to go anywhere
I have eczema for 3 years coz i am a manicurist maybe iritated to the gloves i am using... pls. Help me to prevent this eczema
Nice Abraham, this is really informative someone in my family has eczema has it and it's been affecting their self esteem
Thanks for commenting Just Some Guy without a Mustache - Glad you enjoyed it :)
You're here too?????
Any tip for extreme eczema?
Growth under the skin!
Great tips. Is castor oil an emollient?
Eczema is a tricky condition to deal with! Creams are very helpful and there are also things you can do within your diet to help as well!
Damn! I've had chronic eczema all this time!! I used to get it a lot as a child, but as I've reached my 20s it flares up a lot, like itchy then it turns into red blotches that look irritated to others who look at it. I've used Aqueous cream BP and it's wonderful! It's ironic that I suffer with this and I'm allergic to Llanolin xD great advice as ever! Really has helped me out tons., 😁😁
You know Aqueous was designed for use as a soap. It has hash substances in it, it is not meant for moisterising. google search aqueous and eczema.
I just found out I have Dyshidrotic eczema on the sole of my right foot only. The flare ups are terrible! The tiny clear fluid filled ITCHY bumps are so itchy! I have to burst the bumps to relieve the itchiness. OMG! I need relief!
I have the same in same spot. Had for 20 years now. The only thing that has helped it is use a footbrush with soap in the shower. The days I dont are the days it hurts. Also soaking feet in warm water with vinager helps a lot but its temporary, it will feel better for a couple days.
Is Dermol 200 good to use Abraham? Also what about the E45 cream
Thanks for commenting, it all depends which emollient works best for you :)
Hey please answer my question please my symptoms are totally gone but the color is still there it’s darkish color under my eyes and neck especially my eyes I want it gone is there any way?

I'm having such a flare up, I don't know what to do itching whole arms itching back and neck! Back and forth to a fro doctors, referred to dermatologist and a 5 month wait!! I can't live like this.
My dermatology said to use coconut oil but I stop using it like the second week because I didn’t like the feeling of it. I also have a question how do identify the type of eczema because I forgot what the dermatology said
I need help. I've had a severe textureized eczema break out localized to my face since January. My skin has not healed and it is May 20th. What is my to my face? Im really depressed and really want my face to heal and get normal again.
@@Estephy_ Thank x100! I having a very bad flare. I'm throwing away the hydrocoritsone my doctor prescibed, it made my skin redder and more tender. Eczema is very mentally debilitating, but I'm with you in that it's telling me something is wrong and that I need to address it. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it means alot to me. :,)
Any soap that can be used?
My eczema happens only in the summer and after the weather gets a bit colder it disappears until next summer...
This is me omfg
Same 😔
Same
Its ironic coz the opposite happens to me like the colder the weather the worse it gets for me
@@omaribrahim4892 I hate it does anyone know how to fix it cause mine is getting worse mine is mostly on my butt
Does Linovera oil work for eczema?
Im finally getting injections for my eczema called dupixent under the nhs hopefully it can help.
Thanks for commenting Pep Si, I hope it all goes well - Sending you awesome vibes wherever you are in the UK :)
Hey! How bad is your eczema? I heard about this years ago while still in clinical trials and now it’s available to nhs! I didn’t know this as it’s a monoclonal antibody treatment does is quite expensive. How difficult was it for you to get this treatment?
madtingsadting quite easy, my dermatologist did most of it for me ask your dermatologist they will help you.
No SLS? But my derma prescribed a Bioderma shower gel that has SLS as ingredient.
Im 17 and ive been struggling with ezcema for 4 years now, the one thing whitch realy doesnt help me but i have to use is the steroid screams, ive noticed that my skin gets addicted to them realy fast and after a week or so of using the ezcema becomes worse
Exact same thing happens to me… I’m also 17
This episode came in at the right time! My son just showed me his wrist with cracked skin yesterday. Thank you, Doc! 👍😊
Thanks for commenting April, hope you and your son are well and my tips help :)
hi i need help. i never had eczema before but when i looked up for these small bubbles/blister on my skin it told me its probably eczema. just 5 days ago these small "bubbles" started popping up especially on my hands. one part of my palm has a HUGE bubble and i dont know what to do. its huge and it hurts and ive applied cream specific for eczema but it only seems to make it burn more. it's so uncomfortable and i cant sleep from the pain idk what else to do pls help
mitty how tf did you type all of this your hands must be bleeding
I apply boroline cream, keeps the itching away
Also, I believe "Dead Sea salt" bath works. Somehow I don't knw I also suffering from this, but I Using Minera Dead sea salt which is much relieving.
What to do for *sun* allergies ?😩
A Vitamin B deficiency can wreak havoc on your skin, causing acne, rashes, dry and flaky skin, cracked lips, and wrinkles. It can also make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, personal care products, and other potential aggressors, and can accordingly lead to redness and irritation.
What is the best emollient?
OMG I’m literally watching this feeling soooo itchy!!!!!
Thanks for commenting, sorry to hear about this hope my tips help.
I'm much worried about my son's eczema
He is 14 months old and his eczema flare ups is not coming under control.
It came back after 2 weeks or less than it

