Eczema Treatment Care

Question by majax79: Non Prescription treatment for Dyshidrotic eczema?
I can’t afford to go to a doctor but I have a breakout of Dyshidrotic eczema on the palm of my hands and the bottom of my feet.

Has anyone that has had this tell me of a over the counter treatment?

i have eczema on my scalp and my prescribed shampoo is expired and i don’t want to go back to the dermatologist, are there any good non prescription shampoos?

It makes no sense to me. Prescriptions are expensive, time-consuming, and require that you see a doctor. Why can’t they be over-the-counter? Is it because they can they be abused or dangerous? There are over-the-counter drugs that can be abused or that are dangerous. Why then are eczema cremes prescription only?

My eczema is so bad that lotion doesn’t seem to do anything anymore and in result, the skin around the patches is soft as a baby’s butt and the eczema is red and dry and irritated. I got a prescription for it, but since my eczema is on my hands, I never feel safe putting it on because I use my hands to eat, etc.

I hate eczema, and I’m not too fond of meds if I can avoid them. What do other people do to keep it in check?
