This thread is pure gold. I read a few pages of it and bought a few items on Amazon and my local grocery store today. Here's to better and healthier skin...
Anyways, anyone have any ideas for *natural* ways to fight eczema? Also, I've noticed that under my eyes there are dark baggy lines, anyone ever have success in resolving those?
My dermatologist told me to use Cortisone-based creams for eczema, which you can get over the counter at a pharmacy. Those did work but I felt like the moment I stopped applying them on my face (I had eczema on my eyelids and random areas on my face), then he rash/itch would come back again.
He had absolutely no resolution on resolving the baggy, darkness underneath my eyes
If anyone has any ideas on solving any of those (i.e. oils they've used, any kind of extract, honey, etc.) way that would be helpful. I may just try to start applying oils on my faces and report back in a few months to see if that had any impact.
Nothing worked better for my psoriasis than Protopic. It's also prescribed for eczema. Once it goes away it's gone for a while, generally a year for me. Arguably the best drug I've ever seen, the efficacy is miraculous.
For baggy eyes this is a genetic thing based on the shape of a person's face. It is obviously a sign of aging as the fat pads start to deteriorate and your skin begins to sag. Difficult to treat w/o some intervention. The best example of correcting this that I've seen is by injecting fillers in that area. This guy has done incredible work.

Ointments and honey probably won't do much. I take tretinoin and have noticed less baggy eyes, but I don't think I'm as genetically afflicted with this issue.
