Well diet helps rid of eczema ! If you have a condition that stops you from working out, I’d say find a natural way to fix that condition because humans are supposed to work out !!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a dermatologist who understands eczema and for providing actionable suggestions for relief. Special thanks for highlighting how folks with more melanin experience eczema, as their stories are often left out of the conversation. I appreciate the time, effort and care you put into filming this video to share you knowledge with the world!
Hi Dr Alexis, my comment is late but you are someone that has helped me so much, as a clinician in Africa( Tanzania) whose been learning so much from you for years, basically on skin of colour.....if this message is to reach you then just know you've made such positive impact in many people's lives....you've helped me do something, IF YOU DONT MIND I WOULD LIKE TO SEND IT TO YOU...
Thank so much! As a dermatologist and eczema warrior, you really know how to help, cause you know the fight! Sadly, I have found 2 dermatologists that lack compassion. They have no clue how eczema can negatively affect your quality of life. I wanted to treat my eczema as naturally as possible, so I turned to RUclips University, to others that live with it. So grateful you are here! ❤❤❤
My inner past child would’ve loved these tips back in the day! Thanks for the tips bc my summer flare ups on my fingers are possibly coming around any day now😅.
@@DrAlexisStephens I have a question about hyaluronic acid I came across a dermatologist that didn’t recommend using anything with hyaluronic acid in it which is crazy because I’ve purchased a lot of products with hyleronic acid in it thinking it was a good ingredient which it is but apparently not four people with eczema could you tell me if that’s true or not?!
I've had severe chronic eczema since childhood. One of the skin creams I use now is: Avène's "XeraCalm Lipid Replenishing Baume". It must be the baume tho, not the cream. I love it. Works like a charm. Prior to that, I was using the La Roche Posay Lipid Replenishing Baume Lipikar AP+. My new dermatologist gave me a sample at his office during consultation with him in July 2018. That product was life-changing for me because it calmed my eczema down to the point where I stopped scratching. I used it non-stop until La Roche Posay discontinued it in February 2021 (smdh). So, I had to scramble to find a replacement. Thank God for Avène.... they're getting all my money now lol. Check it out. Of course, eczema is a multifactorial health issue, and the info above was only addressing the topical component. I had to make lifestyle changes to keep inflammation as low as possible inside my body because I was already dealing with severe sleep deprivation from eczema and the daily, non-stop skin trauma from eczema. I live a healthy lifestyle, I eat vegan (I focus on eating plant based, because vegans can still be unhealthy by eating lots of processed foods), I exercise regularly, I don't drink alcohol or smoke anything. Plus there's many other lifestyle changes I had to make over time. I want to keep my body has happy as possible and not piss it off. Because once my eczema gets angry, it's horrendous. Anyways, hopefully the skin product info is helpful to you. Much love 💗✨
I have just recently been diagnosed with Eczema and I have found your RUclips video to be very enlightening … informative and thorough! Thank You very much!!
THIS WAS GREAT AND RIGHT ON TIME DR. STEPHENS. I just started with this so called Eczema in my early 60s and still have not found a good dermatologist who knows how to treat it correctly. I have placed an order for the cream and serum you mentioned in the video and have already implemented most of your suggestions, which are definitely on point, especially the patting. I also notice when I use cold or ice water, it helps a lot. A P.A. I visited did prescribe a good steroid ointment which you have to be careful because it will thin out your skin. I use it very sparingly and only when the symptoms gets too unbearable. I also find that using the CeraVe Ointment helps a lot and when I scratch too hard which creates blisters or cuts, my good old Neosporin helps. Thank you for taking the time to provide all the helpful tips.
