Here is a very informative article about eczema. I would like to make a few brief comments. First, before you set out on treatment, make sure that you actually have the diagnosis of Atopic Dermatitis and not some other skin diagnosis like psoriasis, urticaria, cutaneous lymphoma, scabies, dry skin, or other diagnosis. Second, make sure you are following a low allergy life style like the 5 steps I suggest for my patients. Third, make sure you are heavily & consistently moisturizing with a low allergy cream or ointment. Do not rely only on steroids or other meds. Eczema people have a deficient skin barrier causing most of their symptoms. So, healthy skin barrier care and avoidance of soap is of the utmost importance. For severe eczema patients I suggest that they use olive oil, not soap, as a skin cleanser. Yes it does clean without stripping your skin barrier lipids. For moisturizing, I suggest Pure Olive Oil mixed with Vaseline to your liking. Please read the Low Allergy 5 steps info here for suggestions on personal skin care products.

This is info for everyone who visits a physician:
How To Have A Better Doctor Visit? Hello, this is a message from Randy Jacobs, MD, dermatologist. I do care for my patients and how they feel about the medical care they have received. I would like to say a few things that may help you to have a better office visit with any doctor you see. But, before I explain this, I would like to share a bit of advice, if you really want to find out about a doctor, one of the worst places to go is to an internet review. Why? Because internet reviews represent only a small small fraction of the total patients that each physician has cared for. Good doctors see thousands of patients, save countless lives, and help many many many people. Out of these thousands of people, very very few satisfied people will ever say thank you or go and write something nice on the internet. Now, that's fine, because the doctor knows he or she is appreciated. The doctor does not expect for anyone to write an internet review when he or she has a happy patient. It would be nice, but not expected.

History
Practiced medicine for 36 years

Think about Jesus in Luke 17: 11 - 19 Jesus healed ten lepers. Out of ten, only one came back and said, "Thank you." So, it is human nature to forget to say, "Thank you." By the way, leprosy is a disease of the skin. I guess you could call Jesus a "Dermatologist" :). On the other hand, many patients who walk into a busy medical clinic are already hurting and suffering and they come to the clinic looking for help. They may be angry that they have to wait. They may have had a problem with their insurance company or their hmo referral, or may have been upset with how the staff handled their particular situation. They may be upset with what the doctor says or does or does not do. Maybe they expected something that the doctor just did not deliver. For certain, out of the many many people a busy doctor's office cares for, there will be patients who walk out upset; and, these are people who want to vent their disgust. What do they do? They write internet reviews or letters of complaint.

I would like to make one helpful suggestion that will make it easier for you to get the best care when you see any doctor. My best advice is to write down a list and try to communicate to the doctor everything you want he or she to address. Two way communication is the answer. In other words, don't just expect the doctor to know your mind. Make a list and go over the list with the doctor. Communicate your list and make sure both you and your doctor have exchanged information and have an understanding on each problem. At the end of the visit, make sure your doctor and you have both checked off each item of interest. Communication is the key :)

Nicotinamide for Cancer Prevention. I want to share with you Nicotinamide 500 mg twice a day OTC. If you are a sun person, this vitamin can help prevent precancers, skin cancers, and photoaging. The sun causes skin cancer by: 1. Damaging your skin's DNA, & 2. Immunosuppression - Inhibiting your immune system's ability to detect and respond to cancerous cells.

How can Nicotinamide help you? Nicotinamide actually promotes repair of sun damaged DNA in your skin cells. Nicotinamide also restores your immune system to better detect and respond to cancerous cells. If you are at risk for skin cancer, please put Nicotinamide in your daily vitamin box.

Sometimes the ABC's of melanoma don't work. Melanomas are usually dark in color; but, melanomas do not have to be dark. Here is a pink "amelanotic melanoma." These pink melanomas can be easily mistaken for something benign.

Atopic Dermatitis? Eczema? It's EZ, just keep greazy!

To the many many many poor people suffering with itch. No sleep, no peace, no comfort... There are many causes for itch, from simple allergies to autoimmune to cancer, but here are a few easy ways to help most itchy people. #1 is: Avoid anything allergic. Perfumes, soaps, bath gels, shampoos, and laundry products can be your biggest "itchogens." Avoid any product with perfume. Use a gentle cleanser such as Cetaphil. Use a fragrance free shampoo such as DHS Clear. You spend all day in your clothes and all night in your sheets, so use only pure BAKING SODA for your laundry and DO NOT use fabric softeners or dryer sheets. Don't be fooled by fake "ultra sensitive" laundry products. Note, other very common itchogens include pets, meds (advil, opiates, others), some foods, and simple dry skin. So, consider these and keep your skin well moisturized at least twice a day with a heavy cream. And remember, some people benefit by taking an OTC Claritin every day. If these simple measures do not work, you may have to make an appointment with a dermatologist. I wish you a blessed day.
