Hi guys
I have a bad recurrent skin problem my GP has diagnosed as eczema but
nothing fixes it. Symptoms:-
Very itchy patches on the tops of my knees extending in part up to my
outer thighs, also on outer of elbows & outer of ankles.
It started a few years ago (I'm now 59).
It was originally helped with cortisone creams.
It has now got so bad I feel like screaming or topping myself most days.
It starts off with little blister type things which get VERY itchy, I try
to ignore it & take antihistamines & its OK for a day or so, but I take to
it with abandon & end up with blood everywhere. I do try not to do it but
sometimes I an overwhelmed by the urge. After it stops bleeding I get a
massive surge of serous ooze, which seems to re-occur once scratched, no
other bleeding points (ie other cuts & scrapes)results in this serous
ooze, has this something to do with the fact that it itches SO much?
I have tried everything that I know of including bandages at night with
some type of soothing ointmwent ie Zinc, even bandaged it with cortisone
creams, but it is getting much worse over the last 6 months.
I'm slowly getting VERY depressed about this as it is diificult to manage
when working.
Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. I can only hope!
Pat

Hi Pat,

When I was faced with a similar* situation, I found that choosing
foods according to my blood type was a very successful treatment.

best wishes,

Steve

* Actually, my condition was much more serious, pemphigus vulgaris.

Hi Pat,

I would suggest that you seek out a dermatologist immediately. It sounds
like you could have infected areas if it oozes like that. A dermatologist
can provide you with more treatment options than a GP can. But the most
important difference is that a dermatologist can give you a more accurate
diagnosis than a GP when it comes to skin conditions.

Hi Pat,

Foods vary by blood type (A,B,AB, or O).

The books are the "Eat Right' series by Peter D'Adamo. Give one of
them a read, and if it makes sense to you, find out your blood type
and start avoiding the foods that a person of that blood type should
avoid.

best wishes,

Steve
