I'm back:D

Talking of skin, I work up yesterday with two spots on my left cheek. Big angry sore spots, a bit like bites.

I was at the ideal home on Friday, do you think I got bit by something on the train:eek: It was a bit:rolleyes: There was beggars & all sorts on it.

I think it could be the brush - or maybe I'm hoping it is the brush

Lord, gotta find a way to cover it for work tomorrow either way

Ok girls, its smile time....

I had a luxurious bath - which consisted of Sanex (great packaging MrsE:D ) and some drops of tea tree oil, thought would go with the idea from Violetta. After a little lounge, my back (worst area for my ezcema) went itch crazy - I leant forward for my back scrub thingy to help me shred the skin to pieces and spotted the TT oil - I put some on the brush scrubby thingy and attacked my back. I laid back in the water. No itch. Still no itch - its not felt this good for YEARS! Cheers Vi!:beer:

Oh blimey I'm worried now I wasn't advising anyone else to use it, just that it seems to be helping me with my itchy scalp which may be a fungal infection:eek: . Hope you get on ok with it.
Have any of you tried Aveeno that's a lovely moisturiser and it has stuff from oats that are supposed to help with exzema.

No panic! It certainly helped my back - and i'm a grown up - although that is debatable

Face has calmed down a bit and did put on the EB healing foundation, very lightly, today. Left off the concealer. Meanwhile, other areas of ezcema are raging now. Its like, clear one bit up and it starts up somewhere else

Weird thing is, my son's skin has flared up too.

Something in the water? Or is it all down to the fact that we're all working hard and not had a holiday for years and years! (Trying to amend that if can find right place at right price!)

Just need to post - my face has finally cleared

Actually not looking too bad and the dryness is easing.

teated myself to a Dr hauschka Clay mask mixed with ylang ylang oil and liz earle moisturiser and finished off with a brightening rose mask. Just a few flakes left around the eyebrows and a slight glow left to the face - hopefully will be gone by tomorrow

hi jeannie

i sympathize with all your skin problems. I have tried a neem soap from india called Margo and that really helps with all the itching. You might find it in an indian/asian store.

Another thing you can do is try and get hold of neem leaves and boil them for a good 10 mins and add it to plain water in your bath and soak in it. Neem leaves are very good in curing itchy skin , is also good to use on fungal infections.

Hope it can help you all.

Sounds interestin - where can you get the soap and the leaves?

Just a quickie - have carried on with the elemental beauty which is not irritating me - skin flare up is not only on face. Face has been quite calm today - although prob not for long due to stress of mobile phone hassle :mad:

Have posted on Vent and Mob Phone - maybe worth a look so you too don't get caught out. May cause skin flare ups with the rest of you too and not good for 'health and beauty'!
