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

My daughter in law and my nephew both have eczema.  They use a product called Eucerin...it works great. I worked with cardboard for years on my job and have very dry hands. I use it all the time......love it....don't use anything else. If you decide to try it, get the cream in the jar. For some reason  the lotion dosen't work as well.

i have eczema and we find there is no cure for it but i have steroid medication that i use (sometimes i have to take pills but other ointments)  go to your doctor and she can look into prescribing you triamcinolone which is an ointment that helps me a lot.  (try eucerine or aquaphore) also if possible use color and scent free detergent and try dove soap no dryer sheets avoid skin contact with lotions that have scents in them  (shae butter is good for your skin) and since i'm only 15 and i still amaze doctors with how bad my eczema came out  they put me on the wet pj treatment which you get your clothes wet like dunk them in water and ring them out.  then take a bath and soak with nothing don't wash your hair or body and just soak for 15 minutes when you're done put on non scented lotion or your prescribed treatment while you're doing that put your clothes in the dryer to warm them up and then put them on and go to sleep it works wonders because the moisture stays on your skin   \n\neczema is a non curable disease and it is caused by a build up of dead cells since the cells reproduce more rapidly than others peoples skin\n\nlike i said i'm 15 and mine is terrible but that does help your skin.

A preparation from seaweed.\nFor reliable advice look here:\n\n**ADDITIONAL**\nI need to add a reply to the comment by elfriliminator (below) and supply additional references. 'Hair analysis' and 'geopathic stress' are quackery. Nonsensible pseudo-science. There are no medical/scientific references to these dubious claims because they do not exist.

NEUTROGENA-Daily therapy dry scalp t gel shampoo! It is the only thing that works. Give it a few days to work though, and after that, use it every other day!

Fill a bag of muslim cloth with rolled oats and put it under your warm water bath tap when running your bath. This has a soothing effect and reduces itching. I suffered with eczema on my lower legs and feet for a couple of years and found the oats offered a little temporary relief. But eventually my eczema went away after having a course of cortisone injections. All the very best to you and hope you find something that works for you too.

Try Tinaderm which you can get from a pharmacy for a few dollars.

I used to have incredibly bad eczema on the palms of my hands. I never used Elidel or any other prescription medicine. I did have some success using MSM cream topically, and if it does come back I'd suggest giving it a try. I buy it at my local co-op grocery, but you could either try health-food/natural pharmacy type places, or else find it on line. The brand I used, which I thought was the best, was Source Naturals.\n\nBut there's a happy ending: after struggling with it for nearly 20 years, all of a sudden it just cleared up--completely! And there has been no trace of it for about 7 years now. I have no idea why it suddenly got better; I wasn't doing anything differently. But if it happened to me, it could happen for you.\n\nBest of luck. Believe me, I know what a life-disrupting condition this can be.

Less is definately better.  My sister had severe and I mean severe eczema and small bouts of sun and or sun therapy did help dry it out - however - too much of it will cause your skin to become so dehydrated and irritated that it will do much more damage and could cause a huge inflamation that will debilitze you.  You must only go to the bed for 10 minutes at first.  ONLY 10 minutes.  You must NOT go for 30 because you will not only risk a third degree burn - but your psoriasis will become inflammed and cause you more grief.  \n\nIf you do the 15 minutes - do that after your first treatment of 10.  I promise, you have to be gradual or you will severely pay with your skin.

Exfoliating is the answer. There are scrubs and mittens that do the trick. Speak to a dermatologist or speak to your pharmacist they can help. good luck :-)

Wash with Cetaphil, Aveeno, or dye-free, fragrance-free Dove.  I have it mostly on my face and I wash with Cetaphil or Oil of Olay.  I also get it in crazy places when I'm upset about something so I also use Aveeno Oatmeal Bath.  Hydrocortisone injections do NOT work for me so I also use Aveeno Hydrocortisone Cream in the bad spots.\n\nTake care and good luck!
