Eczema Treatment Care

Question by Julie: Is it bad to run hot, hot water under eczema?
When my eczema is really itchy, I run it under hot water. Mostly my finger(where my eczema is). But I was always wondering if it’s bad to do that? It relieves my itch A LOT. And it makes the itch go away temporarily. Usually after I run it under hot water, my finger is red. Please help me out! Thanks.

I also suffer with eczema sometimes, awful. Hot water would make the skin dryer whcih is the opposite of what you want. You need to stay hydrated so drink loads of water with a small amount of sugar, like lemon slice or a small amount of cordial or honey. Sugar in the water will make your stomach think it’s food so it will go through your system quickly therefore hydrating you quicker. Believe me hydration will really help with yoyr skin condition, i thought it was rubbish until i tried it and it works.

Question by dj.hatchytt: My son has eczema, and keeps licking the rash under his lip.. How do I make him stop long enough for healing?

I don’t think that hotsauce will help… and it will hurt in the rash itself… and I’m not looking to cause him pain.

Someone saw my sons skin and told me that sulfur supplements would help his skin but I was skeptical cause hes so young.
Also hes allergic to milk, soy, rice, fish, and malt so we have to be very careful what we give him.

I have a massive amount of eczema on my scalp and so far the only solution is to shave my head. Is there any over the counter help i can get? id really like to have hair on my head without spending hundreds of dollars on medications that usually dont work anyways
