Pompholyx Breakout Helpful Hints

Always remember, ice helps ease the itching!  I take an ice pack to bed with me wrapped in a pillow case every single night whether I'm itchy when I go to sleep or not.  I tuck it under the blankets at the foot of the bed and that if itching from my Pompholyx  breakouts wakes me up in the night, I can simply pull the ice pack over to my foot and the itching eases allowing me to get back to sleep faster!  I recommend it for the hands or feet!

My rules to live by for comfort with Pompholyx:

Neem Oil may smell bad but it helps relieve the itching when applied topically!

Yeast, Gluten and any processed foods make my itching and Pompholyx blisters worse, avoid them as much as possible!

Avoid stress if possible!

Soak your feet in Johnson's Foot Soap to keep skin soft and avoid calluses on your feet from excessive scratching!

Take a daily yeast preventative such as AZO Yeast which believe it or not has helped relieve my itching as well as reduce Pompholyx breakouts!

After soaking treat your feet to a fresh tingly sensation and keep them soft and supple by applying Burt's Bees Peppermint Foot Cream!  This one isn't required or help with the itching but it will make your feet feel nice and keep them soft which is helpful as the skin will thicken and callus due to scratching!

Pompholyx Worse During Winter Months?

My blog and website had been getting an increased amount of activity during December and it seems to me I remember that my symtoms seem to be worse in December as well. I wondered, could it be due to the colder weather causing dry skin and increasing irritation inducing a Pompholyx outbreak?........OR....could it be due to my theory that an over abundance of yeast is really the reason for Pompholyx outbreaks?

Look at it this way, have you been eating any Christmas cookies, candy, highly processed Chrifstmas treats or maybe things you would not normally eat? If so then I could be correct in saying yeast or Candida might just be the culprit.

I have had tremendous luck taking a regimen of products that help control yeast or Candida. Even when not quite eating the way you should (such as limiting sugars and processed foods) these products help eliviate or reduce symptoms greatly. Take them when you are eating right and your symptoms are virtually non-existant! When ordering these products I would also recommend ordering them in gluten free formulas to be sure you don't have any sensitivity to gluten or wheat that may also be causing skin irritation. I will not be without these products they give me so much relief they are worth every penny!

In a previous post I listed these products with olive leaf extract and caprylic acid as two separate products however since that post I actually found a product called Candida Clear that contains the caprylic acid along with a couple other yeast fighting ingredients and I love it! It works wonders so I'm including links to the products for you to review below! I hope that you find this list helpful, and that it gives you the relief you've been hoping for just like it did for me!


Candida Clear Formula 180 Vcaps from NOW Foods - $15.97 for 180, you will take 2 of these twice a day! These will contain your caprylic acid along with other yeast fighting ingredients.




Now Foods Olive Leaf Extract 500mg 60Vcaps - This stuff is just awesome, it's great for all kinds of skin conditions!




Now Foods Virgin Coconut Oil Certified Organic 20 fl oz - Take one to two tbsp. per day for extra caprylic acid and anti-fungal properties. Not to mention it improves skin and helps speed up your metabolism.




Now Foods L-Glutamine Powder Free Form 6oz - This product repairs the holes that are left in your intestines from the yeast that dies off from the products above so it's pretty important too. You will take about 1 tsp. mixed with water or juice twice per day.



And lastly:


PB 8 Pro-Biotic Acidophilus Vegetarian, 60 Cap - This is a really great probiotic that you will take once per day to rebuild "good" bacteria in your body to keep yeast from coming back.

I am using all these products and though money is very tight for me, I have found them to be worth their weight in gold since I can now be pretty much pompholyx and itching free!! I really mean it, please try them. If can't afford them all at least try the candida clear and go from there.

Please write and let me know how it all worked for you!

Trying To Mind My Diet P's and Q's

After a few weeks of eating everything and anything under the sun and itching like crazy I have spent the last few days minding my diet p's and q's, not having any wheat or gluten and tonight my foot is only mildly itchy, doing much better when avoiding those foods that instigate pompholyx eruptions.

Another Sign Excessive Yeast In The Body Affects Pompholyx Eczema

As most people know antibiotics not only kill bad bacteria in your body that make you sick, they also kill good bacteria that keep you healthy.  Well due to a urinary tract infection I have been taking an antibiotic.  After a few days on that I noticed my pompholyx eczema was erupting and my foot was severely itchy.  At first I thought, what is going on, I have been watching what I eat quite carefully and hadn't had anything that would normally cause my breakouts when a mental light bulb went off that was like, ahhhh, antibiotics are killing my good bacteria and now excessive yeast is on the rise! 