My eczema only flares up when I don’t moisturise. If I use heavy moisturisers and moisturise after showering and obviously thick moisturisers on my face, I can keep the eczema away. But if I forget a single area I will get the red rash. It’s hard to find thick enough moisturisers that keeps my skin moist all day/night. Also ceramides really helps mine to look and feel better. 😊
@@jenniechan3587 yeah, I have one favorite which is Holika Holika Super Ceramide cream, it's lovely! Fragrance free, free of all the irritants and you can lay it on either thin or thick. Keeps my face moisturised all day, love it 👍🏻
Hi Dr Stephens, I have been in debt to you since following your channel. My skin has a very lovely glow as of now ✨️ I owe it all to your brilliance in skin care. Thanks,Victor from Atlanta ❤
I don't like when doctors just treat the symptoms. Ok having eczema means a deficiency in ceramides... And where do they originate in the body? .... The liver! So help your liver! And yeah help topically too but c'mon! Let's fix the root cause!
Thankyou veru much !! Had the same thought. And i have eczema and i can tell after years of research it begins in the body, in your intestines. 9 of 10 times the most of diseases begins there. Therefore you need a strict dieet, no meat, sugar, carbs etc. The body of people with eczema cannot process certain waste products, which results in irritated skin. You will also conduct research into Ayurvedic methods of treating diseases. Most old and most effective + most substantiated information about how to treat diseases. This goes very deep. 
That's about all we're going to get from a dermatologist, skin level cures. My general practitioner was the person who (also believes in holistic medicine) helped thru with testing, changes in my diet and supplements to get to the root cause.
It was a perfect storm for me. Eczema(toxins, water & heat), leaky gut & histamine intolerance. I fasted for 30 hours, started giving the dishwasher and washing machine a 2nd rinse and kept my showers on the warm side rather than hot. I'm feeling MUCH better.
Wow! first time I discover your channel and I have to tell you that I have the same condition and it's true that it's a very sensitive thing.. any thing that affects me psychologically or a food that I consume, or a lifestyle triggers my skin condition. I have to tell you that your skin is so perfect!
A white dermatologist told me I had eczema I never seen eczema like little black dots on my butt on my thighs on my arms it's like taking control of my whole body I don't even wear shorts anymore because I don't want to people are just very cruel and he was just running my insurance every time I came in but not really telling me anything so now I have a lot of information thank you so much and I'm going to start looking up a dermatologist that is of color thank you for sharing
The biggest things I’ve done for my eczema is getting all cotton sheets and pillow cases putting a air purifier in my room and buying screens that help block out pollen from my windows and the next big thing was taking cooler showers and now all I use is colloidal oat products like aveeno and taking oatmeal baths which did wonders especially in the summer when my skin is more irritated. My body care and skincare routine has oats in every step I can’t live without them and making my own oat mask with the aveeno 100% oats.
Hi Dr. Stephens! I just battled with a bout of eczema. I finally got some answers, and my contact allergy to nickel has reached new heights of systemic nickel allergy syndrome. The experience was miserable because not only did I have a recurring rash on my neck, but I had welts on my left leg. So, I researched high nickel foods, got a glass water jug, increased my omega-3 consumption, and began taking vitamin C after every meal (don't do this willy nilly contact your doctor). I also understood I had to keep the rash on my neck hydrated. I began applying the Vichy 89 thermal water, applied trauma over that, and then castor oil with an organic flannel to protect it. I have some hyperpigmentation from the rash, but I'm okay with working on that slowly. I'm just grateful I found you and some other derm's on RUclips. I knew to get myself to the doctor and get allergy tested again. Thanks!
I'm so glad you did this video. I'm in tbe midst of a flare up right now. I've been prescribed 3 different creams & 2 allergy medications & to try to get it under control but nothing is working. This video is right on time.
Honestly and with all respect. The only people that have not helped me with my eczema are dermatologist, they only treat the symptoms but never guess what is the cause of everything.
I agree. For years I bounced from dermatologists to allergists. My general practitioner was the person who (also believes in holistic medicine) helped me with changes in my diet and supplements to get to the root cause.