Hey Abraham can you do a video on underarm acne? Ty
Added to the future video list
When you get hot from exercise or working and yr skin gets really itchy all over is that what eczema is?
Thanks for commenting A.J. not really the most common form of eczema is a condition that causes the skin to become itchy, dry and cracked.
@@AbrahamThePharmacist what do you think my condition is then?
Got the same issue, still have no clue what it is either but there should be something for it, you put it on before exercising or whatever and you shouldn't be itchy after
Perhaps it is exercised-induced cholinergic urticaria? It is a condition in which increased body temperatures trigger the swelling of the skin and the formation of hives. This is sometimes called 'runners itch' but it usually gets better as you build up stamina! Or it could also be your skin being irritated by your own sweat. It could be the shower gel/soap you use when you shower after the gym that is irritating your skin. Or it could be an allergic reaction to the tight gym material or detergent/friction causing an itch. Showering immediately after exercising can be helpful as if you stay in the work out clothes it can be occlusive and itchy.
Hey, I have had eczema all of my life and working out 100% makes me itchy without fail.
Dermovate ointment helps A LOT!
Thanks
I grew out of it mostly but lately I have a veryyyy ugly stubborn patch of it on my ankle thats been there for 2 years now. It go's away and comes back over n over again! Need it to go away for good!!!
Eczema I used Elica -Mometasone Furoate,after going to 2 dermatologist finally found it
How long have you used elica? I’ve been using it for years but it only gets better for a little bit then it gets back to being worse
I have Dyshidrosis eczema its very itchy and It started to bleed and has a water in it. I constantly use alcohol as i think that it cause by fungi I dunno if I have any triggers related to chemicals. Plss help me how do I cure this : (
Don't use alcohol ,as it will further aggravate the condition
I've been using Clobetasol Propionate Cream, USP two times a day. Once in the morning & once at night when my hands aren't in use. It worked for a short time but the Eczema came back. My hands get these small cracks on them like paper cuts that are just slightly painful & annoying. Anyone else???
I have had severe excema on the hands and had to waer gloves untill i read a study. 35 % off the patients were cured by the simple nivea in the metal can.
I was in that group!
So try it if you tried everything else like i did.
Great upload, thank you Abraham. No wonder eczema is often worse during the winter, when little vitamin D3 is being made by the body owing to lack of sunlight. In the context of the bad effects of Sodium Laureth Sulphate, I was shocked to discover that it's in nearly every shampoo and soap I have at home - even coal tar shampoo which I bought specifically for eczema. I need to find alternatives. Regarding emollients, is E45 Cream OK (it contains sodium cetostearyl sulphate, among other ingredients). Thanks again.
Thanks for commenting AntPDC, glad I could help - Sending awesome vibes to your :)
what are you saying about the cream? immobience?
emollient, its just a general word for greasy type cream.
How do i stop.the eczema???? Please Help us thank you
So tie paraffin in a lot of emollients are a fire hazard but you’re told to put it on inflamed skin just a thought
I get eczema on my hands. Now that I think about it, I think may have eczema all over my whole body; reasons being: 1. My bras have latex in them and I noticed I get really itchy if I wear them to bed. 2. I always take hot showers and I noticed my face gets dry red blotches all over it; however, the red spots do go away after a short time. 3. In winter my feet, lower legs, also my hands get extremely dry because of the cold dry air. 4. Certain shampoos give me an itchy scalp. 5. I have sensitivity to strong smells and perfume or most scented products. Is it possibly related to eczema? 6. Any sweat or bodily fluid makes me feel itchy. I often scratch my skin to the point of it bleeding. Do these symptoms mean that I have eczema on my whole body?
No i think
My dad has eczema & it passed down to ALL his kids 😩 I always had it but it wasn’t bad at all, couple weeks ago i start to notice the eczema getting worst & it spread all over my arms, it looks disgusting. I even changed my soap to dove sensitive skin, I use coconut oil too & the doctor did give me some cream but it don’t work at all 😩 pls help? what else can help ?
I have had eczema since more than 20 yrs. Last year I prayed really hard that i find some treatment for it. After that I found it had a direct connection with the food I eat. Eliminating gluten and sugar has made a huge difference for me. I also try my best to eat clean otherwise too. I take apple cider vinegar and milk thistle supplement, which improves liver function and as a result, helps with eczema. One week ago i started applying and taking black seed oil as well, i see some improvement with that as well. My eczema is a lot better with these things, although not 100% gone. You will have to work on whats triggering your eczema and what helps it. Good luck!
My daughter is having dry and reddish on the face for past 5 months. I tested vitamin d, level is 9.06, I've is 4099
Can you do on eczema. Mines is very bad right now
Sure thing Kitty added to the future video list!
I don't have eczma. But my hands feel like they're burning, they're not red, not flakey. I Just feel itchy burning sensation on the back of my hands.. My mom gave me a hand cream.. Hoping it works. 😁 🤞🏻
I have eczema for like a year it's horrible. My life sucks and I don't think it's never going to come off me 😥😥😥
I'm from india, my 2.5yr old daughter is suffering from skin problem. Itchy skin, and as per the doctor suggestion using ATARAX syrup and CANDID B ointment. Not getting good results. Whenever we stop the medicine, again its getting popped up.
Plz advise.
A Vitamin B deficiency can wreak havoc on your skin, causing acne, rashes, dry and flaky skin, cracked lips, and wrinkles. It can also make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, personal care products, and other potential aggressors, and can accordingly lead to redness and irritation.
Triamcinolone Acetonide works wonders
My emollient makes my skin worse?? :(
What about cheap coconut oil?
My son suffers from Eczema. One of the areas he gets the itch is to his scalp. I can find no way in getting the 'cream' through his hair, to the scalp. Any advice?

