Hi,
I have been suffering from skin problems since Febuary of 2001, and just recently been told, after a series of creams, ointments, antibiotics given by several dermatologiests, that it is a case of eczema.
I found today that Homeopathy is the only way i can rid this problem, since Cortison etc treametns only give temporary relief?
My symptoms are as follows:
Face - under eyes, cheeks, over eyebrows, eyelids, jaw line...dry, itchy and scaly pathes. ithching causes dandruff like flakes, redness and unusual swelling. a few months back (due to the extreme toronto heat) there was yello ooze, extreme flaking and dryness. it was hard to move my face for talkign! and i couldn't go anywhere because it looked scary! and thre were small rash like bumps all over my face.
Also, the dryness has caused almost a wrinkly appearance. when i smile, talk, whatever, there are lines around my eyes which look terrible.! i am only 18! i dont' want wrinkles!
Currently, its a lot better but periodically, once every week or two weeks it comes back..with redness, swelling and itching in the mentioned areas. it doesn't look as bad but there is a hint of darkness over the area, whihc i was told is an effect of eczema
Arms, between fingers, shoulders- same..but very dark black patches.
How does the homeopathic treatment work? Does it make the conditions worse before it cures as I have been told? Like, does it spread completely and then gradually start showing positive signs?
i ask this because if i were to get involved in a treatment now and look sick it wouldn't be good as i have many graduation ceremonies, a wedding to attend and a long planned trip planned for this summer.
does using make-up, other facials(natural, bleaches, etc) make it worse or does it not matter?
should i minimize my sun exposure (which is very infrequent anyway). i notice that it is worse after a day out in the sun or heat.
I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thanks
SS
