Heal with oatmeal. "Oatmeal baths made from powders such as Aveeno provide effective but temporary relief from the itching of eczema and dermatitis\nRelieve the itch with ice. An ice pack made by putting ice cubes in a plastic bag and placing it on the itchy area makes an inexpensive and effective itch fighter\nPour some cold milk onto a gauze pad or thin piece of cotton and apply it to the skin for about three minutes. Resoak the cloth and reapply at least two more times for three-minute soaks. Repeat several times a day, but make sure to rinse your skin in cool water after each application, because the milk will smell.\nAvoid most antiperspirants. The active "drying" ingredients found in most antiperspirants-aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate and zirconium chlorohydrates-are too irritating to those with dry, sensitive skin.\nKeep nails short and clean\nHumidify your surroundings recommend either buying a cold-air humidifier or placing shallow pans of water near radiators and on wood stoves to add humidity\nShowers should last about three minutes-and no longer than five minutes because longer shower will make dryness worse.And use only your fingertips to wash--not washcloths or sponges--and then pat yourself dry\nDon't forget your emollients\nWise to double-rinse your laundry to make sure the detergent rinses out and won't come in contact with your skin\nDon't use dryer sheets because some of the chemicals in fabric-softening dryer sheets remain on the skin and can be irritating to people with eczema\nDon't be a fool if you use a pool.(chlorine)\nBuy American when it comes to cosmetics. The general rule is, avoid cosmetics if you're bothered by eczema or dermatitis. But if you must wear them, buy American. That's because some cosmetics made in Japan, Italy, France and other foreign countries contain formaldehyde, which can cause allergic dermatitis in many people.\nIf you are feeling stressed out or are particularly worried about something, it will only aggravate your condition.\n\nHere are some other things that you should avoid if you're prone to eczema.:\n1.Baby lotions\n2.Colored toilet paper and tissues\n3.Stuffed animals, fuzzy and furry toys and pillows can bother those with sensitive skin\n4.Real animals\n5.Fake fingernails\n6.Live Christmas trees\n7.Quick changes in air temperature\n8.Metallic jewelry: If you're prone to nickel allergies--the most common form of contact dermatitis--then avoid watchbands, earrings and jewelry that cause a skin reaction. Buying earrings? Look for earring posts that are stainless steel.

You should see a Doctor first. I have a homemade remedy Lip-Ex and I take my Aloe plant and put the juice in it and stir it. But you may want to ask your Doctor first in case you are allergic to Aloe.

Sounds like eczema/dermatitis.  I have it and it comes and goes.  A medication cream through my doctor, Mometasone Furoate Cream 0.1% (brand is Fougera) is the only medication I have found to clear it up fast...and I have tried many medications.  You could try an over-the-counter Hydrocortizone with Aloe 1% or higher if you want to try to fix it on your own. Any brand, in the medicine isle will have it.  It will help with the itching for now. I would see a dermatologist if you can.\n\n*** Oh and eczema is NOT an STD it's just a skin condition that's treatable and has no other side effects.  Don't worry :)

I feel your pain! Here is the plan of action I have taken to heal my eczema as much as possible. \n\n1) Go to your family doctor and get a recommendation for an allergist (if you don't already have one).\n2) Get allergy tests done, especially a patch test, which tests to see what chemicals you are allergic to. You may be surprised of what things you are coming into contact with that you are allergic to. For me, it was fragrance.\n3) From your allergist, get a recommendation for a dermatologist. My allergist's solutions for my eczema were very temporary and honestly, not that helpful. \n\nMy dermatologist was amazing in helping me work on my eczema. I was prescribed 2 different topicals for my face and body. For my face, it was Cutivate, and for my body it was Dermatop.  The Dermatop worked wonders. Now that the sores and redness are healed up, I moisturize every day after I get out of the shower. Keeping your skin moist is essential in preventing future itchiness. I use Cetaphil cleanser and cream because it is hypo-allergenic and free of skin irritants. It is more expensive than typical cleansers (about $7-$9 a tub or bottle) but the cream lasts for a long time. It is also available at Wal-Mart, so it doesn't have to be purchased online. (BTW my Wal-Mart is not a SuperCenter, so it shouldn't be too hard to find).  Avoid any irritants.  The best tip I can give for you is to moisturize.. I can't stress it anymore! My eczema is at least 95% gone now. I'm still fighting a patch on my foot, but feet usually take longer to heal. I wish you the best of luck! It can get better!

