Eczema Treatment Care

I have tried Cetaphil lotion and wash; Vaseline with anti-itch cream; Aveeno wash and lotion; oatmeal baths; baby oil… and probably more that I can’t think of. Any ideas?

I have never had eczema in my life but since being pregnant I seem to be developing small patches all over my body. I don’t know how to prevent it but I am using cream to help reduce it. I totally understand your pain.

Good luck xx

I have really bad eczema and last night it flared up really bad. I now have really big red bumps up and down the whole length of my legs. Tomorrow is the first day of school and I really don’t want my legs to be looking like this. The obvious solution of wearing pants is out of the question seeing how its suppose to be 85 degrees. Any ideas on how to make my legs look more normal?

I know about dust, but what else anyone? Sometimes it just flares up really bad, and i don’t know why, please help x

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.
