Eczema Treatment Care

I have tried everything from the right detergent, the right lotions, I bought a humidifier, and using the right stuff in the shower, I’ve been to three different dermatoligist as well. I heard using a tanning bed might help. Does any one know if this is true? This is my last hope.

Question by Rhonda A: I have had something behind my ears for months and i think it might be eczema?
I have had something behind both of my ears for about 10 months now. Its red sore and itchy and my sister tells me it’s eczema. She gave me some medicine but it hasn’t been helping. It’s really annoying because it oozes out clear stuff and gets in my hair. Can someone recommend some kind of medicine that helps?

This does sound like an eczema and it’s in a usual place, it’s warm and damp there. Get some Hydrcortosone cream 1% if you can get a script for 2.5% it would be better. Change your bath soap to Dove unscented and no color. Try “Horse and mane” shampoo, it works well.
Make sure you wipe dry and keep dry in those spots so, other then seeing an allergist, this is all you can do. The doc can give you Atrax 10 mg. and a few weeks of prednisone steroids or a steroid shot, it will help clear it up.

Please help my daugthers hands are so red, I think she may have eczema, and I am gonna take her do a doctor it just takes awhile to get in, being we just moved here, so could anyone let me know if there is something over the counter I could get till we go to the doc?

This kid has eczema and has had it all his life. They say theres no sure fire cure, you just simply grow out of it. His doctor said to try Proactive.

So I was diagnosed with scabies yesterday and a couple weeks before this I was diagnosed with dermatitis and I don’t know which is correct? I got the cream and put it on last night and washed my clothes and bedding but I don’t think I have scabies because I haven’t been in close contact with anyone except my bf and he doesn’t have scabies. I read that it can only be contagious through prolonged skin to skin contact and I want to know if that’s true. I am scratching a lot but it’s not keeping me up at night. The doctor who diagnosed me with it did no testing and just said that’s what I had in like one second of looking at it and not even looking at it closely so I am having doubts that I have it. I am currently living with my parents and now they are worried about getting it but I think they would’ve had it by now and I just don’t know how I got it in the first place?? If you can help me that would be great! Thanks!
