I’ve had eczema since I was nine and it’s been getting worse lately. It covers my entire body from head to toe. I’ve been given pills and ointments, but they don’t help much. The eczema keeps coming back twice as bad each time I try something. It itches so much that I have trouble sleeping at night. What will make it go away for good? I can’t take the suffering any longer. I don’t trust those e-books.

Eczema is made worse by a couple of things. One is dry skin. The other is an allergic reaction to common household products or dermatitis.
When your skin is dry it opens up little breaks in your skin and lets allergens in and causes the eczema.
The first thing you need to do is to find products that won’t irritate your skin. Use hypoallergenic lotion or cream with no scent. – Eucerin cream is good.
Don’t wear perfume, and also be sure to wash your clothes in a detergent with no color or scent to it. Fabric softener, likewise, or don’t use it. Also rinse your clothes a second time to remove more of the detergent/fabric softener.
The other thing is to keep your skin well hydrated. Don’t let it dry out.
Also you might want to try either benadryl cream or calamine lotion to help with the itching.
You don’t say how old you are but has your doctor suggested a steroid like prednisone? If not, you might want to ask him about that. This is a short term drug you take internally to get rid of the eczema so hopefully you can keep it away.
Good luck and hth.

Question by Sam: My 6mt old has eczema,he is still nursing.How much apple cider vinegar should i drink to help his condition?
Does the apple cider vinegar that I drink have to be diluted with water?

Answer by Bravo
I don’t think there’s an actual limit on how much apple cider vinegar one can drink in a day. It is very nutritious and helps build a strong immune system. You just have to dilute it enough.

Normally for an adult, you want to use a solution which is 50% water and 50% apple cider vinegar.

But for baby this young, you probably want to use 20% apple cider vinegar and 80% water solution.
