Eczema Treatment Care

when someone has eczema, is it always due to an allergic reaction of some sort? examples: detergents, foods that sort of thing.

Also known as “housewife’s Eczema”…little fluid like blisters break out between my fingers and toes, and on the sides of my palms and soles of my feet. The heat is making it break out big time….does anyone have treatment suggestions?

i dont want to go to the doctor or use and prescription stuff. my eczema isn’t that serious, i just have those little white bumps on my arms. will it go away if i use lotion regularly? if so, what lotion do you recommend?
ohh & my eczema isn’t itchy. it sometimes it, but only once in a while. my eczema is just rough patches of skin

i know people with eczema and theyre one’s go away with steriod creams while mine never does.
doesnt matter what i put on it!!! it just stays….creams only reduces iching.

resently ive used beta ointment which is the strongest steriod cream and it hasnt done shit!

why is it like this?

My 6 yr old son has been suffering from moderate to severe eczema since he was two. We have tried every known medicine and even allergy shots. Today we had a visit to Duke Med Center and they had nothing new to offer us. I would like to try some alternatives to traditional/western medicine. If anyone has any suggestions (books, websites, ect), advice or similar experinces, I would love to hear.
Thanks.
thanks for all the answers. we are exploring food allergies, using some new natural products and trying to live a healthy and as minimally as possible. i will put it to vote.
