Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Do y’all with eczema etc take care to use fragrance-free skin products? No reason to irritate it further! Especially consider laundry detergent. I like Arm and Hammer for sensitive skin. Cheer-free is probably good also.

I have tried every product under the sun, been to the derm several times, etc. I have a warning: we have used Protopic and Elidel and recently the news on these two products is that the FDA (I think) is making the manufacturer but a black label warning on them saying that they have been known to cause cancer. This is not something I would want my little guy to even possibly get, so we don't use either product anymore, and are back on steroid creams. We also use Aquafor which is over-the-counter and very much like Vaseline, but has an added ingredient. It is also extremely expensive, but works great to hydrate the skin. It's best is you put it on immediately after a bath, and cover the area loosely (or it will get everywhere). I strongly recommend taking your son to a dermatologist for a prescription. It's made a world of difference in my little one's life. Oh, and he is 5 now. Sonja Yahoo! Autos. Looking for a sweet ride? Get pricing, reviews, & more on new and used cars.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I use the Arm & Hammer!! Get the BIG jug at Sam's. It's actually cheaper than the rest too! We just can't take the scents of the other soaps. I tried....gave away several different kinds and always go back to A & H...the allergy free one. kathi --- Laurie Bilyeu wrote: > Do y'all with eczema etc take care to use fragrance-free skin > products?

I can't use A & H, Seventh Generation, Cheer-free, Gain-free, Tide-free, etc. Tide, in particular, will leave me sobbing in the midst of a full-on attack of hives, asthma, and migraine. And that's just when someone who uses it walks by. I have multiple allergies and MCS. I use a small amount of detergent, nowhere near the amount the manufacturer recommends. I make sure the clothing has enough room to agitate with plenty of water. I use vinegar in the rinse cycle. Undies, tights, socks, and towels get an extra rinse. Clothing only gets dried until it is dry. Undies and anything prone to fading gets hung up to dry in the laundry room or bathroom. The vinegar helps remove all the detergent from the textiles, eliminating the so-called " need " for fabric softener. Fabric softener is a huge rip-off. ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's just when someone who uses > it walks by. That's ONE thing I *DO NOT* miss about no longer being in the paid work force: being unable to control OTHER people's laundry! Man, there were some folks whom I'd dread coming into my office. Not because I disliked them... I'd just get sick from their clothing!! (Some folks wore ugly clothing, and that made me sick. But mostly it was the scents that would give me migraine and asthma.) Until I read your message, I thought I was all alone in the world with this particular torment! Thank you for the other hints in your message. And what kind of vinegar? Any? Esther in RI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 >Anybody know if the Cytomel may be causing it? Not heard of that effect before. It may be something to do with the sauna, is it a very dry heat? Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yes. The infrared sauna is supposed to be good for detoxifying purposes which is why I got it. I wondered if the rash might have something to do with that. It was just the timing that made it hard to know what the culprit might be: sauna started Dec 22 Cytomel started Dec 29 Iodoral started Jan 8 Rash started around Jan 15? Discontinued Iodoral Jan 18? It got a little better, then has been worsening, but, as I said doesn't itch or hurt, so... Thanks anyway!
