okay I am not a doctor or anything…..but I think it feels good because the water hitting your skin is a soft way to Itch it…I know when I sit in front of a heater too long my skin starts to feel itchy….it has something to do with drawing the blood closer to the surface of the skin…..I think… any ways my opinion on why it feels good is because when something itches… it feels good to scratch it….right?

i suffer from eczema and i use prescribed steroid creams. i use it twice a day. i find that my skin feels better after using the cream after i shower. I usually shower every morning. i feel that the cream is ineffective if i use it without a shower at night since i dont take a shower a 2nd time. i have eczema all over my body.

So should i take a shower twice a day? are there any other good remedies for this skin condition?

What is the best soap or shower gel to use if you have eczema? What is the best lotion? I want to get something I can buy at my local grocery store, walmart, eckerds. ect…. Thanks

I suffer from eczema. I want to add a shower filter at home to remove chlorine, magnesium, calcium and other minerals. (I live in a rented apartment, so I can’t make major modifications to the plumbing.) Which type or brand of shower filter do you recommend? There are so many websites out there each touting their own brand of filter and it’s hard to know which ones really work.

I took a shower with a bar of soap and my face started to burn. I have a dull red race on parts of my face. It real doesn’t itch but I can feal something. I think the redness may have gone down alittle. My bar of soap was near some mold int he shower and I think some of it got on the bar. Is this contact dermatitis?
