I have horrible eczema breakouts and I don’t like using my prescribed medication because there are too many complications involved. I started using turmeric when I have an eczema breakout and it has been a help. It’s safe, easy and affordable. The most important benefit is that it’s a natural product and has other uses too. It also helps reduce acne and look of dark spots too.

Ingredients:

·         1 teaspoon of Turmeric

·         1 tablespoon of Water

·         Your desired amount of an essential oil of your choice

Instructions:

Mix it all together and rub it on your face. Leave the mixture on for 40 minutes and wash off. Don’t forget to moisturize after your wash your wash.

I have eczema, sensitive, dry, skin. Basically I have shit skin and I have to avoid most products.  Most of the products I use on my skin/hair are DIY. Recently I have been using green tea face mask.

Ingredients:

·        1 teaspoon of Matcha green tea

·        2 teaspoons of Water

Instructions

1.      Mix it together and throw on face with a cotton ball. If you have extra you might as well throw it on your hair. I do this mask 3 times a week.

I have been using this for a week, and I love the results. My skin looks healthy and has a glow. My skin does not look dry.

I’m itchy, constantly. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t itchy, it’s driving me crazy.
All the dermatologist have to say is, “keep putting your cream on” Well the cream obviously doesn’t work otherwise I wouldn’t of been on toxic drugs for the past 3 years. Putting cream on already irritated skin just makes it worse, even just moisturiser.. But the dermatologists can’t seem to understand that, unless I’m the only one who experiences this.
I’m tired, I don’t want to sleep because when I sleep I scratch, I wake myself up scratching, or my sheets have stook to me from blood and weeping sores so I move then it rips. It just seems never ending.
No one ever thinks that eczema can be this life altering but it is, it affects everything about my life, from not being able to go in then sun due to medications I’m on, what I eat, what I wear.. It’s horrible and nothing seems to be working to get it better. Rant over.

ok but like shout out to all my girls with skin conditions like eczema or acne or keratosis pilaris, etc. society paints such a false picture of women as having perfectly clear and soft skin and like….that ain’t true. so many of us have bumps and scars and dryness and redness and no matter what we do it won’t go away. but yall are perfect okay like believe me i still don’t love my skin but its so Wrong that we hate ourselves so much for something so trivial. you’re beautiful okay and so is your skin i love u.

Researchers identify a bacteria on healthy cats that produces antibiotics against severe skin infections; the findings may lead to new bacteriotherapies for humans and their pets 

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine used bacteria found on healthy cats to successfully treat a skin infection on mice. These bacteria may serve as the basis for new therapeutics against severe skin infections in humans, dogs and cats.

The study, published in eLife on October 19, 2021, was led by Richard L. Gallo, MD, PhD, Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of Dermatology at UC San Diego School of Medicine, whose team specializes in using bacteria and their products to treat illnesses — an approach known as “bacteriotherapy.”

Skin is colonized by hundreds of bacterial species that play important roles in skin health, immunity and fighting infection. All species need to maintain a diverse balance of healthy skin bacteria to fight potential pathogens.

“Our health absolutely depends on these ‘good’ bacteria,” said Gallo. “They rely on our healthy skin to live, and in return some of them protect us from ‘bad’ bacteria. But if we get sick, ‘bad’ bacteria can take advantage of our weakened defenses and cause infection.”

This is the case with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP), a bacterium commonly found on domesticated animals that becomes infectious when the animals are sick or injured. MRSP is an emerging pathogen that can jump between species and cause severe atopic dermatitis, or eczema. These infections are common in dogs and cats, and can also occur in humans, though rates of human infection vary around the world. As its name suggests, MRSP is resistant to common antibiotics and has been difficult to treat in clinical and veterinary settings.

To address this, researchers first screened a library of bacteria that normally live on dogs and cats and grew them in the presence of MRSP. From this, they identified a strain of cat bacteria called Staphylococcus felis(S. felis) that was especially good at inhibiting MRSP growth. They found that this special strain of S. felis naturally produces multiple antibiotics that kill MRSP by disrupting its cell wall and increasing the production of toxic free radicals.

“The potency of this species is extreme,” said Gallo. “It is strongly capable of killing pathogens, in part because it attacks them from many sides — a strategy known as ‘polypharmacy.’ This makes it particularly attractive as a therapeutic.”

Bacteria can easily develop resistance to a single antibiotic. To get around this, S. felis has four genes that code for four distinct antimicrobial peptides. Each of these antibiotics is capable of killing MRSP on their own, but by working together, they make it more difficult for the bacteria to fight back.

Having established how S. felis kills the MRSP, the next step was to see whether it could work as a therapy on a live animal. The team exposed mice to the most common form of the pathogen and then added either S. felis bacteria or bacterial extract to the same site. The skin showed a reduction in scaling and redness after either treatment, compared with animals that had no treatment. There were also fewer viable MRSP bacteria left on the skin after treatment with S. felis.

Next steps include plans for a clinical trial to confirm whether S. felis can be used to treat MRSP infections in dogs. Bacteriotherapies like this one can be delivered via topical sprays, creams or gels that contain either live bacteria or purified extract of the antimicrobial peptides.

Pictured above: To identify candidates for a new bacteriotherapy against skin infection, researchers first screened various bacteria from dogs and cats and co-cultured them with S. pseudintermedius in liquid and agar antimicrobial assays.

It does smell nutty so for whole body oil I’d recommend almond or coconut :)

Almond oil is great for eczema, and the sweet oil has a wonderful smell.