My son had a similar condition last year at school. The nurse at school called me and apparently it is called " Fifth disease". It went away within 2 days,  it was splotchy, red, no itch, no fever, no residual side effects, but he looked horrible for 2 days, it affected his cheeks, arms, thighs, buttocks, back and stomach it  has never come back, I have never heard of anything like this being a recurring problem. Best wishes, Tiff

I suffer from the problem also.  I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed elidel first which worked well for 3 months until my system became immune to it I've also tried pandel my system also became immune to it. the best thing I've found yet is St. Ives Apricot Scrub and a light moisturizer like cocoa butter

get an aloe plant, or aloe plant cream. If you get the plant, which i recommend for the future, cut offone of the top branches, cut it in half, then rub the juces on your skin. This stuff is awsome for all skin problems.

My eight year old has exzema. It sucks. For natural cures, try a baby oil bath. Just make sure to scrub the tub when you are done! Pat your skin down when you get out of the shower and always moisturize. See if your parents will take you to a dermatologist. They are fairly inexpensive ( no insurance) and well worth it. ANY good skin cream during the day just read the label....make sure it hays no alcohol. \nAveeno works really well for us. Good luck!!!

Sometimes topical creams can help or certain medications. See you doctor/dermatologist for advice.

Hi There\n\nHere are some ideas on how to help her get healed.\n\nCause \n1.Cleansing the Skin: The skin is a very important part of the body; it is an "extra kidney," an extra set of lungs for breathing, and has many other functions. We should keep it in a good condition, important as it is, but we usually treat it shamefully. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and the skin should be bathed daily. This does not mean to use soap with each bathing, unless it is a natural type biodegradable liquid soap. Nearly all bar soaps do more damage to the skin than they aid it, by leaving residue of the soap to clog the pores. The pores are the doors and windows of the temple and must be kept open to let in oxygen (the breath of life) and to excrete toxins and waste. \n\n2.Diet and Use of Natural Fibers: A person who uses lots of mucus foods has a gluey, sticky type perspiration. When this individual sweats and the body is not cleaned regularly, the dried sweat clogs the pores. This is a beginning cause of dermatitis, or skin malfunction. In addition, as a nation we have fallen in love with easy to wash and iron synthetic clothes. These rob the body of the breath of life because manmade synthetic fibers do not "breathe." Only natural fibers such as cotton, wool, linen, silk, etc., can allow the skin to breathe properly. \n\n3.Diet: These are two of our big problems; the third one is a diet devoid of wholesome foods. We use man's prepared materials, called food, that have been contaminated and processed, and in so many cases, should be classified as "junk food." All aids to fighting dermatitis work better and faster if we consider the first three things mentioned--bathe regularly, return to natural fibers to wear, and eat wholesome foods \n\nHerbal Aids \n\n1.Dr. Christopher's Bone, Flesh and Cartilage: (BF&C) For the most severe cases of skin diseases in the advanced stage, use a combination we have called Bone, Flesh and Cartilage combination, internally and externally. Repeat procedure. Make the tea, soak flannel, cotton, or any white material other than synthetic--never use synthetic--wrap fomentation (soaked cloth) around the malfunctioning area and cover with plastic or wax paper, leave on all night six days a week and for as many weeks as needed until relief appears. Then continue a week or two for severe cases. Drink one fourth cup of finished concentrated tea with three fourths cup of distilled water three times or more each day. \n\n2.Dr. Christopher's Chickweed Ointment: This is made of chickweed herb and bees wax and oils. Excellent for eczema and/or other skin infections, sores, burning, itchy skin or genitals, swollen testes, acne, hives, also for ulceration of mouth and throat. This is a wonderful healing ointment. \n\n3.Plantain: For skin diseases that result in scrofula or eczema, use the tea internally as a blood cleanser and use the strong tea externally as a wash. If the skin is not oily, you can use the ointment topically to affected areas. \n\n4.Juices for Eczema: Carrot & cucumber. \n\n5.Cabbage Leaves: Cabbage leaves applied to an infected wound, ulcer, or oozing eczema should be layered like roof shingles, allowing secretions to drain between the layers. \n\n6.Tarragon: Soothing for eczema and scurvy. \n\n7.Dr. Christopher's Healing Ointment: (CMM) Made of comfrey, marshmallow, marigold, bee's wax, and oils, this is an antiseptic to be used on lesions, eczema (dry), poison ivy, soothes inflamed surfaces, abrasions, burns, hemorrhoids, for bruises and swellings. Good to have on hand at all times. \n\nTestimonials \n1.BF&C cures skin problem worse than eczema: One day a lady came into my office in a frantic state of near hysteria. She told me that her fourteen-year-old daughter was at home and some neighbor ladies were with her, to keep her from doing harm to herself. That morning the mother had stopped her daughter from committing suicide. The girl, for several years,
