Essential Fatty Acids  See: http://www.causeof.org/efa_d.htm\n\nBUT\n\nI don't believe there is an answer for that question. I believe that excema stems from allergy of some substance. It's very hard to determin sometimes what that is. Probiotics and Essensial Fatty acids have the best results as far a deficiencys go.    \nI think if it were as simple as a deficiency there would be a treatment that worked (that was safe i.e. unsafe; elidil).\nLook at doctoryourself.com for the best vitamin/ nutrition info.

My daughter has it very bad, apricot oil did the trick for her.  Unfortunately eczema is one of those things that is very much a thing where you need to keep trying different things until you find something that cures it.  Another thing that was a great help for my daughter, swimming in the ocean, something about the salt water did the trick for her (unfortunately we moved away and salted baths didn't work).

Eczema is an allergy to either food or environment.  Try to determine what is causing your flare ups and eliminate the food or substance as best as you can. Some of the most common food allergies are milk, soy, eggs, nuts, corn.  Chocolate as well as food preservatives can also aggrevate the condition.

it's usually a symptom of a dietary deficiency\npossibly Vitamin B group or betacarotene

Vitamin B is supposed to help, as is Tiger Balm and other such lip balms. Kelp is supposed to be a really good supplement, and I think there's an electric device on the market (I've seen it advertised in magazines)....

Vitamin C, sunshine and FL mostly.

It really differs from person to person. I have eczema all my life. And I can eat dairy foods and chicken and whatever else other people gave as an answer. I haven't found any food trigger in my case. What brings on a flare up is the change in season, especially winter and summer. What I avoid is anything that has perfume. I use non-perfumed soap, detergent and fabric softener. The best think you can do for your eczema is to moisturize all the time 2x, 3x a day, more if you can.\n\nAs far as food, you are the best judge. Watch how you react to certain foods.

Iron deficiency. A daily multivitamin should take care of the problem.

Eczema is a form of dermatitis, or inflammation of the upper layers of the skin. Dermatitis severely dries out the skin,and keeping the affected area moistened can promote healing and retain natural moisture. This is the most important self-care treatment that one can use in atopic eczema.\n\nSee the Wikipedia link below, which includes a section on "Treatment"

Vitamin deficiency in geriatrics runs rampant.  Many skin integrity disorders are derived from poor vitamin intake; for instance a low albumin level can show marked regress of wound healing which is affected by a low protein intake. \n\nAnother strange malnutritional issue that plagues many elderly patients is bariatric malnutrition.  Yes, that is right.  But how you ask.  Think of it.  An overweight geriatric patient who is on a fixed income and can only afford meals that are cheap.  What kinds of meals are cheap?  McDonald's and Hamburger Helper, canned soups, confectioned cakes like Little Debbies etc.  Those meals tend to be high in fat, calories, and cholesterol etc. and are cheap.  The elderly patient consumes only these products and can gain weight but have virtually no nutritional value from these items.  A malnourished geriatric patient with obesity.\n\nOn other notes, a low vitamin A deficiency shows marked progression of eye disorders like macular degeneration and many skin integrity disorders like decubiti and xerosis (not to be confused with cirrhosis).\n\nHope this helps.\n\nRob

I don't think there is. Many of the lotions that are over the counter can make your eczema worse. It is best to talk to you physician about this.
