I am an atopic dermatitis(eczema) patient.I've had eczema for 40+ years so I have a lot of experience in this matter.There is no cure for eczema;you have to be patient and let it ride its course.My worst flare up lasted for 4 years and I was under a doctor's care,and using prescription medicines the whole time.My flare up was on my hands,too. Here is what you need to do:\n\nDonot use soap,ever.Use Cetaphil lotion cleanser and Cetaphil bar cleanser for the bath/shower.My doctor advised me against frequent hand washing.Cetaphil's lotion cleanser lets you clean your hands with out water.Water is a drying irritant to atopic skin."Atopic" is the medical term for a certain type of eczema,an eczema that just happens because the skin is sensitive.\nJust follow the directions on the bottle. Put the cleanser on your hands,rub,lather up and wipe off with a soft paper towel or cotton towel and repeat.You can use the Cetaphil with water,too.After washing or cleaing the hands,you apply your medication(more about medication later).Then you use Cetaphil's cream moisturizer.Use the cream frequently during the day.The goal is to keep the skin moist.Cetaphil also makes a facial moisturizer.\n\nNow about shampooing. Shampoo is a soap,dear.Soaps are dangerous to atopic skin;drying and cracking happens because soaps dry out the skin.I used gloves whenever I washed my hair.You also need to change your shampoo to Nizoral, Denorex Tar-based,or Neutragena Tar-based shampoos if your scalp gets really dry.Otherwise,a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner is just fine.Since the rash is now off my hands and I don;t use the gloves,I have to use the Cetaphil cream moisturizer right after I wash my hair.It's a rule,whenever your hands get wet,you have to replace the moisture that the water took out by puting on the Cetaphil cream.\n\nAveeno preparations that are helpful are the bath preparations made with colloidal  oatmeal;the bath powder and the bath/shower oil along with the Cetaphil bar cleanser are what I use in the shower/bath.\n\nMedicines that I used were Lidex and hydrocortisone cream.I was lucky to have a dermatologist who was also head of a medical university dermatological teaching college. He developed a moisturizing hydrocortisone cream that is now available over-the counter;it's Cortaid with moisturizers.I also out of desperation tried prednisone;the steroid works for as long as you take it and there are side effects so you cannot take it for a long time.As soon as one stops taking the cpurse of steroids,the rash comes back...and one is left to deal with the side effects...a person is more prone to bleeding disorders because cortisone thins the blood.So,don't try Prednisone unless your whole body is affected by the rash. Two new prescriptions not to try are Elidel and Protopic;they are currently being investigated for being a cause of increased skin cancer risk.I tried Protopic;it burned my skin and I didn't use it and went back to hydrocortisone cream.I'm glad I did.\n\nYou will also need to take an antihistamine.Eczema and allergies go hand in hand.\n\nDO NOT USE THESE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS:\n\nVasolene,or any greasy preparation unless it's been prescribed to you by your doctor.\n\nScented products.Look for unscented products for laundry detergent,fabric softener,underarm anitperspirants... things that touch your skin shouldn't be iiritating and added scents are irritants.\n\nAvoid over- the- counter salves and lotions that contain  benzocaine and antihistamines.\n\nStay away from products that contains Alpha-hydroxy acids,sugar acids,acids of any kind,unless your doctor is using it as part of your therapy.You can end up doing serious damage to your skin!!\n\nStay away from lanolin.It causes allergies,plugs up oil glands, and just makes eczema worse.\nOTHER HINTS\nDon't do dishes and other wet-work if you can avoid it.If you can't avoid it you need two types of gloves:rubber glove

Antihistamines are not used to treat eczema, but topical steroids are. Usually I moisturize to stave off my eczema (usually it's just atopical dermatitis). But when it gets to the point where it does blister and peel, I get a steroid cream from my dermatologist. The steroid cream quells the inflammation by suppressing local immune response which will stop the flare up. Moisturizing only relieves some of the discomfort.

First you should understand that people suffer from eczema for different reasons, diet, contact, exposure to sun light or even certain chemicals or ingredients in frabrics and cleaners you may use everyday. But being some who has suffered from eczema I know the frustration so here are a few suggestions: First, when treating the skin, you must thoroughly clean the area with either witch hazel or hydrogen peroxide, this will reduce surface bacteria and open your pores. Second, you need to apply pure aloe (from the plant) to area. Trust me this plant woks miracles. You should do this at least twice a day, especially after you shower. Then, to prevent further spread you must filter the water in your shower and sinks. Tap water contains plenty of things that can cause or aid in the development of eczema. Use lotions or deoderants with no fragreance. These extra smell goods will adgitate the skin as well. Change the products you use to wash and dry your clothes and sheets in, they also contain harmful chemicals that are not good for the skill. AVOID SKIN CREAM. WHY? Because skin creams only provide TEMPORARY relief and does nothing to adress the cause. I hope I have been of some help. Let me know it works. As far as the scalp is concerned you should use an all natural shampoo, avoid scratching, and avoid sweating if possible. Keep hair cut close useing scissors only.\n\n\n        Tha_Kure

I have eczema - I went to the general doctor. He told me it was a rash - gave me something that helped a little but didn't get rid of it.\n\nI went to a dermatologist. He prescribed protopic. Cleared it right up. Occasionally it flairs up and I treat it. \n\nCheck with a dermatologist. And remember, no one else notices your condition as much as you do.

