Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi Theresa....my daughter suffered from this too when she went away to college. I am sure the causes are endocrine in nature, but stress does play a major role. Since both you and your husband show endocrine issues, you may want to test her thryroid and adrenals as well as sex hormones. My daughter tried everything topical and nothing really made an impact. Turns out she was hypo, and since being on T3 it is much better. As far as supplementing, fish oil, primrose oil and lots of vitamin E should help. Cleaning up diet helps a lot as well...no more junk food! LOL Good luck....I know its hard to see our little girls suffer.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I don't really have any advice to offer, but wanted to let you know you aren't alone. One of my daughter's good friends has this problem, but it is pretty much all over her body. Nothing she and her mother have tried have really made a difference. It seems to be better in the summer, but that is about it. After reading some of the responses to you, I am going to ask her mom if she has been tested for low thyroid correctly or not though!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 The best thing to do is check for food allergies. My son has eczema as well but it only seems to flare when he eats foods he is allergic to. Dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, peanuts all the high allergy foods. You could try an elimination diet. I know it isn't fun Aside from that, cod liver oil helps a lot for us. And keeping the area well moisturized with a good natural cream. HTH! Kim Please Help!! ECZEMA My fourteen year old daughter has had eczema on her hands for a couple of years on and off but now she has it in a lot more places on her body and her hands have gotten real bad and she gets upset because people start asking her what is wrong with your hands? My husband has had eczema since he was a kid and has asthma and other issues too. I have thyroid problems and have Hashimoto too. Is there anything that can help her that is natural? Thank you for all your advice and help in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Read the label of everything you put in your mouth including vitamins and toothpaste. If it's got Yellow 5 food color, stop it for a week and see if symptoms improve. Yellow 5 causes hives, eczema, and asthma in some.
