Eczema and skin pigmentation

[greeneone12]

Hello

My daughter has list skin pigment due to her eczema. I was told the other day this won't come back at that vitamin D will help stop future loss.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

Lost...not list!

My ds used to have relatively mild eczema that tended to be worse in the winter. By summer it had usually healed, without leaving any visible scarring, but you could see where it had been as the skin there did not tan properly. The following winter the patches of eczema would often be in slightly different places, and the same pattern of healing-but-not-tanning would occur.

I would say that most of the patches were tanning again 2, maybe 3, years later. The eczema was caused by dairy intolerance. Once we had identified this and cut out dairy the eczema improved and the healing improved. He has not had any eczema for 2 years and this summer, for the first time ever, he is tanning perfectly evenly. Ds is 7.

HTH.

I am 33 and have had eczema all my life. I found out I was gluten intolerant at 28, and since then cutting it out has meant my eczema is vastly improved although there are other things that affect it. Whilst I have regained pigment back in some areas of skin other areas still look different when I am tanned. It has taken at least a decade for pigment to return in some areas and in that time I have lost it in other places.

I was told there was nothing I could do about the lack/loss of pigment. I haven't heard anything about vitamin D helping.

Is your daughter bothered by it? I was as a teenager and people did pass comment on it. Now people still ask me sometimes about the marks and patches on my skin, but in a concerned way, and it doesn't bother me anymore, although it probably helps that my face is not affected as much as it used to be, and I can cover other areas up if I don't want people to see them.

My boy of eleven has eczema on his face and at the back of his neck what can I use to cure it ? Moreover what are those things that cause eczema and acne?
