The main cause of eczema is overreaction of the immune system. Identifying certain foods, chemicals, etc can be very helpful in battling this disease. I try to avoid soy and milk products which trigger my flare-ups.
After using number of prescription drugs I’ve turned to the natural treatments.
Now I use herbal remedies from serenaskin.com, which aim at the root of the disease – the immune system, and are steroid-free.
After about 2 weeks of using ointment and spray my skin has been cleared up and now I just continue with anti-eczema extract, which controls the immune system. My skin has been clear for months now.
It is the only treatment I have found that provides me complete relief when I use it as directed.

Ask your doctor for something. Mine prescribed prevex (two types: one for “maintenance” and the other for days when my eczema flared up). Try using non-soap soaps (I know, a contradiction in terms) too. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Otherwise, the medicated cream is the best method. It’s steroid based.

both my daughter and i have eczema… use unscented soaps, lotions and detergent. i’ve noticed that warm baths before bed work also. when i was younger, my mother used to have me wear thin gloves so that i wouldn’t scratch in my sleep.
