Gday, hows it going from Australia
I developed dermatitis around my eyes and dandruff last May at age 29 never before have I developed it and been trying to get to the bottom of the cause ever since. Wondering if anyone has any further insight to help me take a new approach?
Firstly, I have tried:
The only thing that works is the cortisone cream 0.01% which I am aware is not good long term but the dermatitis develops and spreads rapidly around my eyes over night it will go from nothing to around my whole eye (both) with red blisters and I'm afraid to let it get out of control as it hurts and burns and if I put the cream on its almost totally disappeared through the night. I can tell when its coming on as the corner of my eyes starts to burn.
My diet is various but I keep the PUFA to around 5g per day and avoid gums etc.
Ive consumed:
cow milk (raw and proceeded) cheese (animal rennet only), eggs, coffee, black tea, sugar, coca cola (cane sugar only), prawns, oysters, liver, beef gelatine (from can), lamb, beef steakes, home made oj, potato, chicken breast, rice, apricots, peaches, watermelon, tomato's, lettuce, beet root, onion, garlic, lychees, grapes, corn, wheat, candy, chocolate, apple juice, butter, refined coconut oil, some palm oil, ice-cream, white fish, salt, white vinegar.
I was smoking cigarettes but stopped at the new year.
I avoid all additives, Ive used natural deodorant, tried no soap, tried no shampoo, tried no clothing detergent Ive lived in different countries in this time so its not my bed pillow or something.
Recently started using selsun blue to wash my hair which has been good for the scalp.
Im 67kgs 5'5 and fairly sedentary I eat 1500-2200 calories per day depending on what I'm doing.
I even looked up the natural healing and put vinegar on it but made in much more inflamed and very painful so I don't think its a fungal issue.
Doc thinks its from an allergen.
Im in a cycle of applying the the cortisone cream once then the dermatitis disappears then week later the dermatitis creeps back and I re apply the cream.
Im open to new idea's I ready to change tacts.. any insight is much appreciated.
