DO NOT ITCH IT! i have eczema. if you have any cream, or first aid ointment apply it when itchy. the best remedy for itchiness is anti-itch cream. if it’s caused by allergies take a Benadryl but that will make you tired!!!

She has stopped washing hair for a few weeks now and the condition is still getting worse, but only on hands, side of hands all fingers and tips of fingers. Very itchy breaking out with cuts and bleeding. THe consultant has done test patching given her emollients to wash and rub in. Steroid creams not helping. Does anyone have any advice or help to give me?
