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!!!

I was able to cure my eczema naturally with many different kinds of herbs, including python bile to cure my eczema secondary infections. Another practical method is very hot water in a pail.\n\nI did my colon cleanse. \nI did my kidney cleanse.  \nI did my liver flushes.\n\nThe worst culprit was my liver and gall bladder. 170++ 1cm stones and counting after 5 liver flushes.\n\nI found out the true cause of my eczema. Toxemia and Vicarious elimination. Because my liver could not filter my blood properly and could not release the precious bile because it was stuck up with so many many stones.  My blood was "dirty" or toxic, my body chose my skin to eliminate the toxicity.\n\nhttp://www.eczemacure.info/article/articleview/62/1/9\n\nRead my whole story with pictures for proof from the beginning (just 20 pages, 10 minutes).\n\nEczema is cureable. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. I got well. You can too. This is my full story. For Free!\n\nhttp://www.eczemacure.info

You may want to try taking sugar out of your diet and applying Aloe Vera gel to the area after bathing and whenever it itches.  The Aloe can eventually heal it almost completely if you apply it consistently. For extremely itchy eczema, you may want to try applying cooked, watery oatmeal to the area when it's really acting up. It can take the itch out almost immediately! Make sure you stop using any of the above if you seem to be having an allergic reaction or if it seems to make it worse, because people with eczema often have allergies to all sorts of normal every day things that don't bother other people.

The basis of treatment for ecsema (also called atopic dematitis - AD) is keeping the skin moist and clean, as well as avoiding irritants and known allergens as much as possible. Further measures become necessary if the case is particularly severe, or if the skin becomes infected.\n\nConventional wisdom has been that minimal bathing of the patient with AD is ideal. The rationale was that bathing would break down the natural oil barrier of the skin and cause further drying. It actually appears now that frequent long, tepid soaks are beneficial to hydrate the very dry skin that this condition produces. Adding a muslin bag filled with milled oats or the commercially available preparation Aveeno bath to the water can be soothing. The bath water should cover as much of the skin as possible. Wet towels may be draped around the shoulders, upper trunk, and arms if they are above the water level. The face should be dabbed frequently during bathing to keep it moist. The use of soap should be minimized, and limited to very mild agents such as Cetaphil. The bath must be followed within two or three minutes by a gentle patting dry, and a thick application of a water barrier ointment, such as Aquaphor, Unibase, or Vaseline. Lotions are not generally recommended as they almost universally contain alcohol, which is drying and may burn when applied. Soaking in plain water can be painful during severe episodes of AD. Adding one-half cup of table salt to one-half tub of water creates a normal saline solution, similar to what is naturally present in the tissues, and may relieve the burning. Commercial Domeboro powder may also be helpful.\n\nOne alternative to bathing is to use soaking wraps. For this method, cotton towels or other cloths are soaked in tepid water, with table salt or Domeboro powder added for comfort if desired. The patient's bed is covered with something waterproof, and the bare skin is covered as thoroughly as possible with the wet wrappings. The body should then be covered by a waterproof covering to slow evaporation. Vinyl sheeting and plastic wrap are two alternatives. The wraps should be left in place for as long as possible, but at least for 30 minutes, before the water barrier and any topical medications are applied.\n\nEnvironmental improvement affords some relief for many patients. Pet dander and cigarette smoke are potential aggravating factors. Keeping these out of the home is probably for the best, but at minimum, they should not be allowed in the room of the allergic person. Clothing and bedding should be 100% soft cotton, and laundered in detergent with no perfumes. These items should also be washed before the initial use in order to rid them of potentially irritating residues. Clothes should fit loosely to prevent irritation from rubbing. Washing bedding in hot water will help to kill dust mites. Running laundry through a double rinse cycle will help to remove any vestiges of detergent. Avoiding the use of fabric softener or dryer sheets helps, as these are frequently scented and may be irritating. Drying clothes or bedding outdoors should be avoided, because pollen and other potential allergens are likely to cling to them. Mattresses and pillowcase can be covered by special casings that are impervious to the microscopic dust mites that infest them. Under normal circumstances, these mites cause no problem, but they can be a major irritant for the individual with asthma or AD.\n\nTemperature extremes can make AD worse, so heating and cooling should be employed as appropriate, along with adding humidity if needed. Patients tend to have abnormal regulation of body temperature, and sometimes feel warmer or colder than other people in similar circumstances. Sweating will frequently aggravate AD. Room temperature should be adjusted for comfort. Central air conditioning is the best option for cooling the home. Evaporative cooling brings a large amount of potential irritants into the house, as do open windows. Air condi

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.

It is not likely eczema since that would be itchy.  Can you describe these spots more?  How long have they been present?  What parts of your body are they on?  Have you been sick or ill since these spots occurred?  How big are they?

I have the same thing. My dermatologist reccomended Eucerin, or Cortaid. If you are in a dry climate, also get a humidifier. They are really cheap and work alot. best wishes, and you can contact me if you need anything else.

I know what you are talking about as well.  My daughter and I both get this.  We are blond/blue and we get this on the underside of our upper arms.  It is not scabies, eczema or psoriasis. I have known people with all of those conditions, and this ain't it!  I will have to research KP and look for pictures.  KP sounds "stronger" than what we have.  I have noticed that the bumps are not as pronounced in the summer when I have been out in the sun more.  Also, as I have gotten older (I am 34 now), they are not as pronounced.  Good luck to you (and us!)

Eczema is caused by dry, irritated skin.\nWell nourished and moisturised skin cells are blocked together tightly, visualise it as a brick wall with each individual brick being a skin cell. When the skin is dry, the skin cells become flacid and lose it's moisture, or as you see it as a wall, the bricks begin to break and holes & gaps are formed allowing bacteria and dirt to enter resulting in the skin being irritated and red.\nHighly moisturising creams can assist the skin cells in forming a tight wall again developing a barrier against germs & infectants.\nSwap normal soap for your baby with QV Moisturising Wash, Ego Moisturising washes can also help and a Pinetarsol Bath and wash down can relieve your child of itchiness & discomfort.\nEnsure when bathing your baby that the water is not too hot, hot water can wash away the body's natural oil (Ever seen how easily hot water can wash away oil on a cooking pan?) resulting in dry, flaky skin. A lukewarm bath should be best.\nAlways moisturise, moisturise, moisturise to keep your baby's skin well nourished & healthy and always wash your hands before moisturising your child.\nIf your childs excema persists, see your local doctor for some cream. Cortisone creams & Topical Ointments work very well & you will see the eczema/skin condition gone after a day or two.

I've found that a clay mask will make the eczema go away completely, while lotions tend to just suppress it for a short while.  You might even get good results using the mask before you have a problem.

Renew skin lotion By Melaleuca. Plus he may have a nutritional deficiency causing the flare ups. Maybe a good Kids vitamin.
