Eczema Treatment Care

We normally lotion him twice a day with regular Johnson and Johnson lotion. The doctor said that we can’t use regular lotion anymore. We have to use a cream. She recommended aveeno or eucerin. Is there anyting else out there that you would recommend?

Question by Misc: As diagnosed by my doctor, I have eczema on my scalp. What can I do to relieve the itching?
I have been given a liquid and a shampoo, but with my incredibly thick hair, it is a challenge to get to the scalp. Even the dermatologist thought this may be an issue. Do any of you have a home remedy or over-the-counter purchase that has provided some relief and can get to the scalp, through thick hair?

Tea tree oil may help. Or get a shampoo with Tea Tree shampoo. I know you mentioned over the counter but Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo is awesome for soothing heads with eczema and other itchy type scalps such as psoriasis.

You can also get tea tree oil at any health store. You can suspend a few drops in some massage oil or other hair oil and massage your scalp for a few minutes, then shampoo and rinse. Make sure the get into all the itchy patches that you may have!! It does cause a tingly sensation on the scalp, and some people do not expect this and it scares them!!

Good luck!!

I have been prescribed the moisteriser DoubleBase to use on myface,it seems to work however certain patches of Eczema keep coming up, meaning i have to use the Hydrocotisone frequently.

I’ve used it for about 2 months now and im worrying about the side effects. Are there any alternatives???

Thanks!

Do they give you a blood test? Is it just based on visual symptoms? I get some dry itchy patches and acne. My derm said it looks like I have Eczema and to use hydrocortisone cream. But I would like to know for sure. Should I go back and have any tests done?
I really wish people would read and answer my whole question :/
