What’s the single biggest thing that actually improved your eczema?

Not cured. Not “helped a bit”.

I mean the thing that made the biggest noticeable difference for you personally.

Could be a product, ingredient, medication, lifestyle change, diet, routine or anything

Curious because I feel like I've resolved my eczema and have the "formula" to treat it but actually it seems insanely individual and full of trial and error.

If I could only do one thing, it would be move to a more suited climate. And for me that a warm climate 24 - 32 degree C.

But doing one thing alone is not enough in reality. Even in that warmer climate there are things I'd need to do/avoid. I found what worked was a combination of small changes that add up and have a big impact. And that includes the role of medicines, creams, diet and exercise.

I’m curious how common this is.

I went through a phase where I was trying everything:

  • different creams
  • supplements
  • diets
  • random “natural” remedies
  • even things like red light therapy and UVB lamps

Probably spent way more than I’d like to admit just trying to get things under control - which they are and have been for many years now.

What about you?

  • Roughly how much have you spent trying to fix your skin?
  • And what actually ended up working (if anything)?

I’m trying to understand if most people go through this same trial-and-error phase or if there is a better way that I'm not aware of.