I feel the same way but found out they don't 100% know why or how it's caused. I've been dealing with dermatitis on the hands, and it's not fun. I literally cleaned out all my products that had scents and chemicals. I have cotton gloves and surgical gloves. I'm to the point where I'm changing my diet, taking some vitamins, and I just started dry fasting to see how well that works.
@@Ms.Bree8403I had severe and inflamed scalp dermatitis. I used Medicated T-Gel shampoo. I'm not sure if they have a lotion but I swear by this brand. Within a year, my whole scalp completely healed and my hair grew back.
Eczema Warrior! I love it. My son has had it since he was 2 months old. It has been so bad his thumb nail feel off twice. Now that he is 14 its easier. We also started dupixent. I was hesitant to try but not only did it help his eczema, he barely needs his inhalers and gets sick less. Adding a few of yhe products to try list
What a charming young lady and such a very interesting video on eczema! I've had eczema most of my life ☹Im going through a flar up at this very moment and its driving me crazy 🤪
good luck everybody!!, i had it rlly bad on my neck n it hurt soooo much. what helped me is taking iron pills. iron n ur immune system go hand n hand. so might help u guys
Super informative and affirming ! I’ve been doing these things just by trial and error, you’ve described the science behind why they work. I’m gonna pick up some necessarie and give it try
I go to the gym about 5/7 days a week and when I'm active my skin doesn't itch at all. The moment I got to the car the itching starts. Using cologne and items with scents do not affect me in the winter. The heat is my only enemy and it's a real shame because I love being in the sun. I was thinking about adopting a more vegan diet to improve my eczema. Have you ever seen that done before?
I have been watching your videos. Before today, I hadn’t gone to the dermatologist in a year and a half. I’m glad to be going back! I feel like I’ve grown so much in the skincare arena since I’ve seen her and understand her recommendations and treatment options. I’ve even started seeing my esthetician again. I don’t know that either of these are mandatory but it does help when you have sensitive skin, eczema, texture issues, etc
I am late to the game on your channel but so glad I stumbled upon it! You've mentioned in a few videos how important ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol is for the skin barrier, but one of the products you mentioned having all those good ingredients doesn't overtly list those exact words in the ingredient list. Are there other words that could be used for those, or how can we know if a products contains them all? Thanks so much for all you do!
I have tried many of the Necessaire's products. I feel they are a luxury brand (for me). I have eczema on my scalp, eye lids, around the eyes, checks, lips, chin, neck, hands, and specific places on my body. Fragrance and any combination of cocamidopropyl or betaine affected me. It is so hard to find a cleanser without cocamidopropyl. I had a shampoo that I loved, Seen, but now they added cocamidopropyl oxide, so i can no longer use it. Products that have relieve my flare ups: Beekman's pure soap bar has been great for my body becauseof the goat milk. For my face I use Vanicream cleanser and Aveeno calm and restore. I also like Epi.logic face cleanser with rosehip. I like Cetaphil cream in the winter time and the aloe in warmer months for body. I discovered other brands for eczema. Gladskin for face and body. Unscented Company makes skincare, bodycare and household/laundry cleaners. Tower 28 is a makeup brand that is helpful if you have eczema. There sunscreen that really seemed like a foundation was wonderful for my face when it was flaring.
@Fyhgvjc the only vitamin c product I use is Naturium. I use the vitamin c serum during warm/hot weather and the Multi-peptide moisturizer, which has vitamin c in the winter. If I have a flare-up of eczema, I do not use anything because I am using medication to resolve it.
Thank you Dr. Alexis. This is good info to know. I'm wondering if you could continue with your Chemical Peel series. I'm getting one for the first time soon and want to know more. I'm having it done by a black Derm 😉
In general, I have atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma, and at night I also sleep poorly, the main thing is to use ointments and inhalers on time, and everything will be fine :)
I have learned a lot about my hair with Ezcema. I still have not been able to grow my edges back like I want to. I am still learning about more and more everyday.
