I live with a eczema with fluctuating severity and have to agree. I have been prescribed triamcinolone acetonide steroidal cream, which helps, but doesn't keep me from scratching. I am legitimately waiting for genetic editing to solve this problem for me.
- bitL 7y agoTry sauna with multiple heat (~10 minute) - cold (1-2 minutes; immersed) cycles; some of my friends with various skin disorders reported significant improvement after 3 sessions and I could see myself their skin first dried on affected areas that then quickly recovered to almost perfect state after 3rd session. YMMV ofc.
- lallysingh 7y agoDo you have more information on this? A link perhaps?
- bitL 7y agoI don't see any medical journal report, however there seem to be many people discussing the same online; just a quick search led to this Reddit thread that describes what I saw on my friends (i.e. damaged skin peeling off with healthy one underneath): https://old.reddit.com/r/eczema/comments/6cci0h/infrared_sauna_holy_cow/ https://old.reddit.com/r/eczema/comments/6cci0h/infrared_sau... I believe the "cold shower" mentioned later is necessary for any effect; my friends usually spend 1-2 minutes immersed in cold water after a heat cycle (arguably both improved blood circulation and immunity boost).
