Exfoliative keratolysis

[ritadin]

Hi! I'm new to this forum. Can anyone help me please? E.K. is really driving me crazy! Isn't there a remedy? When the skin peels, it's painful. Please help!

Hi there, am I correct in thinking that you mean exfoliative eczema?  Where the skin peels off in buckets of flakes?  I used to have this and had to get rid of my carpet. I've now got tiled flooring.  I bathed in Aalgo seaweed every other day and moisturised with African shea butter which you get for £1 a block (a small one) in African food shops.  Ask your local African friend if you have any.  They'll point you in the right direction, otherwise you will pay an arm and a leg for it.

Shea butter will moisturise all the red sore bits and heal your skin overnight if it's sore.  Or at least within 3 days if it's infected. A little goes a long way so you only need £3 worth to last you for 2 months if not more than that.

HOpe this helps,