Dr. Stephen’s, I tremendously enjoy your informative videos. I would love you to do a review on the La-Roche-Posay Anthelios UV correct SPF 70 Broad Spectrum Lotion! I’m absolutely in love with it. I’ve tried so many other higher SPF (currently using Arazlo , and Cyspera) sunscreens and they all have left a horrible white cast. I suffer from Melasma , hyper pigmentation, breakouts and sensitive skin , so it is super important for me to protect my skin from the UV rays. This one here! Goes on smoothly, and feels like a light moisturizer, and does not feel oily in the humid conditions of South Texas. A little pricey, but worth it’s weight in gold!
I wish doctors in general were more willing to test for conditions more often instead of eyeing and guessing, right now I'm going through a rash on my feet where a doctor assumed it was ringworm and was treating me for it and after almost three weeks of not seeing any results I finally managed to get a referral for a dermatologist where they also just looked at it and prescribed me a cortisone cream, to this day I still don't know for certain whether its Ringworm or Dermatitis, I know steroid creams don't work on ringworm and could make it worst so I'm pretty much hoping and praying that its actually Dermatitis. If you're a doctor and you're reading this, please for the love of god stop your ego trip and just give your patience biopsies just for the sake of peace of mind, uncertainty is a cancer in the mind of someone who suffers from depression.
Theres alot of research saying after a long period of time using moisturizer on the skin, your skin can be dependent on moisturizers, it can change your skin’s natural balance of water, lipids, and proteins. The result? Your body will stop delivering the skin’s normal, natural method of hydration from within. So initially lotion may help eczema but in the long term wont it only keep your condition around even longer? Can anyone help me change my mind?
Hi doctor this is kinda off topic. But im so thankful to have found your channel 💛 your beautiful and lovely for sharing your gifts and knowledge. However Iooked at alot at your videos tonight and I may have overlooked but have your a video specific to HS Hidradenitis suppurativa? I been suffering from this for years and particularly in my inner thighs and under my breast and ofcourse. Its just embarrassing at this I don't have money to see a dermatologist so im hoping to find a way to help treat it. Thank you if you can make a video about it. Id appreciate it so much. I also have some friends that I send over to watch to about the video we need help 😢
Yes only one factor but I’ve cut it out all together and still have eczema. I’ve given up so many foods now I’m underweight. I’m frustrated with eczema. Summer coming and I cannot wear shorts or dresses no mater how hot it is.
Can you make a video on how to treat hyperpigmentation, patches and uneven thickened skin, that one can get from eczema scar? I'm 36 Yr today and I've been dealing with bad skin and dark spots all over my body and face since I was little. I can't even remember when I looked myself in the mirror and though I was beautiful. I hate it so much. I'm really thinking of traveling to the US or UK just to get help with this. Being black with eczema in Scandinavia is so not easy 😞
Can you please talk about hidradenitis suppurativa? Too many dermatologists don't take the time to actually research this painful skin disease, and I really would appreciate it if somebody cared enough to actually thoroughly research and study it.
Aww dr these are the basics. Need an advanced one for when this doesn’t work 😢 and a specific routine do what you use when flaring. But I know know that I have the follicular eczema as well. 😮
i have eczema around my lips and it sometimes even turns purple. i tried doing everything and it has been one of the hardest things as a woman. i can’t put makeup around that area and because i’m arab my hyperpigmentation is so so bad and it has deprived me of makeup, laughing sometimes 😂 eating etc and it’s been a long and difficult journey with no results and it has severely put me into some type of depression
So one random morning I woke up and had eczema I was itching really bad, I went on a four day dry fast and was taking cold showers it went away after the fast
Doc what do you do for bath time when you little one is allergic to oatmeal in regards to her eczema? I’m currently using Derma smooth oil with Aquaphora for her eczema this seems to be the only thing that has worked so far.
Thank you Dr. Alexis this will be very helpful for my son and I. Especially me with my terrible scratching habits. Do you have any tips for healing from Pityriasis Rosea?
