Creams never seem to work for me, but getting some sun appears to help tons to keep my excema at bay.

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!!!

I have eczema on my inner elbows and on my left inside knee. I can’t stop scratching!

She’s really good at not scratching at it during the day as we’ve taught her not to, but when she’s asleep she can’t keep herself from scratching.

Furthermore why does she only develop the eczema on her inner elbows and knees and only during the winter?

Last winter I used a baby eczema cream by healthy naturals and it worked ok. This year though I don’t think it’s doing anything.

Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated!
We use Dreft baby laundry detergent to wash her clothes.

Eczema has resurfaced on my skin time and again, but this time it doesn’t seem to want to go away. In the past, I have gone to a dermatologist or the nearest drugstore and the creams usually work. I know that I should probably go see my dermatologist, but I want that to be my last resort. Does anyone know of anything that works?
