Fellow eczema sufferers, do any of you find hot water soothing on affected areas?

I do, but i was wondering if anyone else does. (doesn’t seem to actually improve skin but does seem to help with pain and itching).
If you don’t find this helps what do you find soothing?

Hi Magic
Here is a herb remedy that will work.
1. Take 1-3 droppersful of Echinacea Plus Tincture (at herbdoc.com or another qualified site) to strengthen the immune system.
2. Rub Garlic oil ALL over the affected area (Garlic will kill anything if you use enough of it)
3. Give 1-3 glasses of Activated Charcoal Slurry per day (to absorb the toxins out of the blood)
4. Mix equal parts of Aloe Vera Gel, Slippery Elm Powder and Activated Charcoal Powder together (absorbs the toxins externally)
5. Apply a thin layer of this mixture over the AFFECTED area(s).
6. Continue this treatment, until the desired Results are achieved.
This is healing at it’s highest point.
Cause
Eczema is often called Dermatitis, and may be a symptom of an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency. Eczema can be due to allergies, allergies secondary to digestive disorders such as hydrochloric acid deficiency, rashes secondary to immune diseases, genetic metabolic disorders, and/or nutritional deficiencies, especially of niacin (vitamin B3) and B6, as well as other B vitamins.
To minimize your risk of developing eczema, avoid irritating substances, wear natural nonirritating materials, use soothing ointments, and check to see if dietary, nutritional, and/or and allergy-causing factors need to be considered.
Other ideas that will help:
Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can help speed healing: black currant and red grapes; carrot, beet, spinach, cucumber, and parsley; and wheat grass juice.
Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin A and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), an omega-6 essential fatty acid found in high quantities in evening primrose oil, have both been shown to improve the symptoms of eczema. Vitamin E. Other useful supplements for preventing and reversing eczema include vitamin B complex, vitamin B6, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc.
Topical Treatment: Apply evening primrose oil directly to cracked and sore areas of the skin. A topical paste made from ginkgo and licorice root extract has also been shown to improve eczema symptoms.
Best of health to you

Okay,my daughter suffers very badly from the eczema and although the warm water helps soothe the itching. It makes it worse when you dry off.The warm water or cold water will cause the skin to dry up and makes the itching even worse at times. It’s after the bath you have to use alot of moisterizing cream. Aveeno Oatmeal cream is very good,johnsons baby oil, cocoa butter….but stay away from any creams that have alcohol in them.Makes the dry skin 100 times worse. Try to make showers and baths short and sweet. In and out and use moisterizing special soaps often.

I have eczema rash on my torso, legs and arms for many months. The itch is especially bad after showering. Recently, I tried a hot water relief method I found on the internet. It involves turning up the water heater till the water is scalding hot and applying it to the infected areas. The sensation goes like this. You will feel and intense itch at first. Then it feels like you are getting a good scratch. So good your hair will stand on their ends! Orgasmic. The itch disappears and the pain from the scalding water will tell you to stop applying the water jet before you cook yourself. The heat draws out the histamine from your pores and you get a respite from the itch for at least three hours.
Lately, I bought a infrared lamp (infraphil) from Philips to simulate the heat sensation from the hot water. The results were equally orgasmic. I think the lamp is more energy efficient and perhaps safer if you have rashes near the privates.
