Haven’t had a flare up since coming to southern CA! Cold dry winters do it for me, but sometimes humidity can also trigger

I live in the Bay Area and it’s by far the best place for me for my eczema! My skin is particularly prone to being triggered near a hot beach side area but Northern California lets me enjoy the beach without the heat, and the cold is also moderate. Highly highly recommend!

Also stress can trigger it...

Have you all gotten prescription creams for it? I started getting it in college (was pretty bad, all over my body), but after using the cream my doctor prescribed everytime I had a flare up, I honestly can't remember the last time I've been concerned about eczema. Gotta go back and dig to see what kind of magical cream it was.

Not sure if my body just got rid of it naturally? My lifestyle didn't change by any means. I also live in the east coast.

C1 - Aw, wish I could pinpoint when/how my eczema stopped acting up to help ya. And I agree, I've tried most over the counter stuff in the past and it did nothing for me, only the perscription worked. I honestly think it disappears with time as long as you try to minimize flare ups as much as possible.

Check the water too. I’ve randomly discovered that soft and hard water can make a ton of difference to skin (or alternatively, having a water softener installed if you’re in a city with heavy mineral content in the water).

Take benadryl if you have a bad flare up. Eczema can be further exacerbated by bacterial or fungal infections. You have to keep your clothes, bedding, and skin very clean. Buy one of those laundry sanitizer additives that doesn't use bleach.

Apparently, if you use steroid creams on a fungal infection it will make it worse. Not sure if it's the same with bacterial. I've found adding a cup of bleach to a full bath at the end can help a ton. I'll soak for 10 minutes.

After you get the swelling down from a bad flare up, whether by bleach bath or benadryl or etc, keep moisturizing, but not too much at a time. You don't want the affected skin to be too moist.

When you have a flare up you have to be much more careful about everything you do because your skin is if a more sensitive state. For example, eating spicy foods or seafood could cause a flare up to start itching unbearably, whereas if you ate the same foods while the skin will over your body is in good condition, you might not feel anything at all depending on how bad your condition is.

The sun and heat are the worst things for me personally and they can trigger flare ups even when my skin is "100%"

Just my observations and experience.

Have been relatively free of it since moving out of the northeast US. The cold and dry winters just cause huge flare ups, moved to Seattle then Texas and it’s been under excellent control since.

Aveeno oatmeal cream. I had never gotten eczema before, and it started when I moved to LA. As soon as I put that cream on, I’m back in business. Probably due to a mix of pollution and dry heat

I’ve heard great things about those in shower lotions. Good luck op

I tried so many many creams and meds but nothing worked. But thankfully, I was able to get it under control after switching to Homeopathy. The best part is that I can take homeopathy meds with your regular medicine and it has no side effects.

There’s no scientific evidence in any form that it works.

For BND, the dividend is 0.15 and the yield is 2.2%. Does it mean that for every BND I purchase I will receive 0.15 USD on a yearly basis?
And are these dividends distributed yearly from the date the bond etf is purchased? Or are they pro-rated somehow? Also do the dividends fluctuate with bons etf price?
