Answer by Alvy
you should use silcox base, it comes in a massive tub and you lather it on at night so it soaks into your skin overnight, and you could use E45 cream during the day, because cortizone thins out your skin and you will be left with very thin skin if you use it regularly, just use it for break outs..GOOD LOOK HUN!!

Im currently using warm 7 foundation and concealer

If you have eczema on your face I recommend clearing it up before you even consider putting make-up over it (I’m a fellow eczema sufferer, have been for years). After that, I imagine bare minerals would indeed be gentler on your skin if it is sensitive (I say this because I have eczema but my skin isn’t particularly sensitive- a very weird paradox I’ve never understood).

My daughter has eczema and on her body and it looks like scaly patches. Now she has a bright red patch on her face and I’m not sure if it could be eczema or something else? Does it look different on the face?

I suffer from eczema on my wrists and the trunk of my body which seems to become more angry the older I get.

I’ve tried steroid creams, but they do thin my skin, and some of the so called miracle cures available online that just seem to be a useless rip-off.

Has anyone heard of a better solution?