Hi, I love your videos💓!! Could you please do a video on LED micro-current massagers? Are they worth the buy or more affective than guashas at sculpting the face? Any risks?
After the eczema I had during pregnancy a few 5 years ago, I was left with brown patches on my skin, darker then my skin, how can I reestablish locally my skin tone? Laser?
I am starting to have flare ups on my eyelids and sometimes use mometasone oint. Would like to see your daytime routine and different products you suggest for dry, eczema face
Hello Dr. Stephens. I would like to ask a question on a different topic. What are the best products to use on a burn to bring back the color on darker skin?
The Foderma Advanced Eczema Treatment has helped me manage my eczema symptoms without the use of harsh chemicals or steroids. It's a great option for anyone looking for a natural, gentle treatment.
Finally! Confirmation that exercise is triggering my itching. I can’t workout without antihistamine.
Same here and I can't tend what was wrong with me also even affect me while playing with my daughter
Is that dangerous for your liver. Say if you workout daily?

good luck everybody!!, i had it rlly bad on my neck n it hurt soooo much. what helped me is taking iron pills. iron n ur immune system go hand n hand. so might help u guys
Hi, I'm currently suffering from the bad neck eczema, so itchy. Did u treat it only with iron supplements?
@@thabangmodiba9341 iron supplements and aveeno daily lotion right out the shower
My favorite dermatologist❤. Castro oils work wonders.
As someone who had eczema for years I just had sun burn and it reminded me of eczema and without the itching
Can drinking lots of water help restore the moisture in our skin? Resulting in calming down the symptoms of eczema.
thank u for sharing these tips, choosing a moisturizer with colloidal oatmeal and ceramide helped tremendously
Which did you choose?
Your daughter is adorable!!! Like YOU!!!
Super informative and affirming ! I’ve been doing these things just by trial and error, you’ve described the science behind why they work. I’m gonna pick up some necessarie and give it try
Hey Dr. Alexis
Im Dr. Triza working in a rural facility in Kenya. Keep up the good work
I go to the gym about 5/7 days a week and when I'm active my skin doesn't itch at all. The moment I got to the car the itching starts. Using cologne and items with scents do not affect me in the winter. The heat is my only enemy and it's a real shame because I love being in the sun. I was thinking about adopting a more vegan diet to improve my eczema. Have you ever seen that done before?
Can you do a video on how to treat sunburns on dark skin?
I have been watching your videos. Before today, I hadn’t gone to the dermatologist in a year and a half. I’m glad to be going back! I feel like I’ve grown so much in the skincare arena since I’ve seen her and understand her recommendations and treatment options. I’ve even started seeing my esthetician again. I don’t know that either of these are mandatory but it does help when you have sensitive skin, eczema, texture issues, etc

Excellent informative video with great production value. Good job Doctor👍
First time listening and i subscribe!! She cover every area in details.
Could you please do a video on Kojie San soap ?
If it is harmful or not. Please tell me. And will my tan come back if i stop using it ?
This video came at the right time. My usual products that I have used for years is not helping and my skin is becoming flared with textured.
Thank you for talking about the differences between the two. I would love to see a video on festoons and malar bags.
I am late to the game on your channel but so glad I stumbled upon it! You've mentioned in a few videos how important ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol is for the skin barrier, but one of the products you mentioned having all those good ingredients doesn't overtly list those exact words in the ingredient list. Are there other words that could be used for those, or how can we know if a products contains them all? Thanks so much for all you do!
I have tried many of the Necessaire's products. I feel they are a luxury brand (for me).
I have eczema on my scalp, eye lids, around the eyes, checks, lips, chin, neck, hands, and specific places on my body.
Fragrance and any combination of cocamidopropyl or betaine affected me. It is so hard to find a cleanser without cocamidopropyl. I had a shampoo that I loved, Seen, but now they added cocamidopropyl oxide, so i can no longer use it.
