Question by oh: Any suggestions for my bad eczema?
I have really bad eczema on my face. It makes my skin really dry and now I have a bad rash on my face too. My allergies are also bad, so my face is now red and itchy. Are there any suggestions to help clear my skin? Thank you.

I have read some natural remedies for that, they used banana peel, let it set on it several times a day for 10 minutes or so…honest, it was in my newspaper in the local doctors column ♥

Question by Kim: Does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of eczema product to use for my daughter?
I have a three year old daughter that has eczema. I’ve tried almost every product you can name. Elidel, hyrdocortizone, freederm, you name it, we’ve tried it. Nothing seems to help. She no longer itches the way that she used to, but the rashes are still there and itch occassionally. I know there’s no cure, but I just need something that is going to give her some relief.
We have been to doctors and doctors and doctors. We are just wasting time and money. Every cream they given her doesn’t work. She has been diagnosed with eczema and I just looking for some other type of relief for her. That’s why I am on this site! Thank you very much!

my suggestion would be to see a dermatologist.. over the counter stuff, may not be enough.
Assisting in self-diagnosis is not the purpose of this website. People with chronic forms of dermatitis or skin inflammation should have these conditions diagnosed by a physician. There are numerous types of skin diseases with manifestations similar to eczema, but they may be caused by allergies, bacteria, fungus, virus, etc. and in many cases, once diagnosed correctly these conditions can be treated effectively. This website is for people who have been diagnosed with eczema and seek alternate forms of relief and control, with no side effects. SEE BELOW

My son, daughter and husband have it. I have been bathing the kids in Dove and using an ointment the dermatologist prescribed but it doesn’t seem to work. The ointment also discolors their skin. I would like to try something more natural.

My 17 month old has eczema and it seems that I can’t really find a good moisturizing cream for her. She has a humidifier in her room and the doc gave me 1% Hydrocortisone cream to use when she gets really itchy. Any suggestions on a good cream? Thanks in advance!
