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.

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.

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.