Products that have relieve my flare ups:
Beekman's pure soap bar has been great for my body becauseof the goat milk. For my face I use Vanicream cleanser and Aveeno calm and restore. I also like Epi.logic face cleanser with rosehip.
I like Cetaphil cream in the winter time and the aloe in warmer months for body.
I discovered other brands for eczema. Gladskin for face and body.
Unscented Company makes skincare, bodycare and household/laundry cleaners.
Tower 28 is a makeup brand that is helpful if you have eczema.
There sunscreen that really seemed like a foundation was wonderful for my face when it was flaring.
Would you happen to have found a vitamin c that works for you?
@Fyhgvjc the only vitamin c product I use is Naturium. I use the vitamin c serum during warm/hot weather and the Multi-peptide moisturizer, which has vitamin c in the winter. If I have a flare-up of eczema, I do not use anything because I am using medication to resolve it.
Awww look at the babies
Thank you Dr. Alexis. This is good info to know. I'm wondering if you could continue with your Chemical Peel series. I'm getting one for the first time soon and want to know more. I'm having it done by a black Derm 😉
Very detailed info. Thanks so much!
Thanks, Dr! Do you mind doing a video on back acne? 😢
You are crushing it, thank you
Great education video, thanks for sharing! I learned quite a bit
My eczema is caused by heat..
Especially on the sun my life has changed radically
In general, I have atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma, and at night I also sleep poorly, the main thing is to use ointments and inhalers on time, and everything will be fine :)
I have learned a lot about my hair with Ezcema. I still have not been able to grow my edges back like I want to. I am still learning about more and more everyday.
My go to is Aveeno baby lotion and body wash with colloidal oatmeal
Dr. Stephen’s, I tremendously enjoy your informative videos. I would love you to do a review on the La-Roche-Posay Anthelios UV correct SPF 70 Broad Spectrum Lotion! I’m absolutely in love with it. I’ve tried so many other higher SPF (currently using Arazlo , and Cyspera) sunscreens and they all have left a horrible white cast. I suffer from Melasma , hyper pigmentation, breakouts and sensitive skin , so it is super important for me to protect my skin from the UV rays. This one here! Goes on smoothly, and feels like a light moisturizer, and does not feel oily in the humid conditions of South Texas. A little pricey, but worth it’s weight in gold!
I wish doctors in general were more willing to test for conditions more often instead of eyeing and guessing, right now I'm going through a rash on my feet where a doctor assumed it was ringworm and was treating me for it and after almost three weeks of not seeing any results I finally managed to get a referral for a dermatologist where they also just looked at it and prescribed me a cortisone cream, to this day I still don't know for certain whether its Ringworm or Dermatitis, I know steroid creams don't work on ringworm and could make it worst so I'm pretty much hoping and praying that its actually Dermatitis. If you're a doctor and you're reading this, please for the love of god stop your ego trip and just give your patience biopsies just for the sake of peace of mind, uncertainty is a cancer in the mind of someone who suffers from depression.
Perfect timing I have dyshidrotic eczema that gave me the worst flare
Hope you find these tips helpful!
Thank you! ❤
Thank you for watching!
Theres alot of research saying after a long period of time using moisturizer on the skin, your skin can be dependent on moisturizers, it can change your skin’s natural balance of water, lipids, and proteins. The result? Your body will stop delivering the skin’s normal, natural method of hydration from within. So initially lotion may help eczema but in the long term wont it only keep your condition around even longer? Can anyone help me change my mind?
Hi doctor this is kinda off topic. But im so thankful to have found your channel 💛 your beautiful and lovely for sharing your gifts and knowledge. However Iooked at alot at your videos tonight and I may have overlooked but have your a video specific to HS Hidradenitis suppurativa? I been suffering from this for years and particularly in my inner thighs and under my breast and ofcourse. Its just embarrassing at this I don't have money to see a dermatologist so im hoping to find a way to help treat it. Thank you if you can make a video about it. Id appreciate it so much. I also have some friends that I send over to watch to about the video we need help 😢
DAIRY IS A MAJOR FACTOR
Yes only one factor but I’ve cut it out all together and still have eczema. I’ve given up so many foods now I’m underweight. I’m frustrated with eczema. Summer coming and I cannot wear shorts or dresses no mater how hot it is.