Hey, I get that too
I’m 21 yr old and have bad eczema on only the sides of my right ring finger. It inflames if I drink alcohol that’s what caused it to flare up again it almost healed! this sucks i don’t want to take steroids for this.
hi abraham ... keep your watch strap loose ... cos people who wear their watch strap tight ... are usually uptight people ... who can't relax and stickler for rules and not very chill ... i saw it on a psychological video!!!
Wow that's very interesting - thanks for sharing and sending awesome vibes!

Why do I get a rash every time I wear a belt
The metal part is usually what causes it I’m pretty sure
Eczema Squad wya!!!

I thought I outgrew my eczema until later in my adulthood. It’s back with a vengeance 🥴
Severe Dishydrosis is a NIGHTMARE. And severe eczema in general lmao... If anybody has tips on “water bubbles” Can you comment that tip?? I hate “water bubbles” between my fingers 😂 💀
I had bad eczema on palms of hands with cracks, the best thing I found was dermovate or a strong steroid cream and wear the disposable/surgical gloves (not ones with talc in them), for as long as you can, all night or longer. It keeps the steroid active for longer, it will comes back but it helps though.
amolian? ramolian? how do you spell it?
Emollient
Hyaluronic Acid keeps moisture in your skin and ceramides repairs the skin barrier. The best brand fo this is Cerave.
I have dermatitis and eczema and psoriasis , summer time is okay but winter gets worse the dermatologist gave a cream to put plus vaselineon top ,it made my skin very thin between legs the skin is touched and I have to separate the skin,i am in pain,I don,t know what to do.
