You can find Champori cream (and spray) for eczema online. It is herbal (steroid-free) and works best for my eczema.

Thin slice of beef (preferably loin) placed onto the affected area(s). Ace bandage can be used to hold meat in place. Must be worn for at least 6 hours. Good luck!!

Question by ~~~נєѕѕ~~~ is bored with Y!A: Does drawing salve work on acne or eczema?
What are some other uses for drawing salve? Would it be safe for children (ages 4 and 9)? And where would I be able to buy it?

I asked this question earlier in a different section and the only answers I got were spam.

Drawing salve is usually petroleum based so I would not use it for acne.
If you are talking about a drawing salve that has pine tar/oil and petro based it is safe for kids that age.

I have seen it used on boils and staph. A very warm but damp cloth is used on the affected area until some of the pus is brought to the surface, clean this away ,cover with salve and bandage.This is for acute cases.

Exzema is sooo varied for causes, I would not use ANY petro based product on it.

It can also draw out the sting and itch out of bug bites and rashes,avoid the obvious lower regions for this product.

Prid’s is the main drawing salve I know about, these products have been around for a long time.Good Luck

He’s already seen his doctor plus a dermatologist. I have used Aquaphor (great on diaper rashes), Eucrine, Vanicream, CeraVe, and Cetaphil. Plus he’s gotten 2 presciption creams (some amts of steroids involved). In desperation, I’ve now used 1% hydrocortisone cream (huge amts of steroids). No use – he’s still scratching like mad and the cycle of bleeding, open wounds begins. Help!!!!!!