@Mush2389 I feel you. Its so frustrating.
I love Aveeno & Vaseline.
Can you make a video on how to treat hyperpigmentation, patches and uneven thickened skin, that one can get from eczema scar? I'm 36 Yr today and I've been dealing with bad skin and dark spots all over my body and face since I was little. I can't even remember when I looked myself in the mirror and though I was beautiful. I hate it so much. I'm really thinking of traveling to the US or UK just to get help with this. Being black with eczema in Scandinavia is so not easy 😞
What do you suggest for the hyperpigmentation?
Can you please talk about hidradenitis suppurativa? Too many dermatologists don't take the time to actually research this painful skin disease, and I really would appreciate it if somebody cared enough to actually thoroughly research and study it.
Thank you for sharing. Please do a video on how to reduce or get rid of stretch marks for people who aren’t pregnant ?
Aww dr these are the basics. Need an advanced one for when this doesn’t work 😢 and a specific routine do what you use when flaring.
But I know know that I have the follicular eczema as well. 😮
Try using emulsifying ointment
@@barilengmakama9791 I’ve tried everything
i have eczema around my lips and it sometimes even turns purple. i tried doing everything and it has been one of the hardest things as a woman. i can’t put makeup around that area and because i’m arab my hyperpigmentation is so so bad and it has deprived me of makeup, laughing sometimes 😂 eating etc and it’s been a long and difficult journey with no results and it has severely put me into some type of depression
🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰❤️Best presentation on eczema I have heard. I have eczema. So I know!
So one random morning I woke up and had eczema I was itching really bad, I went on a four day dry fast and was taking cold showers it went away after the fast
Doc what do you do for bath time when you little one is allergic to oatmeal in regards to her eczema? I’m currently using Derma smooth oil with Aquaphora for her eczema this seems to be the only thing that has worked so far.
I sometimes takt a bath with a can of coconut milk
Hey Doctor!! Could you do a vid on what order to apply your skincare products?
This may seem like a random question, but you always have the most beautiful headbands. Where do you buy your headbands from?
Can't say thank you enough and I'm yet to try out the tips presented.
The presentation is informative and easy to comprehend.
Thank You!❤
Thank you Dr. Alexis this will be very helpful for my son and I. Especially me with my terrible scratching habits. Do you have any tips for healing from Pityriasis Rosea?
Amazing video. Can you tell me what lipgloss you are wearing? It’s look very hydrating.
Hi, I love your videos💓!! Could you please do a video on LED micro-current massagers? Are they worth the buy or more affective than guashas at sculpting the face? Any risks?
After the eczema I had during pregnancy a few 5 years ago, I was left with brown patches on my skin, darker then my skin, how can I reestablish locally my skin tone? Laser?
I am starting to have flare ups on my eyelids and sometimes use mometasone oint. Would like to see your daytime routine and different products you suggest for dry, eczema face
This is 4 Sure Gonna b so Helpful🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Sunday😀….
Happy Sunday! Thanks for your support🥰
Greetings d b hope u r well n Happy Sunday😀👍💜….
Hello Dr. Stephens. I would like to ask a question on a different topic. What are the best products to use on a burn to bring back the color on darker skin?
Thank you for the information about eczema. I have been bothered with this condition for years. Your information has been very helpful 👌.
Thanks so much💕 I feel seen by black dermatologists who have skin struggles as well. In another world I would have gone down that career path too
The Foderma Advanced Eczema Treatment has helped me manage my eczema symptoms without the use of harsh chemicals or steroids. It's a great option for anyone looking for a natural, gentle treatment.
