    Shea Butter is not for treatment of Eczema.

    Shea Butter is great for dry skin.

    My two daughters and I have eczema. The only product that worked was Caladryl, original (pink) or clear. The Caladryl relief was instant.

    The original Caladryl worked better for the 3 of us.

    You set up an appointment for Monday, I hope your appointment is with a dermatologist. Family doctors are great, but not for eczema. Our family dr. prescribed about 3 different types of cream, none of them helped.

    Dermatologist specialize in skin conditions. My daughters and I were not prescribed the same medication. Our dermatologist is great, because he had 3 separate cases, me & 2 daughters and each one of us was were prescribed different creams and instructions. Have not had to return to the dermatologist and that was 16 months ago.

    I have eczema also and it does sucks…I have it only on my hands though and it gets worse through winter..But if my hand starts itching alot i got open hot water i mean really hot and blast it on my hand and i wont feel it itching then i would put vaseline on it and it feels so muchh better and it stays like that for the entire day…don’t forget to keep putting vaseling a couple times a day because if it starts to itch you have to go to the water and then put vaseline..and the reason why for me atleast is if my hands is already itching and i put vaseline on it will sitll itch so thats why….

    and make sure the vaseling you use its natural no scent no nothing regular vaseling..

    good luck and i hope it works for you!

    Edit: go to the doctor and they will prescribe you a cream if nothing works!

    Hello there. Any moisturizer (vaseline, aveeno or shea butter) is good for eczema. For me personally, the Champori lotion and spray works the best.
