I have both eczema and gout. Until recently I thought they were unrelated. I had taken allopurinol for a couple of months and it appeared that my gout was gone. When I then decided to stop taking allopurinol, my eczema slowly became more inflamed (redder and small bumps) over a 3 month period. After the 3 month period, my gout came back and on doctor's orders, started to take the allopurinol again. The day after, the small bumps and the redness on the eczema areas reduced dramatically. From then on, I could correlate the time when the gout pain would appear and when the eczema would get worse and vice versa. Since then, there are other websites which talks about the relationship between uric acid and eczema.
Since then, I have found that juicing fruits and vegeables with drinking lots of water helps to reduce the uric acid levels in my blood.
Joint inflammation and numbness are often associated with gout, but so are other conditions. It pays to check with a rheumatologist then you can get the treatment you need.
