ive actually read that salt water can be theraputic, chlorinated water in pools is the bad stuff, but anyway, if you just go to a pharmacist they can reccommend something for you. if it is pretty bad, you should see a doctor so they can prescribe some steroid cream or something.

Question by seeker: What are some methods that you’ve tried for scalp eczema and they worked?
I have the sort of itch where you can’t help but to scratch and that often causes me to lose hair in small patches. Especially in the winter time. I feel like I’ve tried everything but maybe there’s something that I haven’t. Any and all honest answers will be appreciated.

The only thing that has helped me over the counter is neutrogena t-gel. It is a tar coal shampoo. If that doesn’t help you should go see a dermatologist to get a prescription shampoo which is what I had to do. I have had SEVERE eczema my whole life. I know how itchy it is and it’s really terrible that they haven’t come up with a cure yet.

I have it spots all over my arms and shoulders and inside of my elbow and its so embarassing i cant even wear shortsleeve shirts does anyone know ANY way to get rid of it natural or not?
I have been to two doctors and they said to use a lotion that coincidently i am allergic to. I dont know what else to do i have done everything they have told me to do and used everything i can but nothing helps. I just wanted to see if anyone else had experience with this and knew anything i might not know.

Consult with your physician. You’ll need to consult with your family doctor to establish the type of hand eczema you’re currently suffering from. This will allow your doctor to better treat your condition.
#
Step 2

Apply a corticosteroid cream, like Temovate, on your hands each day. This prescription medication cream is commonly used for most types of eczema that affect the hands. What it does is essentially speed up the process of healing and treat the dryness and cracking that may occur during a flare-up.
#
Step 3

Wrap each hand in a cool, moistened washcloth. According to the Mayo Clinic, wrapping the hands in a moistened cloth can actually increase the efficacy of the cream and reduce both itching and blistering (which is common in dyshidrotic eczema).
#
Step 4

Start taking an antihistamine. Sometimes, your doctor may recommend that you start using an antihistamine as an adjunct treatment for hand eczema. This type of over-the-counter medication can help to eliminate the itchy sensation you’re currently feeling on your hands.
#
Step 5

Moisturize your hands with a fragrance-free hand lotion. Anytime you wash or wet your hands, you should thoroughly and gently dry them, and then apply a hand moisturizer.
#
Step 6

Swap out all your soaps and detergents for milder versions of the same product. Sometimes, soaps and detergents can worsen hand eczema, so you should consider switching out all these types of products for those that do not contain harsh chemicals, perfumes or dyes.
#
Step 7

Humidify your home. While using a humidifier won’t necessarily treat your hand eczema, it can change your environment for the better by adding more moisture to the air. Really, this is more of a concern during the winter months, but it’s a good practice to get into.