Western and some Easterm medicine will only "mask" the symptoms with creams or ointments. If you're interested in ridding yourself of this, you may want to try looking into the product "Threelac". I've provided you with the link below.....Really READ about it first and do the saliva test! \n\nI'm currently on this program for my eczema problems which is a sister illness to psoriasis. Although I've recently sent out a question to this site about my condition, I'm still convinced that the problem lies within my intestines. I'm just curious to see what other people have to say about it....\n\nRegardless.....if you do decide to go with this program....I recommend these folks over any of the others....they are very helpful on the phone with any questions that (YOU WILL HAVE) during your cleanse......\n\nMuch success to you!\n\n:)\nPeace \n\nSource(s):

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.

All the above answers are actually very good; there is not one simple solution to eczema.  Things that contribute to eczema include allergies to things such as foods, perfumes or soaps and it is helpful to try and identify these if possible.  Most of the time, it is impossible to do so and instead skin care plays a major role.  Avoid scratching if possible; sometimes this requires the use of topical Benadryl, steroids or Calamine to reduce the itching.  To avoid drying out the skin which precipitates many bouts of eczema, use as mild a soap as possible or, preferably, none at all.  Particularly in infants, the use of soaps or shampoos really isn't necessary and only serves to dry out the skin.  Also, avoid excessively long baths or showers for the same reason.  When drying off, don't rub the skin as this removes a lot of the natural oils.  Pat or air dry.  Then, apply a moisturizer (Eucerin is a good one without perfumes or colors) immediately to prevent drying out of the skin.  Vaseline works great for this as well, but can feel greasy afterwards.  Usually, these measures will lead to improvement in the eczema.  However, topical steroids may be necessary.  In general, these are quite safe.  In more severe cases, topical tacrolimus or pimecrolimus (Protopic or Elidel) may be useful.  However, these are associated with more side effects and are best left as a last resort.

Doctors say there is no cure for it. There are creams and ointments to help control eczema, such as Fluocinonide, which is an ointment consisting of White Petrolatum, Castor Oil and Sorbitan Sesquioleate. I find this to be very helpful. If you don't have a prescribed medication, I would suggest that you apply petroleum jelly to help keep the area from drying out.

Noxzema does NOTHING for eczema.  It was NOT made for that, it was made to clear up skin suffering from acne, NOT eczema.  The two have NOTHING to do with each other.  There are several OTC cremes you can purchase but to totally clear it up you need to go to a dermatologist and get a perscription.

Moisturizing\n\nDermatitis 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\nThe use of anything that may dry out the skin should be discontinued and this includes both normal soaps and bubble baths that remove the natural oils from the skin.\n\nThe moistening agents are called 'emollients'. The rule to use is: match the thicker ointments to the driest, flakiest skin. Light emollients like Aqueous Cream may dry the skin if it is very flaky and whilst it is the moisturiser traditionally prescribed by doctors in the UK, it is in fact only licensed for use as a soap substitute on washing.\n\nEmollient bath oils should be added to bath water and then suitable agents applied after patting-dry the skin. Generally twice daily applications of emollients work best and whilst creams are easy to apply, they are quickly absorbed into the skin and so need frequent re-application. Ointments, with their lesser water content, stay on the skin for longer and so need fewer applications but they must be applied sparingly if to avoid a sticky mess.\n\nTypical emollients in the U.K. are: Oilatum or Balneum bath oils, Aqueous cream for washing with, Diprobase or Doublebase pump-action creams also used for washing and may be later applied directly to the skin. The preferred moisturiser of dermatologists is a mix of liquid and white-soft paraffins. Sebexol, Epaderm ointment and Eucerin lotion or cream may be helpful with itching. Moisturizing gloves can be worn while sleeping.\n\nSome report improvement of symptoms after treatment of the skin with porridge oats, either directly or with an extract. Others report improvement of symptoms after treatment of the skin with the rich natural oils contained Repcillin, a skin balm containing crocodile oil.\n\n\nEczema and detergents\n\nThe first and primary recommendation is that people suffering from eczema shouldn't use detergents of any kind unless absolutely necessary. The current medical school of thought is that people wash too much and that eczema sufferers should use cleansers only when water is not sufficient to remove dirt from skin.\n\nAnother point of view is that detergents are so ubiquitous in modern environments and so persistent in tissues and surfaces, safe soaps are necessary to remove them in order to eliminate the eczema in a percentage of cases. Although most recommendations use the terms "detergents" and "soaps" interchangeably, and tell eczema sufferers to avoid both, detergents and soaps are not the same and are not equally problematic to eczema sufferers. Detergents increase the permeability of skin membranes in a way that soaps and water alone do not. Sodium lauryl sulfate, the most common household detergent, has been shown to amplify the allergenicity of other substances ("increase antigen penetration"). (For example, Corazza M, Virgili A, Allergic contact dermatitis from ophthalmic products: can pre-treatment with sodium lauryl sulfate increase patch test sensitivity? Contact Dermatitis.\n\nThe use of detergents in recent decades has increased dramatically, while the use of soaps began to decline when detergents were invented, and leveled off to a constant around the '60s. Complicating this picture is the recent development of mild plant-based detergents for the natural products sector.\n\nUnfortunately there is no one agreed upon best kind of cleanser for eczema sufferers. Different clinical tests, sponsored by different personal product companies, unsurprisingly tout various brands as the most skin friendly based on specific properties of various products and different underlying assumptions as to what really determines skin friendliness. The terms "hypoallergenic" and "doctor tested" are not regulated (according to Consumer Reports), and no research has been done s

There is no allopathic (modern) cure for psoriasis! The medication will only be able to limit or contain the condition.\n\nHowever, homeopathic medicines are known to be very effective against psoriasis. So a homeopath will help!

Eczema can be treated with the use of emollients and topical corticosteroids to reduce  inflammation.(Emollient means softening, making supple; relaxing; soothing to the skin.)
