My eczema usually flares up when my nasal allergies flare up. do you have other allergies? I use a netipot to prevent pollen and mold allergy reactions. also vitamin e helps. if I get really itchy and need instant relief, I go to the medical supply store and get cotton gloves for my hands and put on cream or neosporin and then the gloves so my hands can heal

my sister stopped eating all bread and her eczema went away.

good luck

Eczema and skin cleansers

The first and primary recommendation is that people suffering from eczema shouldn’t use detergents of any kind on their skin unless absolutely necessary.[citation needed] Eczema sufferers can reduce pruritus by using cleansers only when water is not sufficient to remove dirt from skin.

However, detergents are so ubiquitous in modern environments in items like tissues, and so persistent on surfaces, "safe" soaps are necessary to remove them from the skin in order to control eczema. Although most eczema 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, often made from petrochemicals, 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").[19]

Unfortunately there is no one agreed-upon best kind of skin 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,[20] and no research has been done showing that products labeled "hypoallergenic" are in fact less problematic than any others.

Dermatological recommendations in choosing a soap generally include:[citation needed]
Avoid harsh detergents or drying soaps
Choose a soap that has an oil or fat base; a "superfatted" goat milk soap is best
Use an unscented soap
Patch test your soap choice, by using it only on a small area until you are sure of its results
Use a non-soap based cleanser
Use plain yogurt instead of soap

Instructions for using soap:
Use soap sparingly
Avoid using washcloths, sponges, or loofahs, or anything that will abrade the skin
Use soap only on areas where it is necessary
Soap up only at the very end of your bath
Use a fragrance-free barrier-type moisturizer such as petroleum jelly before drying off
Use care when selecting lotion, soap, or perfumes to avoid suspected allergens; ask your doctor for recommendations
Never rub your skin dry, or else your skin’s oil/moisture will be on the towel and not your body; pat dry instead

I heartily recommend using herbal treatment like Zenmed Eczema and Dermatitis Solution

Very effective.

If you’re looking for an organic solution try Aloe & Marigold from a brand called KuK Organics. It did wonders for my eczema. A bit pricey but does the job without harshful chemicals too.

My daughter gets awful eczema on the backs of her knees and the crooks of her elbows. Until recently there was really nothing that had worked, but a friend of mine told me about an all-natural kids skincare line called TruKid that has a product called the Hero Stick and a new one Rockin Rash Relief. Both use herbs and plants with anti-inflammatory and mouisterizing properties, which helps soothe the eczema and also prevents the dry flaky skin. When I contacted TruKid with questions they offered to send me some samples so if you’re wary of buying before trying it, I’d suggest you give them a call and ask for some samples. But I really recommend you try it!

Often skincare products can contain unnecessary ingredients such as colors or fragrance.

But also look out for harsh preservatives, like parabens, which can trigger an eczema flare-up.

I found a really useful site that lets you compare the ingredients of several leading brands, its from a company called exederm
