Eye eczema/dermatitis?
I've lived with atopic dermatitis on my hands, the back of my knees, the front of my elbows and on my neck as long as I remember. I'm now 15 years old. I've been dealing with it all my life.
I've used SO MANY creams, antibiotic creams and so many others. Some creams would work and the rash would go away, but after few days it would ALWAYS come back. I was used to it and it didn't really bother me until it spread to my face.
My both eyes, especially left one, are SO RED and dry, not to mention flaky. I can literally peel the skin all day. I even have wrinkles under my eyes because of the dryness and it looks like I'm 60 years old. It even spread on my forehead, where wrinkles can also be seen. Every person I see always asks "Why are your eyes so red?" "What's wrong with your eyes?" "Why do you already have wrinkles?" and each day it's making me feel more and more depressed. I don't know what to do, how to reduce the redness and the dryness, I've been using oils, oily creams, everything! And it still looks horrible!
My skin in the corner of my left eye broke few times, causing it to bleed and hurt like hell. I used to have a red line because of the wound and everyone would be asking about it again... I'm sick and tired of this, please, please help me!

You’ve heard there are clinical creams and natural home remedies to treat eczema, a dry skin condition that reportedly affects between 10 and 12 percent of children around the world — but what about bleach bath therapy? Soaking in bleach doesn’t sound at all like a good idea, but according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), adding about six percent of regular, not concentrated bleach to bath water can help soothe a person’s symptoms. So how did a common treatment send Sarah Cole, 29, to an Australian hospital with severe, life-threatening burns? She used too much bleach.
Cole told The Daily Telegraph that she had been skeptical of her skin specialist when it was suggested she take a bleach bath as a way to treat her eczema. She, as we imagine many people would, thought “that’ll burn like crazy.” But when her specialist insisted upon the bath, Cole decided to give it a try.
Not having specified how much bleach she should use, Cole added one cup of the stuff to her bath and soaked her entire body in it. She admitted during her bath there was some pain, but not a lot. Two days after her bath, however, Cole woke up shaking.
“I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t talk so my partner called the ambulance and I was taken to hospital where I was taken to ICU,” Cole said. “Two and a half weeks later I was taken to Concord Hospital in Sydney where thankfully they saved my life."
Cole spent a month in intensive care and a burn unit at Concord after severely burning 98 percent of her body. At one point, she said her family was “pretty much planning my funeral.” Even now that she’s been discharged from the hospital, Cole is trying to manage lingering emotional pain, as well as “a lot of horrible scars.”
Her family has set up a FundRazr to help raise money they can put toward Cole’s medical bills.
Cole did say she looked up bleach bath therapy after she was out of the hospital to find it was, in fact, a legitimate treatment. One study published in The Journal of Dermatology concluded bleach baths significantly reduced eczema area and severity. But Cole also found experts recommended these baths are beneficial when using a quarter of the amount of bleach she used; some sources stated over a half a cup of bleach is enough to cause severe damage.
Let’s be clear: anyone with eczema should speak with their dermatologist before taking a bleach bath therapy. But generally speaking, the AAD suggests a half cup of regular bleach can be added to a full bathtub of water for eczema relief; only add a quarter cup to a half-full tub. This amount is even less for babies and toddlers: the AAD recommends using a single teaspoon of bleach for every gallon of water.
Both children and adults should never add the bleach directly to their skin. The bath should be drawn, the bleach added, before anyone soaks for five to 10 minutes; again, a dermatologist will suggest how long someone should sit in bleach. Once that’s done, the next and final step is to pat skin dry before applying any topical cream.
What exactly does the bleach do to your skin? The American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) reported one of many triggers for eczema is a bacterium called Staphylococcus aureus. These bacteria can frequently infect the skin of people with eczema, so the bleach works to decrease the rate of this infection. The AAAAI offers similar guidelines to the AAD, adding patients should limit bleach baths to no more than twice a week. Also, try to soak only torsos and otherwise affected areas; do not submerge your head.
You need to google FMT and bacteriotherapy, as the latest treatment addresses the cause of all eczemas as being a bad selection of gut bacteria. There have been quite remarkable cures.
