Re: Inner Ear Ezcema

[ Edited ]

@Julie_23 I get eczema in certain parts of my body when I go off my "food intolerance"

list.   It can show up anywhere on the body and tends to move around to different places.

 

For the past year whenever I get a flareup it's right on top of my left foot in the same place - so weird!!  

 

Food elimination testing is the only way to find out what the culprit is and yes it's hard to do.  It's different for everyone.  I can have all the sugar I want, not a problem.  Give me an avocado or two, some nightshade foods (potato, eggplant, tomato) and look out.

 

I've mentioned it here before, I wish the dermatologists would bring the "food" allergies into the discussion and find the solution for good instead of prescribing and masking it with every cortisone cream under the sun!

It's interesting - the development of ezcema in the "inner" ear.  Ezcema, usually related to allergic/histamine/complicated set of reactions occurring in the inner ear bring thoughts of destruction of the "hair" cells, which really are the ends of nerves and, therefore, cause loss of hearing.  Wondering if you have incurred a loss of hearing with this condition in a place which surgeons find challenging to enter in order to implant teeny lead wires for choclear implants.  Just wondering...