I have started the following regimen on top of the Neem Capsules and Neem Oil to eliminate excessive yeast and not only am I less itchy (everywhere) I lost a bit of weight too just from taking it! Do your body a favor and check out the following list:



olive leaf extract

caprylic acid
 
PB 8 Pro-Biotic 

L-Glutamine Powder

Cold Pressed Coconut Oil


The way these products work together is amazing! The caprylic acid and olive leaf extract taken toghether kill the excessive yeast in your intestines that are causing you many problems you may not even realize. The PB8 is a probiotic that replenishes the good bacteria in your body, much like when you eat yogurt with live cultures but on a much bigger and bettter scale. The L-Glutamine powder fills holes left in your intestines that the yeast has left warding off parasites, allergies and more. Finally about 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil per day give you a little more caprylic acid tremendously improving skin conditions and even help control weight!! I am on this entire regimen and though the first purchase is a bit pricey the relief and other benefits are well worth it, trust me!!

Yeast and Pompholyx?

Pompholyx (Dyshidrotic eczema)is a perplexing condition to say the least. Even medical websites and doctors seem to have the "well..... I don't really know" attitude, telling you that no one really knows what causes the condition and usually treating it with things like steroids which are really only a temporary fix, like putting a band-aid on a deep wound that actually requires stitches.

As I've mentioned the Neem Leaf Capsules and Neem Oil (which you can find more information about on my website) do help to reduce Pompholyx eruptions and those horrible itchy bubbles in the skin but also the things that I eat seem to have direct affect on my condition. I have been paying very close attention to these outbreaks for quite some time and researching like crazy and in addition to white processed flour and any grain I know now that excessive yeast is a huge culprit which makes perfect sense because flour, grains and things like that have high sugar content which feeds yeast! Here's how I discovered it:

I found another site where a girl said her Pompholyx is due to a yeast issue (too much yeast in the body) and that when she stayed away from white breads, cakes and anything that might feed yeast or contain yeast, her Pompholyx condition sort of went into remission! I thought to myself that makes sense, maybe it's not just the starches or grains like I thought, maybe it's the SUGARS in those products that feed yeast and cause a flare up!

So, being a woman I recently had a vaginal yeast infection after a weekend of chowing down on large amounts of skittles lol.  I don't know if that made it happen, but it was allot of sugar. During the same time as the vaginal flare up my right foot had a Pompholyx outbreak that was pretty severe for me lately. I went to the store to get treatment for the vaginal yeast infection in which I purchased something homeopathic called Azo Yeast Infection Prevention along with YeastGard Probiotic Douche which at the time had nothing to do with my incredibly itchy foot but in hopes of relieving the itchy vaginal yeast infection and I must say that the products were both amazing!!  Much to my surprise not only did I get fast almost instant relief from the vaginal itching but my Pompholyx breakout cleared up!!  It was then that I remembered what I read about the yeast causing the girl's Pompholyx eruptions and so now I am trying to avoid sugars or anything that contains yeast and it's helping quite well!

I read a great article I found online about the different problems too much yeast in your body can cause and it's quite amazing.  In this article were a list of products that will help eliminate excess yeast causing improvements in everything from skin condition to weight control! Here's the list I recommend for reduction of yeast which can help reduce Pompholyx, reduce weight, increase mental clarity and more!


olive leaf extract

caprylic acid
 
PB 8 Pro-Biotic 

L-Glutamine Powder

Cold Pressed Coconut Oil


The way these products work together is amazing! The caprylic acid and olive leaf extract taken toghether kill the excessive yeast in your intestines that are causing you many problems you may not even realize. The PB8 is a probiotic that replenishes the good bacteria in your body, much like when you eat yogurt with live cultures but on a much bigger and bettter scale.

I am on this entire regimen and though the first purchase is a bit pricey the relief and other benefits are well worth it, trust me!!
If anyone else has any experience with excess yeast issues I would love to hear form you!  Hope you find this new information helpful.

 

P.S.  Just a tip I'd like to share on a non-related topic is that I also suffer from urinary tract infections on what used to be a regular basis and if you don't know about the AZO product line I want to make you aware.  These are miracle products as far as I'm concerned, they work very well just like they promise.  If you've had a UTI you know it's miserable and these quickly take the pain away while you wait to see your doctor or whatever treatment you personally use.  Not only does the AZO Yeast relieve yeast infection discomfort, but their AZO Standard Maximum Strength Urinary Pain Reliever will have you writing them a thank you letter!!  I promise!
