a lot of things contribute to eczema – dairy products being one of them. from my personal experience castor oil applied directly to the skin helps as well as homeopathic treatment. Cartozone creams were not good at ALL!

Question by erinh555: Help baby eczema: Vanicream and probiotics?
I have tried almost every cream/lotion out there (I think he hates the aquaphor as he wakes up every 2 hours when I give it to him) and my 9 month old still has severe eczema. I’m about to try Vanicream if I can find it. I REALLY don’t want to use the steroids. I also heard that probiotics work. Has anyone had experience with using Vanicream or probiotics? What probiotics did you use? How long until you saw an improvement?

my son had eczema REALLY REALLY bad for about 2 months. He had a bunch of tests ran on him because they couldn’t figure out what it was. My peditrician gave him a perscription for eucerin mixed with a steriod and I saw an IMMEDIATE difference. I used the combo lotion for about 5 days and it was completely gone… after i stopped it came back in small spots and i just applied eucerin and it would go away. Good Luck!

Question by Ashwini: i have some dry eczema in my hand with itching. Please help me out.?

Well, after 4 years I would say it is safe to stop wasting your money on the homeopathic remedies. Sometimes eczema is caused by bacteria on the skin’s surface. Try soaking your hand in a bowl of water with a tablespoon of bleach in it for a few minutes every night for a few nights. This will kill off most of the bacteria on your hand and may help if bacteria is indeed the cause. Helped my wife.

From what I have read, there is no cure for eczema. It is a chronic skin condition. I have a relative who has it and the whole side of his face gets covered in rashes at random times. Some clinics might do voluntary drug trials for eczema. You might want to check that out.
