Dunk your feet in a pail of the hottest water you can stand for at least 15 minutes.  Scratch and let out the eczema ooze in the water.  Pat dry afterwards.  This will rid you of secondary infections and at the same time let the toxins out of the soles of your feet.

Foot spas and foot scrubs. If stubborn and hard use salicylic acid :-)

If your baby's eczema is the dry type, I would recommend you try Aqueous Cream from Boots the Chemist, or any other big pharmacy.  It is a simple emollient, without any lanolin or steroid, and can be used as a "soap" as well as a moisturiser.  It's kept body and soul together for me for years and I could not get by without it.  Expect to pay about £2.90 for a 500g tub, so it's really good value as well.

Try a lotion that's made specifically for cracked, dry feet. Look for an ingredient called "urea" (or "chemically synthesized urea"). That helps the skin keep moisture from escaping into the air, and it's been great on my elbows. Urea occurs naturally in our skin, but if we don't have enough, it may cause dry skin. Use it every day and within a week you'll be surprised at the difference. Urea is also used to treat eczema.

I don't know of anything that will work "for good", but using lotion and wearing socks can help.  Also, don't pick at the skin on your feet.

Kerasal works like a charm.  You can get it at most drug stores and it isn't incredibly expensive.  I put it on at night and then put socks on over it.  I also use a pumice stone every other day on my heels because I build callouses quickly.  It seems to help a lot.  \n\nOne other strange suggestion is to go to Walmart (or Target, Walgreens, etc.) and get the breastfeeding cream called Lanisoh.  It is used for chapped nipples and is made of pure lanolin.  It's very mild but works miracles on extremely chapped hands and feet.  Use at night under socks.  It has no smell and is pretty inexpensive.  I discovered this by accident and am a true believer.  I recommended it to a mechanic friend of mine and he swears by it now too.

Try cocoa butter. Or what you can do is buy Bag Balm. A pic is in my sources but before you go to sleep, put it on your feet, put a plastic bag over your feet and then put on some socks. Make sure you take off the bags before you walk and wash your feet because it's like vaseline. It comes off very hard.

I feel for you, I don't even want to spend $ to pay the doctor so I can get a $100.00 perscription.  My hardest chanllenge, is the "Hand washing issue".  It's cold season, so they say to wash my hand 5-10 times a day;  but my eczema hurts and water isn't good for my eczema...I'm in a rock and a hard place.\n\nHave you tried Astrazeneca.  This is a pharmacutical company that assists in getting med's.  Since you've already paid for the doctor, you may get help from this company.  I've never tried it. . .It may be worth you time, it may not be.  \n\nOtherwise, I found this web-artical 4 u.\n\n"Natural Cure for Eczema \nBanish misery with a cream?\nby Doug Dollemore\n\nRelated Articles \n \n>  Can This Tea Cure Your Rash? \n>  Eczema \n>  Herb Cure for Clear Skin \n>  Skin Care Quiz \n \nDiscussions \n \n>  Skin Diseases and Problems \n \nRelated Topics \n \n>  Eczema \n \nThe itch that won't quit may have met its match: A vitamin B12 cream could offer relief for the 15 million Americans with eczema, a dry, itchy skin condition.\n\nCorticosteroids can relieve symptoms, but they can also severely irritate skin.

The cream should be available later this year." 1

rachael is correct about the molds helping out tremedulously.\n\nIn the meantime, wear comfortable shoes like tennis shoes with good arch support and a thick sole.  Don't go bare foot.  Anti-inflammatories like motrin and aleve could help.  Soak foot in ice water.\n\nSteroid shot.\n\nPeople also use heel boots.  Heel boots have a thick heel insert so you are walking solely on your heels.  When you normally walk, the heal touches down first and then the ball of you foot.  This stretches your arches and the fascia.  When the fascia is stretched, the area with the problem gets irritated and pain result.  Heel boots prevent this normal walking cycle and forces you to just walk on you heels.  That allows the problem area to rest and hopefully heal.  Unfortunately, people sometimes suffer for months on end with this problem.\n\nHope this helps and good luck

Put cream on your legs or Vaseline, it'll keep your legs moist and help the socks stick to the skin...Good Luck!

Try soaking your foot in Epsom salts and warm water, making sure that you dry your foot completely.  Wearing sandals is helpful along with cotton socks, which you should change regularly.

(m)\n\nThe terms eczema and dermatitis are now used synonymously. They refer to a distinctive reaction pattern of the skin showing a combination of signs which depend on the duration of rash and type of eczema. \n\n\n\nHomeopathy offers very good treatment for eczema, but the approach used by homeopaths is very different from that of conventional treatment. Homeopaths usually do not give anything to apply topically. Instead they try to remove the basic disposition/sensitivity to develop such a lesion using internal medicine. This approach not only successfully removes the eczema but also removes the possibility of development of  other hypersensitivity disorders like asthma after the eczema is cured. To find the proper remedy a homeopath collects all the past medical history of the person, his/her family history, his/her physical and psychological characteristics etc. All this information helps the homeopath to find a remedy which not only will remove the eczema but will also remove the disposition to acquire such diseases. As a note of caution I would like to add here that after a proper remedy is given the eczema may occasionally ( not often) show a mild flare up. This should not worry the patient  as it is often considered a good prognostic sign by homeopaths.\n\nThere are many medicines in homeopathy that are used for this condition. ars-alb, bovista,  dulcamara, graphites, lycopodium, mezereum, peteroleum, rhus-tox, sulphur, cicuta etc are some commonly used medicines. But which medicine will work in a particular case can only be judged by a trained homeopath.

If it's a heel problem (on foot) then try some Bio-Oil and Flexitol heel balm. Also worth going for a pedicure to start things off. Good Luck
