Question by Alvin: Ways how to remove eczema?
I had eczema when I was a child and I forgot how it was removed, probably all those cream that I have already forgoten. It disappeared but it only came back after a few years maybe six or seven years? At that time I was allergic to chocolate, chicken, and eggs. After my eczema was gone, I started eating all those forbiden foods, again for the last six or seven years. And I knew I had to pay the consequences when I reached the age of 15 and now I am 18 so I have eczema for the last 3 years now…

I have heard that Clabotosol is effective in “relieving” eczema so I tried it and it worked, the downside is that its not completely cured. I stopped using Clobatosol because I made a research and its very scary if I overused it considering the fact that its a steroids… Then I discovered Mederma but I am not really sure if I should buy one because I think it will only “relieve” the effects of eczema and not cure it, much like Clobatosol. I also did a research that eczema disrupts our immune system or sort of that which made me think that I should start taking Vitamin Cs.

So here’s the real question for eczema sufferers like me. Can you please give me YOUR ways on how you removed and cured your eczema? Should I start drinking or eating foods high in Vitamin C? Can you please list me the foods that I should avoid? Will exercises and having a balance diet help (since I am a fat person)? Also, will moisturizing lotion for men work for me?

I hope this is detailed for you guys so you can understand what I am talking about. Oh and I don’t believe almost all those offers from the websites. First because I don’t do online shopping because of the many hackers and other jerks in this world and second I don’t easily buy their “too good to be true” offers so please don’t bother posting sites that sells, sites that gives tips and advice are welcome though.

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer and I hope to hear your “words of wisdom” in the future.

Well i’ve never suffered from eczema but aloe vera gel has always been a long standing itch buster for any skin problem i’ve ever hadd, get the pure stuff too, not the ones loaded with other bad chemicals, and yes vitamin C (lemons) as well as cranberry juice and blueberries is also excellent (fights it from the inside) and also if you can expose the boils to some sunlight that’ll be great, bust the greatest justice you can do to your body will be to cut out the processed andprepackagedd junk from your diet (if onlytemporaryy), most human ills originate from the stomach so you can basically choose to feed or starve your infection lol.

Question by VixenMom: My 1 year old has eczema… and it seems to be getting worse!?
I’d like the opinions and experiences of parents who’ve had this problem and what you found to work. I’ve been using hydrocortisone 1%, but it doesn’t do the trick. The doctor said that usually they outgrow this by their 1st B-day (which was a week ago)… but I don’t see it getting better. It doesn’t seem to bother my son… I never see him really scratch at it. It is mostly on his legs and a few spots on his arms. I’ve also tried giving luke warm baths, not bathing as often, lotioning with Aquaphor, Eucerin, baby lotion… and still nothing. Has anyone visited a dermatologist for their infant? What was their recommendation? If your child outgrew it, how old was he/she? If one parent has the condition, is it likely the child will continue with it?

My 11 year old daughter has had eczema very badly since birth. I took her to a dermatologist at three years when it got really bad. He said she had extream eczema due to very sensitive skin. You are doing everything I have tried. The aquaphor has worked best for us but nothing has ever made it go away completely. Make sure you apply it right after the bath, that is very important. It helps lock in some moisture. You are very lucky that it dosn’t really bother him much. My daughter can’t sleep at night some times because she itches so bad.

Amy T,

In infants, eczema typically occurs on the forehead, cheeks, forearms, legs, scalp and neck. In older children eczema occurs on the face, neck and the insides of the elbows, knees and ankles. Most infants with eczema show significant improvement by the age of two and about 40% outgrow eczema entirely by the time they are young adults. Controlling eczema early can help keep it from becoming worse. Eczema in babies is sometimes triggered by lupus and usually responds well to home remedies. Neotnatal lupus is sometimes passed from mother to the infant during pregnancy and the birth process. Lupus antibodies can be transferred from the mother to the fetus and result in lupus illness in the newborn. Infant lupus usually causes a rash but fortunately it usually clears up after six to eight months if there are no complications. Lupus is actually an attack of the body upon itself. Lupus can take two forms, sometimes causing eczema and sometime attacking vital organs of the body. An infant with eczema should only wear soft all cotton clothing with no synthetic fibers. Parents with infants who have eczema should wash the child’s bedding and clothing only in hypoallergenic detergents and the clothing should be sent through the rinse cycle twice. Also, you should keep the child’s room and play areas free of dust mites because they are a common eczema trigger. Some parents don’t realize that baby eczema is often triggered by food allergies. One recent study revealed that about 40 percent of babies with eczema suffered from food allergies. Diary is often the culprit. Babies who are breast feeding may also get food allergies from substances in the mother’s milk. It is important for breastfeeding moms to especially careful about their diet. You should be very careful about using baby lotions on infants with eczema. Some of the lotions have a high water content that that can dry and irriate3 the skin when evaporation takes place. Some of the fragrances and active ingredients in baby lotion can aggravate eczema symptoms. Creams and ointments containing all natural ingredients should be used instead of baby lotions. Many health food stores have these types of products. Most parents find that natural home remedies are the best way to treat their infant’s eczema symptoms.

Question by Sarah T: Son has horrible eczema, tired of only being able to fix it with prescriptions?
My son is 2, has suffered with eczema for most of his infancy.

We’ve tried altering his diet ourselves in case something is flaring it up (Doctor refuses to refer us for allergy testing), we’ve tried goats milk soap, only bathing him in bath oil, washing his clothes, linen and towels only in fragrance free powders, and then re-rinsing them.
We’ve tried countless off the shelf ‘for eczema’ creams, and none are doing a thing, in fact several of those creams have flared our sons skin up again.

The only thing that seems to be working is prescriptions from the doctor. They provide short term relief but nothing more, and I am starting to worry about the long term affects these strong creams may have on his skin later in life.

Please help, has anyone been in the same situation? Is there anything out there that can help us?
I have asked for referrals, from 3 different GP’s about this matter, and they have all said he is too young for further treatment, and that he’ll simply grow out of it.
It’s getting beyond a joke!
Here we can’t see dermatologists without GP referrals.
